Manufacturer that burned as Minneapolis protests turned violent plans to relocate from city

A Minneapolis manufacturing company has decided to leave the city, with the company’s owner saying he can’t trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the recent riots. The move will cost the city about 50 jobs.

“They don’t care about my business,” said Kris Wyrobek, president and owner of 7-Sigma Inc., which has operated since 1987 at 2843 26th Av. in south Minneapolis. “They didn’t protect our people. We were all on our own.”

Wyrobek said the plant, which usually operates until 11 p.m., shut down about four hours early on the second night of the riots because he wanted to keep his workers out of harm’s way. He said a production supervisor and a maintenance worker who live in the neighborhood stuck around to keep watch over the business. He said they became alarmed when fire broke out at the $30 million Midtown Corner affordable housing apartment complex that was under construction next door.

“The fire engine was just sitting there, but they wouldn’t do anything,” Wyrobek said. “That’s the frustrating thing to us.”

What we need is a mass exodus of businesses and people out of the newly created sh*thole cities.
Why any business person who can make a go of it would remain in any city that defunded the police is beyond my comprehension.

They are welcome in the Silicon Desert.  Low taxes, warm all year round (like Summer, at 110F!).

Yep. Minneapolis, New York, Chicago, all of California, are going to become an industry desert.
The politicians there believe that pandering to violent extremists is more important than their economy.
