#1 "We are disgusted, yet again, as another profitable corporation has decided to close the doors of a manufacturing icon in corporate America’s never-ending quest for profit, without any regard for the people amassing their wealth,"

Sort of commie there aren't we? The sole purpose of a company is to make profit. If it doesn't it goes out of business. No one stops you from assembling the 'capital' to buy the company and keep manufacturing in WI. Of course, as a union you fund the progressives(neo-commies) who do nothing but make it complicated and expensive to operate in their domains.

#3 I wouldn't want to stay in Wisconsin, either.
(FWIW, I'm still using Master padlocks out of a box of 20 keyed alike I bought 15 years ago. Probably never need to buy another lock for the rest of my life.)

#4 Any use of the word Master has been determned to be racist (ie Master bedroom, Master key or Masters degree).

#6 As a kid, favorite villain on Felix the Cat was the Master Cylinder, mainly because I was precocious enough to get the joke.

#7 America’s never-ending quest for profit, without any regard for the people amassing their wealth

I had to read that one twice as I thought he was talking about union leadership.

I still have a couple Master locks around, key and combination padlocks.
