the Michael Moore film "Roger and Me" came out shortly after I moved to the Detroit area, and it tells an accurate story.

General Motors moved activity from perfectly well functioning and profitable plants in Flint and elsewhere to Mexico so that they could go from a $55/hr wage and bennie package to a $12 one.

And these asshole want to blame the Mexican workers for it! As if it was their fault! (I'm being rhetorical, but I am sure, not inaccurate)

To modify an old political saying;

No one ever lost a demographic underestimating the stupidity of offended white people

Ford, GM and Chrysler seemed to have been very adept at pitting the black and white factory workers against each other over the years, in spite of the UAW's efforts to the contrary.

There is a very good reason "8 Mile Road" is famous.

92. True story.
Thu Oct 8, 2020, 06:23 PM
Oct 2020

I moved from the South to Michigan and my new next door neighbors asked me what I missed about N. Carolina. I listed a bunch of things and then added, "but I won't miss the rednecks". They were both Michiganders from birth and said to me, "Oh, you just wait until you get up beyond the tri-county area of the lower peninsula. We've got our own special kind of rednecks." That was before the Oklahoma bombing.

The gun culture and rednecks here are much worse than I ever experienced in N. Carolina.

I was a much younger person when that episode happened and I always look back at it now and think of how naive I was to think the redneck personality was only in the South. Now that I'm older and have lived in four different states I realize how prejudiced my remark was. As an aside, my next door neighbors were a lesbian couple and after I got to know them better they would open up to me about how they were treated by some of the neighbors. They were considerably older than me and didn't live next door for long.
