Lima, Ohio: A portrait of not getting by in the Rust Belt

Poor people should move to where the jobs are.  And don't give me the BS line that people are too poor to move.

People are too poor to move.

German efficiency with Bangladeshi wages, enforced with brutality... the dream of plutocrats. It's been tried -- in Germany.  Nazi Germany, that is, and the brutal order for workers is not so infamous as the genocide and aggressive warfare that killed millions.

Also, Nazi Germany was the first place with so-called "right-to-work" laws.

It's still amazing to me how people in Ohio think that a quarter black population constitutes some sort of negro ghetto. A quarter black here is a mass affluent McMansion suburb.

There's people in northern Kentucky who think Newport is mostly black. It's only 8% black.

Also, outside of Newport, Campbell County is so thoroughly white that things split more on economic lines than racial lines. If a place closes down or something bad happens, it's usually the poor (regardless of race) who are scapegoated and targeted by right-wing hate speech.
