Will their beverage plant be here or is it out of the US.
It's not a "will it be," apparently it already exists. The paper mill with 1500 employees only represented 10% of their staff, and they have 53 other manufacturing plants and 2 carton filling machinery plants.
As far as I can tell, they have 2 facilities in Canada, 1 in Israel, and 5 in Mexico. The other 49 are in the US.
I found that they opened their 3rd Mexican facility in 2011, but I can't find when they did the first one:

"Bill Clinton and Al Gore's development of the internet led to the demise of paper, which would be true..."
That's as bad as saying Trump developed Covid vaccines 🤪
Both statements are a real stretch

Everything else I've guessed at has been right. I might have missed this one. I haven't had time to read who owns the company and if they're opening a paper mill out of the US . With saying the beverage thing might just be a smoke screen. Will their beverage plant be here or is it out of the US.

Is this another factory of a long list of factories moving out of the US due to democratic policies
According to their press release, they're shutting down the paper division due to a lack of demand and instead focusing on their more profitable Beverage Merchandising division.
I know it's important to try to make your opposing party look bad, but really, Biden has done enough stupid stuff that you don't have to make up things...

That's a joke��right?
Not at all, Tilly. It's a well documented fact:
As a Congressman in the 1970s, Gore was a leader in introducing computers into the Congress itself. When he was a Senator, Gore sponsored several bills making the federal government a catalyst for the "information superhighway." While only the 1991 High Performance Computing Act became law, his constant prodding gave the concept high visibility within government and among academic and industry leaders.
More important, Gore was responsible for mandating the 1987 Reagan White House policy study of government computer networks. The 1991 law directed over a billion dollars to connecting computers into national networks linking universities, schools, and other institutions.
Even more important than the money were the goals of improving public access, creating digital libraries, and pushing unclassified technology from the military into the public and commercial spheres. Coordination among government agencies, including NASA and the Department of Defense was strongly encouraged. These activities laid the foundation for the explosive growth of the Internet in the mid-1990s.
In sponsoring his 1991 bill, Gore envisioned a national network that would "provide for teleconferencing, link your computer to millions of computers around the country, give you access to huge 'digital libraries' of information, and deliver services we cannot yet imagine." Not a bad or inaccurate vision.
Gore did not claim he wrote programs or built computers. What he did as a congressman, senator, and vice president was more important: promoting a national policy to transfer defense-funded computer research to the private and educational worlds and to promote universal access.

There arent any, hillbilly. Just a crowd who likes to whine about issues without coming up with any reasonable solution.

Not even close to true. They said that they're closing it in order to focus on their Beverage Merchandising operation, which is apparently more profitable:
Considering that the paper products they sold are becoming more and more obsolete, that's obviously more of a sign of the times than anything that the Democrats have done. Unless you want to argue that Bill Clinton and Al Gore's development of the internet led to the demise of paper, which would be true...
