I miss the days when we had thriving manufacturing industries, with many decent, well-paying, secure jobs. Then, we went and outsourced everything to the cheapest suppliers, in third-world countries with very low wages and very lax health & safety laws...
1976 must have been one of the last few years when a picture of a factory (especially a refinery) meant "progress" and "development", not "pollution."
By the mid 80s, you just couldn't do that. You had to show vast expanses of wilderness when you talked about Ford.
The outsourcing happened because people allowed it to happen, because people believed it would be better for them that way.
One hundred million people, the most affluent in the world. Hamilton, Detroit, Sarnia, Buffalo...
