I lived a couple towns away from Danville for a while. Every town was just scraping by, so to lose 10 jobs was a huge setback, let alone 500+.
On the silver lining, we've known about the fragility for decades; so have always been interested in alternatives. You can't rely on the system! Some of us have gotten out, or survived with remote work and other creative approaches. In one sense, it prepared us for this upcoming boom!
