@starlight1946 All thosse companies who moved to third world countries where the labour is cheap ought to have remembered the workers and communities that BUILT their companies. It's the same here in Canada - NAFTA was a big mistake on our part, too, and there's a lot of folks are getting their dinners from soup kitchens and food banks as a result.

@JDL9615 must it have been miserable? could it have been preferable to them?
Most of these aren't hoboes, I'm old enough to have known some. Hoboes weren't bums or homeless, they were migrants, just like the caravans of central Asia. Good song though
