I read the copy that went with these startling pix and that is indeed exactly what they do say. It’s all the fault of “Capitalism” don’t you know, and they even manage to blatantly blame white people.
Just useless in terms of analyzing what went wrong.

The last Republican mayor, Louis Miriani, left office on January 2, 1962. I’m sure the MSM has never written about that bit of coincidence.
