Right... Let's not be too hard on the tobacco companies because you'll lose the vote of every blue collar farmer that's wants a stable job cultivating tobacco.

It's a pretty routine argument that says if you threaten my job for any reason I'll vote you out.

Doesn't matter if my job is creating things that crash, giving people cancer, etc.

That argument doesn't fly for a lot of us.

There will still be mechanical and aerospace jobs, just at companies that aren't going to play fast and loose with regulations.
