Cat built a huge engine plant in Sequin, TX about 10 years ago or so.

Iowa’s reaction to the pandemic had a lot to do with this, as well as the taxes. Maytag left Iowa a long time ago.

The only downside is all those liberals moving to Texas.

Caterpillar to move global headquarters from Illinois to Texas

I wouldn't be surprised to someday read a headline along the lines of: "All companies in California, Massachusetts, Oregon, Wisconsin, New York, (etc.) moving headquarters to Texas or Florida or an equally great southern state."

All Democrats and RINOs are totally clueless why this rapidly growing trend is happening. Or they stubbornly refuse to hear all the valid reasons why so many companies are picking up and leaving. More and more Republicans and conservatives are smartly moving south. Even so, all Democrat/RINO politicians continue pushing their idiotic, self-destructive, wasteful agenda. I guess the Democrats/RINOs figure, Hey we successfully stole the election and got away with it, so we can literally do anything we want, such as wildly spending the people's money like there's no tomorrow, and there will never be any impact. Um, clueless Democrats/RINOs, have you checked out Senile Sleepy Joe's Stock Market recently? .......... DOLH!

All Democrats/RINOs: "Well, fellow Americans, that's your reward for letting us steal the 2020 election -- the totally incompetent, senile Sleepy Joe and his ongoing bear market. You're Welcome!"

ITW needs to smarten up make the same move!

Cancel the blue states!!!

This reminds me of the time Obama misquoted the Caterpillar CEO on the “porkulus.” Obama destroyed having Caterpillar in Illinois.

Surprised Sleepy Joe hasn’t enacted Directive 10-289 yet. The purpose of Directive 10-289 is to arrest the country’s economic decline by freezing the economy in its current state. The directive makes it illegal for workers to leave their current jobs and prevents businessmen from closing their doors.

Interesting move.

Used to be you built the headquarters where you felt you could attract the talent you want.

Dallas was NOT viewed as a place that ‘premier’ talent wanted to go.

Chi town must be in it bad.

Caterpillar to move global headquarters from Illinois to Texas

Inch by inch. Very slowly.

Irving Texas my home town. It is amazing the firms that have moved to Las Colinas.

How much did Greg Abbott pay for this with my property taxes that have gone up 64% in the last 5 years.

I’m getting close to the point of selling my house to a Democrat and moving to a bunker in the country. $2M is my number - 3X what I built it for (Zillow says I’m at $1.6M, now).

Simply trading one Leftist tard cesspool (Chicago) for another Leftist tard cesspool (Dallas, Fort Worth)......

Lots of people are reading the tea leaves of the ILLINOIS Pension Crisis and what it is doing to the inevitable tax tsunami in that state. Over the past generations, Illinois (Chicago) has played the corrupt public union game of bribing now and borrowing against later.

Well, now is that later and the rat that stinks is that the Illinois State Constitution REQUIRES full payments. The current obligation is $237 BILLION but the funds on hand are $96B which is 40.5% of need.

So, if you can’t pay, you need to raise the funds elsewhere ...

Too bad so many Illinois politicians no longer reside in the state. Wonder why?
