Last I heard they had car factories there.

2018-01-10 00:19:29 UTC  

most of the large industry left in the 70's

2018-01-10 00:19:36 UTC  

Leaving cause of what? Dem regulations or taxes?

2018-01-10 00:19:39 UTC  

Yeah so they need to make new jobs.

2018-01-10 00:19:48 UTC  

Automation I think

2018-01-10 00:19:55 UTC  

Well, on top of that, those jobs are also becoming more and more automated.

2018-01-10 00:19:58 UTC  

outsourcing

2018-01-10 00:20:01 UTC  

Didn't need the line workers

2018-01-10 00:20:15 UTC  

Could get more cars out of the factories they had

2018-01-10 00:20:30 UTC  

Probably also moved to a cheaper state too

2018-01-10 00:20:38 UTC  

Basically just the market changed

2018-01-10 00:21:01 UTC  

So basically, no jobs in the area

2018-01-10 00:21:11 UTC  

Basically

2018-01-10 00:21:16 UTC  

southern states offer great insentives for automakers, so a lot of them moved there

2018-01-10 00:22:26 UTC  

Well, it made a vicious circle. Everyone became unemployed in a short amount of time, then before any new business really moved in the crime had risen I think making it not exactly hospitiable to new businesses.

2018-01-10 00:22:44 UTC  

The people who could afford to move away and wanted to did.

2018-01-10 00:23:02 UTC  

same story for most the midwest

2018-01-10 00:23:04 UTC  

So the only people left we're too poor or too stubborn to leave.

2018-01-10 00:23:11 UTC  

Basically

2018-01-10 00:23:22 UTC  

Story of a lot of factory towns

2018-01-10 00:23:23 UTC  

What the local mayorship is doing aint helping much. Last I heard, they wanted to ban bulletproof glass.

2018-01-10 00:23:42 UTC  

Heck, similar story to what happened to bridgeport here.

2018-01-10 00:23:44 UTC  

hence the name for the region, The Rust Belt

2018-01-10 00:24:19 UTC  

Wonder if Camden NJ had a similar story or.if it was just always a dangerous place.

2018-01-10 00:24:44 UTC  

kinda simular, except less industry

2018-01-10 00:25:03 UTC  

more on the side of rapid urbanization

2018-01-10 00:25:11 UTC  

Same thing is happening to coal towns now

2018-01-10 00:25:29 UTC  

*has been*

2018-01-10 00:25:32 UTC  

Has been happening to mining town for all of history really

2018-01-10 00:25:50 UTC  

since the end of the second world war

2018-01-10 00:25:51 UTC  

Mine runs out, everyone peaces

2018-01-10 00:26:23 UTC  

But coal is more the market dries up

2018-01-10 00:26:25 UTC  

How bout the coal mining jobs coming back? I thought that was one of the things Trump wanted to fix?

2018-01-10 00:26:34 UTC  

It is.

2018-01-10 00:26:52 UTC  

`woo coal industry`

2018-01-10 00:27:01 UTC  

Will help for a bit but it's probably temporary until the next ban happens.

2018-01-10 00:27:02 UTC  

He declared global warming fake news and took a victory on that promise I think

2018-01-10 00:27:42 UTC  

"I have pulled out of the Paris Accords, I have saved the coal industry. Job down."

2018-01-10 00:27:55 UTC  

"now if only I had pulled out of Paris Accord...."

2018-01-10 00:28:26 UTC  

Well, the Paris Accord was definately not helping against GW.

2018-01-10 00:28:58 UTC  

And the US was actually putting more of an effort into it more than other countries were.
