“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?
Congrats NY!!
Manufacturing really is the top of the food chain.
You get rid of the MFR. There are numerous business that their whole business in one way or another revolve around supporting that MFR or their employees.
Could be:
small niche manufacturers,
Food service people,
Maybe medical specialists, chiropracters, Physical therapists, etc.
Truckers, Taxis, ubers
Window washers, florists, car washes, dog groomers, child daycare, pet sitters, etc.
Once the top of the food chain goes. Their business, or customers, no longer are able to support them.
Look at the man’s hat
