Go figure. Apparently, the AOC approach to business has real world consequences. Also, I bet the mayor of Springfield is a phucking leftard democrat and should just shut the phuck up.

Smith & Wesson Ditches Massachusetts Over Pending Legislation, Moves Headquarters To Tennessee

Less than six months after gunmaker Kimber Mfg. moved from New York to Alabama due in part to 'gun and business-friendly support' from the red state, Smith & Wesson is moving out of Massachusetts - and will relocate its headquarters to Maryville, Tennessee in 2023, according to Bloomberg.
The nation's largest gun manufacturer cited restrictive legislation currently under consideration in Mass., which if enacted, would prohibit the company from manufacturing certain guns in the state they've called home for nearly 170 years.
"These bills would prevent Smith & Wesson from manufacturing firearms that are legal in almost every state in America and that are safely used by tens of millions of law-abiding citizens every day exercising their Constitutional 2nd Amendment rights, protecting themselves and their families, and enjoying the shooting sports," said SWBI CEO Mark Smith.
"While we are hopeful that this arbitrary and damaging legislation will be defeated in this session, these products made up over 60% of our revenue last year, and the unfortunate likelihood that such restrictions would be raised again led to a review of the best path forward for Smith & Wesson," he added.
The move will bring 750 jobs to Maryville, along with a $125 million investment, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development.
Lower cost of living was also a factor in the move, according to Smith.
Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno said in a statement that the move will cost the city 550 job, which he described as 'devastating' for the families involved. The city said they would attempt to work with the gunmaker to try and retain 1,000 remaining jobs.
According to a person familiar with the move, the company will keep some production in Springfield.
Smith & Wesson was founded in 1856 by Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson in New England - eventually settling in Springfield. In addition to manufacturing some of the most legendary firearms in US history - including the .44 magnum, they have supplied weapons to the US military and police departments across the country. -

I'm assuming that the slobberer got a sex change operation and then the dementia patient appointed him as Comptroller of the Currency based on her AOC like understanding of economics.

CAPITALISM: THE UNKNOWN IDEAL. Comptroller of the Economy.
President Biden checked off another progressive identity box last week by nominating Saule Omarova as Comptroller of the Currency. Some Trump appointees were ridiculed for having supported the elimination of their agencies. Ms. Omarova wants to eliminate the banks* she’s being appointed to regulate.
The Cornell University law school professor’s radical ideas might make even Bernie Sanders blush. She graduated from Moscow State University in 1989 on the Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship. Thirty years later, she still believes the Soviet economic system was superior, and that U.S. banking should be remade in the Gosbank’s image.
“Until I came to the US, I couldn’t imagine that things like gender pay gap still existed in today’s world. Say what you will about old USSR, there was no gender pay gap there. Market doesn’t always ‘know best,’” she tweeted in 2019. After Twitter users criticized her ignorance, she added a caveat: “I never claimed women and men were treated absolutely equally in every facet of Soviet life. But people’s salaries were set (by the state) in a gender-blind manner. And all women got very generous maternity benefits. Both things are still a pipe dream in our society!”
Sure, there was a Gulag, and no private property, but maternity benefits!
Omarova “graduated from Moscow State University in 1989.” That was the same year that Boris Yeltsin visited a supermarket outside of Houston, Texas:
In Yeltsin’s own autobiography, he wrote about the experience at Randall’s, which shattered his view of communism, according to pundits. Two years later, he left the Communist Party and began making reforms to turn the economic tide in Russia.
Maybe you can blame those frozen Jell-O Pudding pops he’s seen marveling in those Chronicle photos.
“When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people,” Yeltsin wrote. “That such a potentially super-rich country as ours has been brought to a state of such poverty! It is terrible to think of it.”
Old and busted: Make America Great Again!
Omarova’s new hotness? Make America Soviet Again! -
Scratch a leftist, find a fascist. The Bernie Bros aren't good at Maff.
