Cities in the old rust belt are just not good business environments. NCR's moving was a sound decision. If the cities of the north want to flourish, and not be bulldozed into new parklands, they need to develop some sense of responsibility to the productive element of society rather than entitlement to their hoards of parasites.

Dayton whined about this move by NCR but they've never been known as particularly business-friendly.

I now live in Maryland which has it’s own set of Democrat problems, but I’m from Ohio and what I saw in cities like Akron (my hometown) as well as Cleveland, Dayton, Toledo, etc was this...

People in these cities are “down and out” and vote Dem to “help them” yet - they’ve been voting for Democrats for 100 years and look where it got them.

The definition of insanity is what? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...

“Dayton whined about this move by NCR but they’ve never been known as particularly business-friendly.”

Common sense should dictate that when a city like Dayton is threatened with the loss of a company such as NCR, which not only provides a lot of jobs but is strongly identified with the city, they should step up to the plate with a matching set of incentives to keep the company6.
