“...When steel and auto jobs were shipped off to China...”
And we all know who did THAT.
BTW-I live in NE Ohio which is all about steel and auto mfg.
It was desolate here. I began my working ‘career’ about that time and the first real ‘job’ I had after college was in-sales. My boss, from Richmond Va., constantly beat me up because I couldn’t get any sales in Youngstown. So, when he visited Ohio, I took him to Youngstown and I had the Billy Joel tune ‘ALLENTOWN’ blasting on the car stereo.
Driving into Youngstown, I went past all the mills that were shut down. He finally said, ‘I get it, now’... and that’s when I told him he could get off my back!!
Cool story.
