83. so...
You apparently would have opposed the Union blockade of the Confederacy, because that prevented the mills in England from getting cotton and that threatened far more jobs than this does.

In fact, the very workers in England threatened and suffering as a result of the blockade supported the Union cause and an end to slavery even though it meant hardship for themselves.

There will be no less work if customers go to other stations, and no fewer jobs.
