Excavator factory in Kernersville, North Carolina. Distribution center outside of Hebron, Indiana.
But the rest of the story about which the Chicago/Springfield political press corps including the anti-business "business" journal Crain's are blithely ignorant or dutifully indifferent, is that Deere was a looking at Chicago for the distro center that went to Indiana (1.2M sq ft, 150 permanent jobs, 400-500 union construction jobs).
As I understand it from a reliable source, Deere was ready to green light Chicago but the lawlessness in and around the city persuaded them to choose Indiana.
As with Caterpillar, Deere is methodically divesting from Illinois. In a couple years, Pritzker will be bitching about their formal departure just as he did when Cat moved its global HQ to Texas.
Carry on, Illinois.

Unreal

@AdamParkhomenko How virtuous you all are….knowing full well that this behavior has been going on for over a decade.
You want adoration now? You people are sick

UPDATE: It looks like Paige Ostroushko has deactivated her Instagram account and is trying to scrub everything about herself off of the internet after her actions yesterday.
She and her father's entire social media accounts were called "MN ANGRY FATHER" and "MN ANGRY DAUGHTER".
The father, Chris Ostroushko, has blocked me on Instagram and it seems they are trying to do damage control after the entire family's violent actions yesterday.

@dirtyracoon25 @PenguinsPR Go run a couple laps and settle
Duster..

@PenguinsPR Would love to see Wilson injure the entire big 4. This team deserves a terrible outcome due to how they handled this. You're playing for a cup, or you're not.

GOOD NEWS: The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office states that the three people who assaulted me yesterday, will be CHARGED.
Here’s the footage of Paige Ostroushko, one of the three, being arrested after attacking me.
She immediately runs from the police and pretends to act shocked as to why she’s being detained.
Thank you to @BreannaMorello for being so on top of this and thank you to the Sheriff's department who ended up having to drive me to safety yesterday due to the violence of the mob.
Am looking forward to seeing these charges all the way through.

@MAGAMichelleS69 Because they are warriors 😆. Simply put, mental illness! It’s gone unchecked and encouraged for too long!

@Savsays @SaraGonzalesTX I say the same to you that I say to leftists. Why were you there? None of this would have happened to you if you weren’t kicking a hornet’s nest.

@jimball1000 I’m impressed by the “No Spilled Coffee for One Month” medal

Random Note — Imposter Syndrome
Sorry, not sorry but this garish display is cringy and embarrassing bullshit.
Be interesting to contrast and compare the war stories.
Check them out…Barrett’s medals are participation medals.
They look impressive but are pretty much just for showing up. For being there. Or maybe she chipped a nail.
Medals for time served in the job. Whoopty doo…Why not a gold watch as well for 25 years.
Like every child gets a prize.
The net effect is to diminish the value of the medals of those (BRS or anyone else) who has actually been in the trenches and in the line of fire and earned recognition.
Barrett’s are attendance medals and should be kept in a bedside drawer.
Trying to elevate Barrett’s over the top, array and display to be something equivalent to or approximating that of veterans who have been on the frontline is 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫.

NOW IS THE TIME.
All Ex-Presidents, Vice Presidents and Speakers of the House should stand up and denounce Trump threatening to use Nukes on Iran.

@JunkScience One of my grandmothers was born(1917) and raised in Homestead PA, moved a couple of miles south when she got married, had 7 kids, quit smoking at age 62 (smoked for 44 years)
Died too young at age 92
English

Arnold Palmer often smoked while playing golf. It probably helped his game by controlling anxiety. He lived to be 87, way past today's life expectancy.
Ben Hogan was heavy smoker – reportedly as much as two packs of unfiltered Chesterfields per round. Died at age 84 – also well past life expectancy.
Not advocating. Just pointing out the facts that show EPA hysteria about fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in outdoor air being deadly is not even close to being reality based.

@basileWX @Alonso_GD Who gives a fuck about you? Go suck a tailpipe asshole

@Alonso_GD In fact, all military personnel have a legal duty to refuse to comply with any order related to attacks on Iran in any capacity, as this entire aggression by the United States is wholly illegal under Article 2 of the UN Charter.
