I lived in MA, I know what jobs pay there and the benefits you get when working there and I know exactly why you live there and not some shit hole Red State like FL or GA or AL or SC...
Your paper mill job in MA probably paid you more in the 90's than what that same job pays at the paper mills right now today in Savannah Ga. Because MA is a state that has protected workers rights while GA is a state who protects corporate profits...
I bet not a single one of you Red Hats living in Blue states has ever had to live and work in a shit hole red state...

when i started in 92 fresh out of HS (paper mills and unions being the family business) i was making $8 an hour, 2 months later we were on strike, which ended with ZERO being accomplished.
