Caterpillar to move headquarters to Texas from Illinois in fresh blow to the Chicago area

Caterpillar Inc. said Tuesday it will move its global headquarters from Illinois to an existing divisional office in Irving, Texas, in the Dallas–Forth Worth area, in another blow to metropolitan Chicago, which last month lost the Boeing Co. headquarters.

The move is “in the best strategic interest of the company,” Chief Executive Jim Umpleby said in a statement. The heavy-machinery maker has had a presence in Texas since the 1960s, it said.

Well played, Illinois! And that Money Bags and simply morbidly obese Goober Governor Pritzker now wants to run for President.  :rotf:

More corporate BS.

What Umpleby really means is:

"Lori Lightfoot is so horrifically ugly and unsatisfactory, Caterpillar can't be even seen in the same state she's in.

"Besides, she's got the biggest dick in Chicago. That cannot stand."
