Exactly. I don’t want to hear it from Moore or Sanders that we’ll get to tehse people by giving them false hope on getting their jobs back. The industrial revolution is done. We’re in a post industrial period. I feel bad for people who lost their jobs due to jobs either moving other seas or automation but it happens. The coal mines were declining when my grandfather was a young man. That’s part of why he came down to Va because he saw the future was in all the construction projects that were happening.

Since we’re in a music/arts thread, just a few references:

“The Day They Closed the Factory Down” was released in 1979.
“Allentown” was released in 1982
“Roger and Me” was released in 1989.

It’s like they’re waiting for Godot.
