Crime in Lewiston, Maine
Crime is ranked on a scale of 1 (low crime) to 100 (high crime)

Lewiston violent crime is 13.5. (The US average is 22.7)
Lewiston property crime is 35.8. (The US average is 35.4)
YOU SHOULD KNOW
Violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.

Property crime includes the offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. The object of the theft-type offenses is the taking of money or property, but there is no force or threat of force against the victims.

Lewiston/Auburn has always been the armpit of Maine, at least as long as I've been alive. Even so, the violent crime rate is WAY below the national average and the property crimes are average. All the trash you're hearing because of the Somali community there is just that--trash. No one said it was Beaver Cleaver's neighborhood, either, but it's not been somehow devastated by the refugees there.
Lewiston, Maine Crime

So you have no
Issues with more Somalian refugees going to that community

I don't live there and I had not heard that more would be arriving. There was the large group that arrived from Congo in Portland, but that's the last I heard.

Ethanol producer blames Indiana plant closure on Trump's EPA

CLOVERDALE, Ind. (AP) — The owner of a western Indiana ethanol plant is blaming its shut down on the Trump administration allowing some refineries to not blend ethanol with gasoline as required under federal law.

Indiana?
South Dakota?

Midwest farmers' Trump loyalty tested by new corn-ethanol rules

“That's our own country stabbing us in the back,” farmer Randy Miller said. “That's the president going, 'The oil companies need to make more than the American farmer.' ... That was just, 'I like the oil company better or I'm friends with the oil company more than I'm friends with the farmer.'”

At least 15 ethanol plants have been shut down or idled since the EPA increased waivers under Trump, and a 16th casualty came Wednesday: the Corn Plus ethanol facility in the south-central Minnesota town of Winnebago. The Renewable Fuels Association says the closures have affected more than 2,500 jobs.

Minnesota?
And that’s from Fox News.

It wasn’t enough to trump had ruined the lives of soy bean farmers. Now he’s attacked corn farmers. And prices of everything’s going to go up with all those farmers going bankrupt and losing their jobs.

When they say they’re not sure who they’re going to vote for, what they’re saying is they are ashamed that they voted for Donald Trump because he’s ruining their lives.

People don't think about this, but fishermen are also "agricultural" workers. They harvest the sea. When the tariffs first went into effect last year, fishermen optimistically looked for different markets. Apparently, that hasn't worked quite as well as they'd hoped.
Let's hope for everyone's sake that the Maine lobster market doesn't go belly up. Besides being a major industry in Maine, people all over the country LOVE them. It would be pretty sad if we had to import them from Canada!

U.S. lobster exports to China have fallen off a cliff this year as new retaliatory tariffs shift the seafood business farther north.

China, a huge and growing customer for lobster, placed heavy tariffs on U.S. lobsters — and many other food products — in July 2018 amid rising trade hostilities between the Chinese and the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, business is booming in Canada, where cargo planes are coming to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Moncton, New Brunswick, to handle a growing bump in exports. Canadian fishermen catch the same species of lobster as American lobstermen, who are based mostly in Maine.

The loss of business has brought layoffs to some Maine businesses, such as The Lobster Co., of Arundel, where owner Stephanie Nadeau has laid off half the 14 people she once had working in wholesale.

Maine lobster industry losing business to Canada because of Chinese tariffs

I didn’t even know they could farm lobsters. You learn something every day.

There is a lot of stuff you do not know...

Fish and lobster farming is a big business for the Vietnamese...

I never heard of farming Lobster--you need a pretty big space for them. We raise salmon in pens out in the ocean, but that's about it. I think it would be cool to grow clams on ropes the way they do mussels. Clam diggers just about break their backs digging for them. That's part of why we ended up with an opiate epidemic way before the rest of the state. Really hard work is really hard on the skeleton.

Oh, I know. Fishermen are always bellyachin' about something--bait prices and fuel going sky high, lobsters coming late because the water is cold in Massachusetts this year, prices too low to afford hauling the traps, licenses not available, on and on. But losing a hefty chunk of their market? That's a new one and it obviously is hurting Mainers. Who cares about us, though? They aren't subsidized, although Susan Collins and Angus King both pushed to have fishermen included. They are being impacted on the west coast, as well.

China is stripping out the African Ocean waters just like they did in the China Sea. They don't need Maine or anyone else for seafood as long as they are allowed to do that. China takes the prime catches for themselves and exports the rest.

So you guys understand that if Trump offers you free money it’s just until after the election. After that you’re on your own. In fact his attacks might even be worse.

Why wouldn’t democrats continue to pay farmers until the trade war is over?

It’s not Democrats who don’t like to help people.

You know Trump is only doing this to get reelected. If he gets reelected no more help for farmers. And he’ll fuck them over big time.
No more help for anybody. Trump will fuck over everybody he can. Because that’s his nature.

Cool story

And true, that’s the best part.

Your opinion

You got to be kidding me. You don’t think Trump would help people if there wasn’t something in it for him do you?

Trumps going to try to throw as much money as he can at farmers and then once he’s reelected fuck’em.

He’s not gonna help them after that. Why would he? They served their purpose.

 

[deanrd]

Did you guys watch that?

Trump's Secretary of Agriculture was in the Midwest and at a meeting of farmers, he said what do you call two farmers in the cellar?

A "WHINE Cellar".

At first they laughed and then the boos got louder than the laughs.

Trump's Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue tells joke about whining farmers to a room full of them, gets booed

You got to be kidding me. You don’t think Trump would help people if there wasn’t something in it for him do you?

Trumps going to try to throw as much money as he can at farmers and then once he’s reelected fuck’em.

He’s not gonna help them after that. Why would he? They served their purpose.

Not that you ever been able to prove any of your stupid claims.

Notice your avy continues to show your butthurt.

On one hand, farmers have never been this critical of the Trump administration and the trade war with China. On the other, their love for the president seems to be growing.

Support for the president rebounded in the past year, with 67% of farmers saying they’d back him for reelection in 2020, according to a survey of 1,150 growers carried out by Farm Futures between July 21 and Aug. 3. That’s up from last year, when backing fell to just under 60% following the introduction of Chinese retaliatory tariffs on American soybeans.

The Trump administration has faced farmer backlash in recent weeks as the U.S.-China trade war means an essential block against American goods in one of the most important buyers. Meanwhile, crazy weather in the Midwest has added to farmer woes as forecasts for big crops from the Department of Agriculture dragged down prices. Things have gotten so heated that the USDA was forced to withdraw its staff from a crop tour last week after a government employee was threatened.

Since the end of the survey period in early August, farm tensions have continued to accelerate as the Trump administration granted waivers allowing some oil refiners to sidestep biofuel mandates, the USDA reiterated its outlook for big crop yields and amid further escalations in the trade war.
