Man, we were just chugging along and Mr Bankruptcy had to come along and crush his own voters.



"The company said it is “committed to supporting affected employees through this transition by providing access to onsite HR support and a dedicated employee support line, an employee assistance program, and guidance on unemployment benefits through Iowa Workforce Development."

...

"Alarm bells should be sounding in our communities," Weiner said. “The Bureau of Economic Analysis showed in a release last week that Iowa is one of just two states where real GDP has contracted. Our agriculture economy is worsening, on-again-off-again tariffs are exacerbating existing issues, and Iowans hardly go a week without seeing another round of layoffs.”



 
We need pain & manufacturing job loss in order to bring jobs back!
 
That’s capitalism. Consumes aren’t buying Amana products and presumably buying a competitor’s products.

As an aside, I have a Whirlpool washer, a front loader and I really like it. It’s 13 years old and going strong and saves water.
