[quote=Anonymous]Sorry to say, but the honest answer is "nothing". Thanks to Mr. Carrier and his fancy air conditioning, people would rather live in the Sunbelt than the Rustbelt. Same with companies; why deal with folks used to fancy union wages when people Down South will do the same job for $15 an hour and for $5 an hour a bit further south than that? LOL to the posters who pointed out the disparity in concern when the economic "hollowing out" hit the black communities in Newark, Detroit, Cleveland, etc. last generation. What happened to "personal responsibility" and "bootstraps"? They are exactly right. Chicago, Minneapolis and other nice cities will do fine, but large swaths of that area truly serve no economic purpose. Also, a universal basic income will be needed in this country before long.[/quote]
