[Alberta's Child]

I'll post two images that illustrate the decline in urban industrial centers perfectly:

The top image is an old RCA manufacturing plant that was built before 1910 in New Jersey.

The bottom image is the new/expanded Toyota plant in Alabama.

By the 1920s, most of the industrial buildings in the U.S. that were more than 10-15 years old were obsolete. They were not rendered obsolete by outsourcing, or "free trade," or anything of that sort. They became obsolete because the introduction of the assembly line made a massive, single-story building the ideal manufacturing facility -- while the old multi-story model you see in the top image had no purpose in a modern, mass-production business.

Is it even physically possible to fit a building like the Toyota plant in any large U.S. city?

OMG. The amount of industry that has been off shored is staggering. You are a real treat. Nancy Pelosi got nothing on your dementia.

We make make 1% of the TV's in the USA, the rest are imported. That is just one example. You are stupid, a liar or both.

WHY CAN'T YOU ACCEPT THE REPUBLICANS, FREE TRAITORS™ AND GLOBALISTS ON THE RIGHT DESTROYED THE USA's INDUSTRIAL BASE ON PURPOSE TO MAKE INCREASED PROFITS? JUST ADMIT IT.

After you admit the truth then we can have an honest discussion about whether OVERALL that was better for the USA and or the world. But traitors can never be honest. Worm tongues all.
