Lots of places in Ohio USED to be Steel Mill towns, they USED to be Paper Mill Towns, they USED to be Auto Towns, they USED to be Tire Mill towns.

ALL were shut down, in very large part, to ever-increasing government regulations making the operations unprofitable.

Now they only growth industries in these paces are Meth Manufacturing and the sale of Heroin.

The lucky few get local and state Government jobs, while everyone else just barely eeks out a living.

The EPA and labor unions have destroyed heavy industry in this country. Our coal fired electric plants are being shut down because of the EPA. Remember Obama promising this back in 2008?

I remember when the Lorain Pellet Terminal opened for business. That killed off a couple of mills on the Cuyahoga. One of them was across the river from our fueling terminal.

People still believe that propaganda. LOL.

Those companies left to exploit slave labor and re-import product at first world prices. They used a lot of excuses like that in the process to fool idiots like you.
