Wouldn’t surprise me that the jobs went to Communist China

Just so hard to blame Obama for all this...when many non-conservative GOPers continue to support Free Trade with Communist China and other bad Globalist trade deals

Hard to call Obama and Dems communist when we still have too many GOPers who love Communism just as much

“The interesting thing is that they (the financial institutions) don’t come to the Congress, I mean the Federal Reserve buys them out, they own it. We as tax payers now own Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and know one knows how much that will cost. They don’t come to the Congress, we don’t have appropriations, it’s done by secret government, private individuals behind the scenes maneuvering and manipulating and trying to patch things up. While in the meantime, I’m sure there’s a few people making a couple of bucks out of this whole thing.”

Not being from the area, just checked. Dublin appears to be a suburb of Columbus, OH.

Brutal...

Yes. I worked for LCI in the 90’s and our Network Operations Center was based there.

Not good. The layoffs seem to be coming in the thousands everyday now.

Dublin, OH is located on the northwest side of Columbus.
It's one of the more affluent communities in that area of Ohio.

I wish them the best. I think about all these folks losing their jobs...really depressing news...

To be honest, I’m still employed, but I feel hammered and beaten down just watching these events.
