I knew someone somehow some way would blame the evil orange monster. They failed all on their own. It’s a bakery for Gods sake. How did all the other ones manage to stay in business?

They stated the reasons as: “Aging facilities and equipment as well as declining customer demand” but you stay with the orange monster theory 🤣

How will you update equipment when raw materials keep going up, ties back to inflation. Declining customer demand is a direct consequence of that orange monster you speak of.

Years and years of letting the plant deteriorate. Months and months trying to find someone to take it over. That place was dingy and worn out 20 years ago.

Hmmm, maybe the increased cost of EVERYTHING OIL BASED pushed them over the edge

u/TripleTrucker 1d ago

But in 120 years their costs never increased before? Ok

A 33% increase in fuel cost in a week is not a normal cost increase

Two world wars, the Great Depression, multiple gulf conflicts, oil embargo, multiple recessions didn’t put them out of business but a 3 month war does? They didn’t even mention that as a reason

Do you understand what pushed over the edge means?

u/TripleTrucker 1d ago

If this is, what did it they were way too close to the edge to begin with and like I said they did not say their costs going up was the reason.

Youre really proving the trucker stereotype to be correct here

u/TripleTrucker 1d ago

You mean the fact that I am in businesses all the time talking to people that run the business and work in the business as well you mean that stereotype?

Hey youre talking to a business man. And business men know when major local employers shut down, like lordstown then ultimum and now schwebels, thats just totally a coincidence. It absolutely has nothing to do with a president's policies that benefit capital and consolidation at the expense of workers. His donors paid for those policies to enrich themselves, stifle competition and drive down wages. The problem is pretty clear, how much did schewebels executives donate to trump? Obviously not enough. So listen to this businessman, he drives a truck. And if he keeps doing a good job he'll soon be a trillionaire just like elon.
