ok, you can go to many places in the USA and find businesses that are gone. I understand where your coming from. How many of them moved to better buildings in cheaper states to produce products.

I bet you have no idea. or Moved to better or more modern buildings. Not just to overseas.

I didn't cherry pick the properties I shot in this video. Most of the businesses have completely gone out of business.

This can be proven by the amount of commercial and industrial real estate vacancies throughout Pinellas county.

I encourage you to go there and see it for yourself.

Thanks for watching.

Take care,

John

nice video john, but the gov have raised tariffs on overseas stuff so will see if that brings back american companys.

[johnu78]

I think you'll see a lot of ordinary people start manufacturing things out of their homes or garages. This boom would give a whole new meaning to the term cottage industry.

Thanks for watching and take care.

I'll take a look, thank you for your work.

You too John. Videos made by people like yourself may be used a hundred years in the future when teaching children about the fall of the American empire.

I would think that storage places would see business booming with all the foreclosures. I read somewhere that the America's mafia godfather Rockefeller stated in the 1960's that de-industrialization was planned for America. This has been planned for a long time.

@Tapps47

The area he recorded has many empty buildings. You can't throw a rock in that area without hitting a for lease and/or for sale sign.

Wow, In the past, I primarily looked at the rust belt for abandoned.

Your in FLA. I'm amazed.

It is much worse in cold regions, llke Detroit. But I see now that the weather is the predictor for whether a corporation decides to move to China.

@rickbar123 Oh sure make Corporate America even stronger so they can pay Third World wages at home instead of overseas, and keep more people poor. They already run things in Washington, I don't think they need any more handouts.

[rickbar123]

We need to cut taxes for the rich, more deregulation, break more unions, cut the corporate tax rate to zero, give more tax breaks to corporations that off shore good paying jobs. Let do some more of the things that got us here.

This is not your father's deindustrialization (Japan and the Rust Belt!)

@Cstrife234 dsigned oboslence creates more jobs besides most people want a new model after 4 years or whenever the newest thing is out there so there is no reason to have cars or other things that last that long anymore. besides the level of technology of most mom & pop shops is low, I say this on the manufacturing side but retail I do prefer mom & pop. the real mafia however controls more society's & governments than you could concieve. your world view is very narrow & stifled.

[Cstrife234]

@circusboy90210 Who cares? Do we want quantity, or quality? Do we want stuff that will break just after the warantee is up, or do we want stuff that lasts 30 years? I chose the latter. I'd rather buy from ma and pa and small buisnesses. I don't give a shit about this bullshit mafia economy.

[circusboy90210]

@Cstrife234 but not nearly as good quality as a coroporation can make. the coopertive efforts of thousands of investors / workers makes somthing a small biz cannot in a million years quality wise.

[Cstrife234]

I know a lot of people lose their jobs, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Industrial progress has also polluted our waters and our air. Maybe its time that people go back to being craftsmen and open up their own small businesses. Stop buying Nike shoes. Make your own! Be hell of a lot cheaper.

That's what happens you elected President from Nixon to Obama and Congress from Nixon to Obama. Too bad the 1994 to 2006 Republican Congress failed to reduce or abolish the Corporate and Individual Income tax system instead for 3 years putting Clinton on trial.
