The people who could afford to move away and wanted to did.
same story for most the midwest
So the only people left we're too poor or too stubborn to leave.
Basically
Story of a lot of factory towns
What the local mayorship is doing aint helping much. Last I heard, they wanted to ban bulletproof glass.
Heck, similar story to what happened to bridgeport here.
hence the name for the region, The Rust Belt
Wonder if Camden NJ had a similar story or.if it was just always a dangerous place.
kinda simular, except less industry
more on the side of rapid urbanization
Same thing is happening to coal towns now
*has been*
Has been happening to mining town for all of history really
since the end of the second world war
Mine runs out, everyone peaces
But coal is more the market dries up
How bout the coal mining jobs coming back? I thought that was one of the things Trump wanted to fix?
It is.
`woo coal industry`
He declared global warming fake news and took a victory on that promise I think
"I have pulled out of the Paris Accords, I have saved the coal industry. Job down."
"now if only I had pulled out of Paris Accord...."
Well, the Paris Accord was definately not helping against GW.
And the US was actually putting more of an effort into it more than other countries were.
And who was keeping track?
Of all the money?
largest alterinative energy producer
Or if the countries were actually using them for their intended purposes? Do we just take their word for it?
I don't really care about them tbh, and GW alarmist hurt it worst than denyists I think.
With coal it's not just about global warming, coal power plants produce a shitload of toxic byproducts
Like, making sure some of the money didn't just... disappear?
Coal just in general has been on the way out for a while
We need more nuclear plants.
oil is heading that way too
People not happy with regulation around it? Or that people can get it cheaper overseas?
Like what caused the US coal mines to shut down in the first place?
@CreativeRealms if they were more commercially viable we would be building them
And well, if they had some low risk areas to construct them
They are powerful yes, but one mistake can screw over alot
