And where would the state find jobs for those machinists at some other company in CT? On the unemployment lines those people would stay. Sad for the families, but the state would be to blame.
Did you ever see the writing on some of the S&W's made in Maine? It says made in Houlton Maine on the slide. They started out making handcuffs and some other S&W items, then a .22 pistol, now a lot more is being made there. S&W has been moving some of it's operations out of Massachusetts for about 25 or 30 years now. The people there love the company because they provide much needed jobs in the perpetually bad economy of Northern Maine.

Good. The way we stop ignorance and bigotry of all kinds is that any and all regardless of party or position lose their credibly, influence, image and have to start from scratch to rebuild all of that or they will not be welcome in conversations, debate, office, negotiations, polite company etc...

Why go where you're not wanted?

I only have a small amount of sympathy. It's about damned time union workers understand the consequences of their vote.

You can fault them "enough" to go somewhere that not only elected someone pro2A before all iris madness, but someone who is still pro2A now...And when they voted for him, he claimed to be pro-gun. As long as they oust him at the next election, I can't fault the people of WV too much.
