re: #867 NelsFree

You left out, “economies of scale”, and a vague suggestion of a “neener”.

You will very seldom see me resort to ‘neener’ or any other childhood taunt.

I will, however, sometimes chuck out a ‘economy of scale’ or ‘what goes around comes around’.

It is demonstratively difficult to hold onto a city once the jobs leave. For some reason, the whole ‘well, we’re not worried, we’ll just sell each other hamburgers and social services’ crowd simply do not convince in the long run. It may be a long decline, and it may be a slow decline, but the end result is death.
