Do you want to see where this country is headed? If so, don't focus on the few areas that are still very prosperous. New York City has Wall Street, Washington D.C. has the federal government and Silicon Valley has Google and Facebook. Those are the exceptions. The reality is that most of the country has been experiencing a slow decline for a very long time and once thriving cities such as Gary, Indiana and Flint, Michigan have become absolute hellholes. They are examples of what the rest of America will look like soon. 60 years ago, most Americans were decent, hard working people and there were always good jobs available for anyone that was willing to roll up his or her sleeves and put in an honest day of work. But now all of that has changed. Over the past decade, tens of thousands of manufacturing facilities have shut down and millions of jobs have left the country. Cities such as Cleveland, Baltimore and Detroit were once shining examples of everything that was right about America, but now they stand out like festering sores.

Preppers’ PING!
HEY! How can you tell if your girlfriend is getting fat???
And how many of those are Democrat controled?
All of them I believe.
Thanks for re-posting this, Kartographer. Between this & the “flash mobs”, my hair is really starting to smoke.
People are waaay too accepting of this stuff, imho.

Sheesh! All are run by Demlibs and occupied by Obama’s relatives. What went wrong here?
When we have people like Bill O’Reilly saying that the police can’t do anything and the National Guard can’t do anything, they are giving up. We need to clean these cities out....once and for all. If they don’t want to live in America, send them back to the jungles.
This all this ignores is, those people who are in those cities vote also.
Every single one of them.
we need to bring jobs BACK to America. Because if we continue sending jobs overseas, we will destroy our country.
Stop sending jobs overseas, and bring back the USA.
Now.
That’s my thinking, too.

Gosh and golly gee. All run by democrats. The solution by the voters? MORE democrat control! Yeah, that’ll fix things.
The thing that jumps out at me is they point to three specificities “Wall Street” “Google and Facebook” “W.D.C.”. But in and surrounding those “things” are exactly what is everywhere else.
Describe 12 AMERICAN cities as “hellholes” and compare them to “WALL STREET” “GOOGLE and FACEBOOK” and “the FED in D.C.”
Yeah. Whatever.
“WALL STREET” “FACEBOOK and GOOGLE” and the “FED. in D.C.” are the true hellholes.
And may they burn in HELL.
ALL OF THEM! And they have been DemocRAT controlled for a very long time. The party of poverty and dispare.
My sentiments *exactly*, RC2. You know, I would consider it an investment in America’s future to provide these people (& I use that term *very* loosely) with a one-way ticket to the communist or third world paradise of their choice. (Think of the money we’d save on “entitlements”)
I also don’t believe that they can’t do anything. If our legal system has devolved to the point that’s true, we-the-people need to change it back, post-haste.
and they don’t just vote once
Silicon Valley has way more than google and facebook, it is the area were most brain trust in tech development occurs.
