At least the automated looms didn’t also tell the millworkers to self-harm…

“There is nothing fair about a trade war that is raising costs for Maine families, killing manufacturing opportunities, or putting small businesses, millworkers and rural communities in the crosshairs of a fight they did not start.”
Maine governor Janet Mills has a message about Trump's trade war with Canada:
I’m the governor of Maine. This is what I want Canadians to know about Donald Trump’s trade war
President Donald Trump’s trade war is harming the economies of two countries which are united economically and culturally.

Many Canadians don't seem to realise the extent of economic damage occurring in parts of Canada.
For example, when a lumber mill shuts down:
-Hundreds of millworkers lose jobs
-Families leave town
-Schools close
-Town Hall loses tax revenue, can't fund programs
-Shops go bankrupt
Etc

Northeastern industry made a big move to industrialized (and non-unionized) textile production in the South in the late 19th and early 20th century and I think for some people that's what they mentally associate with US textile and garment production--primarily white Southern millworkers.

These families will need our help and support in the months and years ahead. If you pray, now is a good time to send up some prayers for the millworkers in Longview and their families.

They say it's all genetics
This malady of mine
So I set out on a journey
To tackle my #bloodline.
It started out so humble
Millworkers and the lot
But as I researched further
The dicier it got;
Apparently the crazy
Goes back farther
than we thought.

there's at least partially a fantasy of working class voters - by which they mean, like, miners and millworkers, that are socially conservative, lifetime in one job etc. Except that sort of person is basically extinct - working class these days means "office worker"

When the millworkers of Lawrence, KS, went on strike in 1912, they asked the IWW for help. By winter the national movement was feeding 50,000 people in Lawrence. The governor called out the state police. By February the food was running out & families sent their children across the country to live.

A teensy part of my family tree goes back to the Lowells who were thick as thieves (being literal here) with the Cabots. My family ended up as farmers and teachers and millworkers in the hinterlands of New England and we are not buried in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, but yeah, the Cabots. Lol.
