So, the same thing is happening to Middle America that happened to, say, black people in Northern cities back in the 60s/70s when those factories went away, too?
Weird. I wonder if it's something in the water.
PS Some what related, it would be worthwhile to look at the effects of enclosure on many British peasants prior to the Industrial Revolution. Read somebody like Henry Fielding bitching about poverty, crime, and vagrancy in British cities in the early 18th century and it sounds almost exactly like a late-20th/early 21st century politician complaining about "those people" today.
