| Longaberger Baskets gone. |
The iconic basket in Newark, Ohio is going to be empty soon.
Founder Dave Longaberger had made baskets with his family for years before he passed away. His daughters Tami and Rachel ran the company until it was bought out by JRJR Networks and its CEO, John P. Rochon.
The company is shutting doors at the end of the month.
Longaberger Basket Company officially going out of business. The basket company is located in Dresden and the iconic basket building is in Newark.
The company had 8,200 employees at one time.
The building that is a stable of Newark was abandoned in 2014. Now as the company is officially gone, what happens to the building?
Ohio is suffering. Under John Kasich's leadership, the state has lost population.
The rust belt cities of Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown, Toledo, Dayton and Chillicothe lost a significant amount of people.
We have an opioid crisis. The arm candy (heroin) is killing individuals.
Many people view Kasich as favorable but he is eventually going to leave the Republican Party soon. His lieutenant governor Mary Taylor and Ohio attorney general Mike DeWine are distancing themselves from him.
These two are running for governor of the state. They are showing Ohioans why they have no value as leaders of this state.
The state is bleeding population which in turns drops the unemployment rate. The Republicans will brag about how the economy in Ohio is doing well. It isn't. Each of the Republicans running for higher office are claiming they're the best conservative for the position. Each candidate wants to toss Trump's salad.
Being a conservative should be a badge of shame.
The state is going to lose two congressional seats at the 2020 census.
Today is the primaries for Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and North Carolina.
These states were carried by Donald J. Trump.
West Virginia, Indiana and Ohio are part of the Rust Belt. These states suffered and it looks like we will put more do nothing or do something worse politicians in office.
