41. These cities represent what happens when a nation lets
its businesses and industries disappear.

Since the 70's (Reagan Era), USA capitalists and corporatists have been seeking to drive down wages and destroy unions. One way to do this is just move the businesses off shore.

When a city or region loses its job base cities like Cleveland, Toledo, Flint are the result.

A nation going backwards.
