I feel for the folks affected by situations like this, the same exact thing happened in Aberdeen with logging. People waited until the very last mill closed and then acted surprised. With logging, the writing had been on the wall for years, and some of them did nothing to prepare, they just waited until it was done and then they were in a bad spot. Similar situation.
