The thing that gets me is like i said the hundreds of printers being manufactured by Lexmark CONSTANTLY, 24/7.

When i was 19 i worked in a small factory for a while in Randolph, MA that made pressurized well tanks, all day long those suckers were being built.
At the time i often wondered who the heck are buying all of these things?

Anyways Mr. Trump has been showing stats that all of our Eastern states have lost around 50% of our manufacturing since the years 2000.
I often wonder if either of those two factories still exist..and what happened to their workers.

I suppose i could look it up on the web although i can almost guarantee that my local pressurized well tank factory is looong gone.
i should take that exit of of RT 128 and check it out some time.
Thank you politicians....

When i was a kid growing up my grandmother worked in a factory making water meters here in Ma, Hersey Products.
Those water meters were in hundreds of thousands of homes back then.
After 30 years she lucked out, 2 months after she retired the company moved SOUTH, to the Carolina’s, The “old” MEXICO.

Bet they are not in North Carolina anymore. there is NO “South” for these corporations anymore.
I wonder if Hersey Products even exist anymore....
gonna have to look it up.
I remember as a small child she gave me a tour, i was amazed looking at their foundry, she used to bring me home boxes of magnets and gears that i would spin like tops.

the old factory in Dedham, Ma is gone now, replaced by apartments with mandatory 25% section 8 there now.

Not quite sure on the 25% but i’m sure it’s close...
