2. "I believe this was because of the dumping of tires from Thailand and China"

"And there are no tariffs put on them..."

3. most of the commenters speculate that the factory is closing in advance of the tariffs

since it's a Japanese company, many foresee a lot of foreign companies to close up shop here.

6. In advance of the tariffs on say "raw materials"?

Because if there were no trariffs placed on raw materials, the US location would be advantageous for a US market.
As usual, the media just does the human interest portion without getting to the root cause.

4. He might be right. The video really doesn't go into detail regarding the root cause of the shutdown.

I'd like to know whether if were operating expenses, price of raw materials or labor that made it uncompetitive.
Tire manufacturing is dirty and rather low-tech work that frankly can be done pretty much anywhere.

5. I wonder if this is an example of

Japan First?

MJGA?

The start of something to tell the American workers that pain is a two way street?

7. While I Sympathize Fully...

...I don't yet see evidence this is the result of the Face Eating party winning on the 5th.
I find it a difficult to believe a $25 billion company made this decision in under 10 days.
More likely, this has been planned since Q1.

12. sure didn't take long for the Pinkertons to set up shop

Happy Thanksgiving and remember, this is the real war on Christmas, Try to celebrate Black Friday now.

The history of labor in the U. S. is rife with tales like this.

13. Anything good that's happening now is being credited to Trump's 2nd election

By that logic, everything bad happening now and going forward should be credited to Trump's 2nd election.
