800 Jobs Lost in Ohio—Thanks, GOP Voters!

800 Jobs Lost in Ohio—Thanks, GOP Voters!

Well, here’s a plot twist no one saw coming: Pixel Speciality Solutions, the paper mill in Chillicothe, Ohio, has just announced it’s closing its doors, leaving 800 families without jobs. That’s right—800 jobs gone, and it’s all in the name of economic changes. The irony? The community that voted 70% Republican—including backing Trump—is now facing the reality of job loss thanks to policies that many of these same voters championed.

The CEO’s explanation? The mill is simply “navigating changes in the economy” (translation: tariffs and business decisions). The mill’s shutdown is a direct hit to the local economy, with estimates saying 60% of the community was directly employed by the mill. So, if you were wondering how those tariffs are panning out—well, this is the real-life consequence.

But hey, don’t worry, folks—America is changing and, apparently, not for the better. So, as this community reels from the closure, maybe they’ll have a change of heart when it comes to their political preferences. The mill may be shutting down, but at least they got a front-row seat to the “winning” economy that many seem so proud of.

Who knew “Make America Great Again” could lead to a paper mill closing and hundreds of jobs vanishing into thin air? Truly, the art of the deal never looked so tragic.

Let’s see how this plays out for the families left behind. And hey, folks, let us know what you think—this one’s a tough pill to swallow!
