Pointing out that you have no BLS data like you claimed is hardly whining. Accusing me of whining because you can't provide the BLS data that you claimed to have would be the actions of a toddler. You continue to make claims without providing any evidence. More actions of a child.
BLS does track plants like that as evidenced by the numbers on the chart that I posted that came from BLS. Care to provide a link to what you claims is on the Census website? I'll give you a hint. Census doesn't track any companies based on less than 50 employees, The category is 20-99. It's kind of hard for 400,000 manufacturing firms to vanish since there were never 400,000 firms to begin with. Sure, there is turn over as one man shops shut down and reopen but there are not near enough of those for 400,000 to have done that in the last 4 years. Then the most recent data available for businesses by the Census bureau was conducted in 2021 with data released in 2023. At this point, you are just making shit up like a toddler because the data clearly doesn't exist.

It seems you are the one that is a victim of your ignorance as you claimed that Census shows 400,000 manufacturing plants closing since 2020 and yet Census data only goes to 2021 and shows no such thing.

All you have is beliefs since you certainly don't have links to any data that you claim that you are using which doesn't appear to exist as you claim. It seems your head is the one up someone's ass since you can't even do basic research or support for your idiotic claims that all facts from Census and BLS show to be made up by you and don't exist in the real world.
My guess is you don't spend much time in small towns if you think they are filled with empty factories. I have relied on small manufacturing facilities in suburban towns for decades and it would seem you don't know what they do. Some of them have closed over the years for various reasons but in most cases it had to do with poor management.
I am still waiting for your evidence from BLS or Census that shows that hundreds of thousands of manufacturing facilities closed after 2020. You may be confused and not know the difference between a restaurant and a manufacturing facility because a lot of restaurants closed.
Provide your evidence from the Census Bureau or continue to be accused of making up your "facts" because they are made up and not true in the real world.
