I suggest if you really want to see what has happened to jobs in the United States you might get a copy of the book Glass House. It is the story about Anchor Hocking once the largest maker of glassware in the US and the town of Lancaster OH. The book not only looks at what happened to the company but also what happen to the town of Lancaster and its people.
I happened to be captive in a car for 4 days as I drove from Florida to Colorado so I listened to it as I drove.
A link to a completely non political book review
Glass House: The 1% Economy and the Shattering of the All-American Town by Brian Alexander, Hardcover | Barnes & Noble(R)
Also found Hillbilly Elegy to be an interesting read
Hillbilly Elegy by J. D. Vance on iBooks
COPUFF now in the Mile HIGH state |
You're a WOMAN...you care about the PERSON...that's why you like these kinds of "stories"...but you MISS the BIG PICTURE!
Taken from your own link...Hillbilly:
"Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of
a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm"
THAT is the take home message...America is dying as the white male demographic falls. Over the last 40 years we've fallen in world ranking continuously. We're down to #25 now. BECAUSE white males were replaced by women and minorities. America is relying on the "second string", the "B" team...instead of ONLY the very best.
