Great job, Dimwingers. Sat back and allowed your city to burn to the ground. Now the jobs are leaving.
Manufacturing company in Minneapolis since 1987 leaving city after violent protests
A Minneapolis manufacturing company, whose plant burned amid civil unrest following George Floyd's death, is leaving the city after nearly four decades and taking dozens of jobs with it.
The president and owner of 7-Sigma Inc. Kris Wyrobek felt inclined to do so after he says he lost trust in public officials during the riots that plagued the city, according to Star Tribune.
"They don't care about my business," said Wyrobek told the Star Tribune. "They didn't protect our people. We were all on our own."

The company, which designs and manufactures polymer solutions and precision metal components, has been operating in south Minneapolis since 1987. The city will effectively lose 50 jobs when Wyrobek takes his business elsewhere, according to the outlet.
Wyrobek isn't alone in his frustration. The city of Minneapolis says the looting and property damage have already caused at least $55 million in destruction so far.

Says they are moving out of the city. Doesn't say they are moving out of Minnesota. I hope they are able to rebuild and I hope they get the city or the state to pay for it.
