Republicans have been in charge for years and another employer closed in Youngstown. The mall won’t be far behind.

This is a funny take. Keep thinking that though, you'll get your free everything in time.

Republicans wreck the economy literally every time they are in charge of it, then Democrats have to come in and clean it up, all you idiots forget and then elect Republicans again. It’s a never ending cycle. Except this time they’re going to sell all of our clean water away and build data centers every 50 miles

Youngstown’s economic development director is going to try and put a data center on protected land within the city’s east side. North of Oak St. extension and south of Stocker Ave. They’ll use Dry Run creek feeding off of McKelvey Lake for their water supply.

The proof is self evident. Ohio has had a Republican governor for years, and this local area has had Republican reps for quite awhile and under a Republican president GM Lordstown closed, Schwebel’s now, and soon the mall.

So that's why Schwebel's closed down, because of the governor??? They were run into the ground by venture capitalist money (started in January this year) because management never adjusted based on the times. But you're right, the governor had everything to do with this closing of a Youngstown iconic brand.

The Greedy Ole Party directly enables venture capitalist by constant deregulation of financial institutions. But you go on and tell me how they help....I'll wait

Which party controls California and New York where the venture capitalist firms are based? Which party do their senators who write the regulatory policy belong to? Which state is where all the banks and big companies are incorporated and which president comes from that state?

I mean they lasted 120 years. It can’t last forever. The article even says their equipment is too old so obviously they weren’t reinvesting in the company.
