Rochester NY is a crumbling blue-state city which survives on welfare and government, which reached its peak in 1950. Its downtown is hollow and is surrounded on 3 sides by government housing projects and ghettos.

Lovely Warren, Rochester’s Demonicrat mayor since 2014, will deal with the problem... any time now.

Rochester, NY, was still strong in the 1980s when I took a job at Kodak. It was still doing well up until 2000, when the offshoring of jobs started. Kodak started moving jobs to China. I knew several people who were given a choice: train the Chinese worker who would take over their job and the US employee would get a nice severance package. As the profit margin fell, layoffs were more common. I remember having two rounds per year for a couple of years. Severance packages were trimmed down. Happily, I made it to 30 years and a full pension. Many more did not make it.

I still remember the "all hands" meeting in the large auditorium where the CEO at the time, Antonio Perez, was describing the changes. The execs still had a corporate jet. (I got to fly to a conference once with a VP). The jet became a symbol of unwillingness to cut executive perks. In the meeting, Perez told us they sold the jet. He said, "I know you want to applaud". It was the only standing ovation he ever got.

I worked in consulting for a period. in 2006, I was tangentially part of a team that worked with a manufacturer of speciality chips-sets and circuit boards, for military and various industrial uses.

When I actually visited the factory in New England, there were already 40 Chinese workers on site - literally being trained by the small-town, mostly middle-aged Americans at the plant - to take over when the production lines were packed up and shipped to China. It blew my mind.

What most shocked me was how gracious, friendly and generous these American factory workers were to the young Chinese who were there to take their livelihood (to be fair, the Chinese also were very polite and had no idea of the greater import of the situation). I was also blown away how responsible these Americans remained to these tasks at hand, and especially to the company management who were putting them on the street!

Maybe I’m a cynic, but I’m pretty sure anywhere else in the world, the workers would be protesting, destroying machinery or quietly throwing sand in the gears to sabotage the whole operation. And I thought, maybe they should….

My respect, and deep concern for, “fly over” Americans grew about 1000% those few days and the scales about America’s globalist “deep state” really started to fall from my eyes.
