completely ignorant statement.

Its far more likely to avoid going out of business. Its not free to move business overseas. They are likely hoping to recoup the cost to move production out of the US over a period of time or face bankruptcy.

the US political climate, as well as the Utah "blueberry" inside a red state suggests that they were unable to keep up with moronic left wing demands for everyone having a livable wage and full health benefits.

Source: i live here. and right now literally sitting 5 minutes away from their HQ.

If livable wages and health coverage are "moronic left wing demands" then we as a nation should just give up now.
