What town/state are we talking about?
Is it a mining town where the mines are shutdown?
Is it a mill town where the mills are shutdown?
Is it a auto manufacturing town where the cars went obsolete?
Agricultural town where the farms are gone?
You mean sort of attention to context and nuance that wasn't part of the conversation when we were talking about other economic systems?
For a people who won the cold war y'all are very defensive about this whole thing lol. Like the slightest acknowledgement that this system also sucks for a lot of people means we're headed straight for the gulags again.
