Michigan Ladder Company has ceased to exist. It was the oldest ladder manufacturing establishment in the country.

YPSILANTI, MI — A longtime ladder manufacturer in Ypsilanti closed after 120 years due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Dear God! The virus must have made sick or killed a lot of people in that place, right?

Tom Harrison, owner of Michigan Ladder Company at 12 E Forest Ave., announced the closure in a Facebook post on Thursday, April 8, citing difficulties due to the state-ordered closures of non-essential services to curb the spread of COVID-19. The company then put out a press release with the announcement on Thursday, April 8.

So it was not the COVID virus but the Gretchen Virus as in the psycho Governor of Michigan.  And then the truth is revealed:

During shutdown, we lost a number of customers. Our competitors at that time did not have to shut down,”

Ouch. It is almost like Virus Gretchen not only does not give a damn about Michigan’s business but you would think she is getting kickbacks from out-of-states producers.

And this is really the sad part:

Michigan Ladder Company is running an online auction, which includes machinery, inventory and intellectual property.

The government broke their soul. They just simply say “fuck it” and are selling it all. Hopefully they get a decent amount of money and move to a Free State like Florida.
