[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]They're both out of luck but the issue is of what you do about that bad luck. In those old broken down manufacturing communities anyone with a clue moved on to other towns with better prospects. We have people sitting around whining that there's no jobs and no opportunities even as millions of illegal immigrants come all the way here from places like Honduras and El Salvador with nothing but the shirt on their back, who ARE able to find jobs in construction, in restaurants, et cetera. And they are jobs that not only pay for food and a roof over their heads but also provide enough money for them to be able to send a big chunk of it home to their families in central America. That's millions of jobs that were there for the taking for Americans - but Americans turned their noses up at them. I had my share of hard times too, had to work 2 and 3 jobs at a time, went for stretches where I barely had $7 a week to put food on the table, had to move several times because I couldn't afford to live where I was or had to move because work was drying up, so the whining and excuse-making that I constantly hear is really just a bunch of pure crap to me.[/quote]

People forget why Detroit grew so large to start with--for the jobs.  North Dakota has jobs now, but people would rather stay put and collect welfare or food stamps.[/quote]

The entire population of North Dakota is the same size as the District.  They have had a recent boom due to tracking, so people with mining skills are in demand. There are 20,000 job openings in North Dakota right now, and they will all get filled.  And some of those people will have moved to get them.[/quote]
