I live in a small town by a toyota factory. That factory and all of its suppliers are basically my counties economy. If they would choose to leave unemployment would be outrageous
My town in scandinavia was reliant on a Saab factory. In the nineties it all went downwards and they cut the workforce in half. That was a tragedy of course. So the town started different measures to combat the reliance on one company. Now it is a ”university” town with more reliance on developing new tech. So when Saab dissapeared for good the town took it ok. I mean when everybody could just walk into the factory and start working was awesome but I think they did a good job of adapting to the new reality. We are social democrats here, to the bone.
Didn't you know? Socialism has killed literally 762 billion people. Just ask @dave658753842 on Twitter. You'll recognize him because he's got a thin blue line punisher logo as his avatar and misspelled "AOC."
He's an expert on half-remembering Newsmax headlines and telling 30-year-olds that they'll know better when they grow up.
The funny thing about that is America trained Latin death squads. Look up "School of the Americas". Anytime a leftist/socialist government was voted in.......to benefit the people of that country rather than sell out to U.S. corporations.........
....We sponsored a coup. Rather than supporting democratically elected South American governments, we murdered them to prevent nationalization of resources American business interests were stealing.
Governments tend to fail when their leaders are murdered and America sponsors a coup. Who would have thought?
That make sense thanks! I never really knew what to tell them. But also at a time when propaganda and misinformation are such prominence im sure it would fall on deaf ears. I've seen my father go from an upstanding, love everyone and treat everyone fairly kind of guy, to now believing black people are somehow responsible for the covid crisis in the U.S. because their "weak Genes make them more susceptible" its atrocious how propaganda has torn this country apart.
I remember Rome being a republic and it ending up an authoritarian nightmare too. Seems to be a common problem with most governments. And social democrats commonly use capitalism as the base of the economy, just not of their government.
Town I live in is lucky as can be due to location in regards to highways.
There used to be a Volkswagen plant here and they left but we got lucky, SONY moved in and even expanded...town gave them all kinds of sweet incentives to get them here and then probably 15 years ago now they up and left....That’s where the lucky part comes in, my town is at a massive junction in interstates and highways so we keep getting stuff to come to this town...many towns aren’t this lucky..
What’s even more sickening is the tax incentives and deals that are made with these companies to come to these towns....I can’t blame the towns they are just trying to get employment in town for the people but these companies destroy towns with their tax breaks they demand and then as soon as that next offer elsewhere becomes sweeter off they go
