We are getting flooded with people running out of Chicago and their story is interesting. A lot of the people coming down here are in the restaurant business or service related and hotels, etc.
So far the ones I have had the occasion to talked to seem to be decent, hard working people who just want to live a peaceful life and raise their family in their values, not mandated by the government. I haven't talked to a Democrat yet with the exception of a man from New Jersey and I couldn't understand him because he had on two masks and we were outside. I did request he not continue voting for liberals because the Democrats in our state are like Pelosi and AOC. They are far left, fortunately they only have political power in a few big cities and SE Florida. We try to contain them there.
I made the same request of a California transplant and possible client that moved to KY 2 years ago. He was all friendly and appreciative of the lower taxes and costs for everything since he relocated, spoke very negatively about the Cali economy, and was glad to be here.
I went straight at it, and said to remember that when you vote, so you don't bring the same Democrat policies with you that destroyed California and made you want to leave. He got the deer in the headlights look and didn't say much to me after that. I hope beyond hope that he understood and changed his ways, but it seemed clear to me that he was a dog going back to its vomit when it came to ideology.
