[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I must say it's interesting that all my white relatives, of varying income and education levels, rail against low income black people and other minorities and ask, "what about personal responsibility?"

Yet apparently unemployed whites in the rust belt don't have to be personally responsible for their fate. [/quote]
Why didn't they move to farm country and take the $10/hr jobs that are offered to American workers?  Americans used to move to where the jobs are. Now, they just sit on their asses and complain about how the government doesn't bring them jobs.[/quote]

The Great Recession changed people's moving rates. If you think people aren't still scared, then I assume you don't know anyone affected by the Great Depression.[/quote]
The Great Depression saw lots of people moving for jobs, and it was a damn hell harder to move back then than it is today. Spare me the "you don't know what it's like".  My father was a blue collar worker in a manufacturing plant who got laid off; I also at one point got laid off.  Neither of us blamed the government. We updated our skills and found a new job. That's called personal responsibility.  Oh, and he had limited English skills, to boot.[/quote]

What I was saying is that my grandparents were permanently scarred by the Great Depression. Why is it surprising that people today were scarred by the Great Recession?

The rate of families moving has decreased significantly, a phenomenon that started in 2008. People are irrationally fearful.

Most of the younger families have already moved to where the jobs are. Many small towns are entirely older people. They also have a high and increasing suicide rate.[/quote]
