Is this MAGA?


Yes. Paperless is part of the MAGA environmental initiative. Trump started the whole trend.

Let’s not turn this into an OweO bashing thread please. It’s not fair because he can’t stand up for himself.

what if it makes the OP feel better,


I mean this legless loser made fun of a man losing his job

next to losing a child/spouse or divorce its one of the more stressful things

and chris thinks its funny

It’s scary because I haven’t had to look for/apply for/interview for a job in 25 years.

It’s all the damn environmental nut jobs telling you not to waste paper. If only they could see the impact it has on real people




Let's see, print and store countless boxes of paper to keep everthong on a couple hard drives.

Times change.

Sucks for the workers, no doubt. Best wishes to all those affected

and just too add, I saw both Lennox and Scott Industrial were hiring

Lennox is a huge air conditioner/ commercial cooling manufacturer and i"m not sure exactly what Scott does to be honest, but I see heavy machinery on the yard so

Link to Lennox jobs in Arky

If you need anything else let me know, I'm in freight brokerage and IT so we aren't really crossing fields here but if you need to know anything about Stuttgart I'll provide what I can

He may not find it right where he's currently living but I'm sure there are lots of plants that will hire guys like him with 25 years of experience.

For a long time GP was my only customer. Thankfully I expanded my customer base about 15 years ago. I'm sure I know a few people from your mill in the same situation as you.

I know it feels hopeless right now. But you will land on your feet somehow.

Truth is, he's fortunate his layoff is during the good economy of Trump and not during the 8 year recession of Obama. The economy is so good here around Baton Rouge that we can't keep good young employees because the chemical plants are hiring them all away. But that's just facts, and I know liberals have problems with facts.


Not an Obama fan by any means but the economy was on a good upswing his second term and has continued. We are in the tenth year of an expansion back to 2009. While a president can make the economy move up or down I don’t see one person regardless of who is president making or breaking it.

We were thinking we had 7-10 years left here at least. As bad as it sounds we were thinking the Port Hudson mill going down would push more work our way.


Best of luck to you finding something new. That is a world shaker since you've been there 25 years.

Do you have kids that are going to have to handle this as well?
