400 South Jefferson is about 3 blocks west and 1.5 blocks south of Union Station. That would be another 2 blocks south of the Ogilivie Transportation Center. Those are the 2 major commuter train stations in the city.

Being west of the train stations means the office is closer to residential areas instead of headed into the downtown office and shopping areas.

If your lease is running out, and you have a number of employees already working from home because of COVID lockdowns, it probably makes more sense to move the jobs to a state that does not have mask mandates, very large failing school systems, and many of the other cultural advantages that a place like Chicago can offer.

what sparked the exodus?

Rhetorical question. Even Lightfoot knows the answer but does not dare say it.

Where will all those taxpayers be working. When major flagship corporations move out, the businesses that support them and their workers begin falling away.

Look at Baltimore, Detroit and Philadelphia. It’s about time Lori Lightfoot explain why Chicago should be any different given her policies.

Just wait until the gangs figure out how profitable kidnapping can be. They are basically there now considering all the carjackings going on. If they begin targeting the uber-wealthy maybe things will change for the better.

Self-preservation is not racist.

It is in our DNA.

Get a clue.

That’s ok

The blacks who lose their jobs at Tyson can just go work in the TV commercial industry

Whites need not apply

If you are so smart, then how come you don’t vacation in Upper Volta and Gabon? The way that I do?

We are ALL those taxpayers no mater where we happen to be. The Feds will bail them out with Fed dollars. And it will cost us all. Lok at Ca, they are the first and foremost receiver of general fund Fed tax dollars.

It shivers me when someone says “Well fine, then Ca voters get what they deserve”. They don’t understand that WE ALL PAY FOR THEIR CRAP.

Well at least you understand it for what it really is. Most do not.

Thank you, I wish more did.

The Covid-(federal money)spigots are still open for the major cities and Blue states. That much is undeniable.

I’m not sure if ANY SANE BUSINESS is in ChiCongo. Tyson Foods and sane is an oxymoron.

I never buy any food made by Tyson.

I stopped buying Tyson in 1992, when I learned of the Clinton-Tyson-Mena connection. Haven't bought it since, never will.

“.......Harsh, relentless punitiveness is an absolute necessity to protect the normal people. The fixation with the destructive myth that ‘all life is sacred'pushed by all religions is just psychological unilateral disarmament. The openly transgressive need to be terrorized and often killed as an example to their like.........”

I don't think anyone should have to live in an ISIS society or in Iran. Some government's cruelty to their citizens is just too horrific to be justified.
