"Denison leaned into the microphone and told the assembled crowd his story, introducing himself as a third-generation GM autoworker. “I started in Dayton, Ohio. I watched that plant close. I went to Shreveport, Louisiana. I watched that plant close. I come here to Lordstown, Ohio, happy to be back in my home state. I’d never have thought that Lordstown would close.”

When I was in HS, we'd go to Lordstown to play basketball games. The school smelled of chlorine b/c they had a pool. A pool!!! Nobody had a pool in our area. Lordstown did.

I just had a vist with a freind I grew up with from ohio.
He was able to retire early in life thankfull to fracking and selling mineral rights on property he invested in and his father left him.
But he worked in the steel mill for 33 years and they shut down and said thank you. Even with them still putting out a quality product.
