    Maybe if Georgia didn’t dick around with delays in the Trump cases, the plant would have survived.

          It’s a plywood mill.

          According to the statement, the closure comes after housing affordability challenges, and a 30-year low in existing home sales that are impacting the plywood business.

            Thanks. I should have read the article. My bad. I never knew they made lumber. I thought it was all paper products.

          Nobody knows.

          I’m definitely not going to read the article to find out before commenting on it.

          Or are they simply moving the plant somewhere else?

          If they’re moving, then they’re gonna need some cardboard boxes…

      Wasn’t that the one where a Trump supporter became the lead prosecutor, had an affair with one of the other lawyers, told the Trump team about it, and refused to resign or recuse themselves and drug it out until Trump won reelection?
