For now, Ilion isn't.

Welcome to Georgia, YALL
Somewhere in State of Georgia. Near Columbus or Valdosta or Warner Robbins? My guess: near a Military Base and near an interstate highway.
No sympathy from me.
Years ago, I was complaining to a gunsmith that Remington would send me the wrong parts, and was crap for customer service.
He told me the employees did it all the time on purpose when they were in a labor dispute.
Their quality also went to S.
There are ‘red-areas’ of NY as conservative as anywhere else. I live in one of them in the NE part of the state near the Finger Lakes. It’s beautiful here. I’ve only been to Ilion once, it had a nice small town vibe. Unfortunately most of the cities big and small are deep-blue $hitholes run by commie lib-tards. So many of the conservatives like this one are counting the days until we can retire and move.
Ukraine is said to need ammo.
I wonder if Chuck Schumer will fund a federal ammo factory in town.
I was looking at a map of New York State last night.
Perhaps upstate New York should be sold to Canada. Canadian real estate prices are high. Upstate New York real estate prices are often very low.
The Canadians might even be interested in buying Wayne County, Michigan.
NYS, GA.
What’s the diff?
NYS has Letitia James and Hochul.
GA has Willis and Kemp.
SSDD.
Remington needs its head examined.
Smith & Wesson.headquartered for almost 200 years in Massachusetts,recently left The Gay State for Tennessee.
New York State is a LOSER State. No one in their right mind would bring a business there or keep one there. Ontario Knife moved out of NY too.
I lived a village over from Ilion (Herkimer). The Arms was the biggest employer in Herkimer County. My neighbors worked at the Arms. That area is mostly blue collar, conservative, Trump supporting voters. It’s going to be devasting to the Mohawk Valley.
“Implied in the article is the fact that Ilion has a soul....... It’s New York
For now, Ilion isn’t.
Wonder why?”
I wonder too, but what I wonder is what the hell were you trying to say?
It made ZERO sense to me. Hello? Comma-La is that you?
This is not the first company to pack up shop and leave. NY state has become very bad to business. Homeowners also. Cuomo once said if you are Conservative , then NY is not the place for you. The tyrants up in Albany are getting their wish. Wonder who will be paying all the taxes necessary to fund illegal aliens and the welfare state?
LOL! Keep voting union and Demoncrat and this is what you get, FOOL! BTW, if I were Remington, I'd make damn sure to hire new (red) blood and leave the parasites, union thugs, liberals, socialists, and demoncrats behind. NOT welcome in GA!
The apparent goal for upstate New York is to be like East Germany in the 70s.
Sixty years ago when President Kennedy was murdered by a commie with an Italian made 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifle, the congressmen of the NE states immediately called for a ban on the import of such rifles, “to stop crime.” They got the ban in 1968.
It was later found that their hatred of army surplus rifles was that they were trying to protect their local gun makers from CHEAP COMPETITION as an army surplus could cost as much as $15 while a rifle made locally would cost $95.
The same thing happened in 1968 with the murder of Bobby Kennedy by a Palestinian Immigrant using a US made cheap Iver Johnson revolver. Politicians tried to make it sound as if it was a foreign made “Saturday Night Special” and the import of them was banned in 1968.
The anti-gun movement grew till now even home grown firearm makers are catching heat from the very politicians who should be protecting the industry instead of driving them out of state.
For now, Ilion isn't."
I'd like to buy a vowel, Pat?
Ilion may well have a soul, but the State does not. No government does.
Remington should have gone to Idaho instead of Georgia. Georgia is part of the South, where the work ethic frankly sucks. Workers are only interested in putting in their 40 hours with as little work as possible.
Ping.
Poor bastards in Ilion have the historical misfortune of being in a country run by New York City.
