I think the State of Michigan is in Foreclosure. Well Michigan has the unique case of "collapse of their biggest industry by far" and was in decline for a while before everything else went to s***, IIRC.

Most Places in NWI and NEI are totally one industry towns dependent on factories making parts, making components, or making steel. NCI is totally built on the RV, mobile, and modular home industries, which also totally collapsed in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Oh, he's making fun of the handful of DePaul kids, not addressing the actual underlying concerns of large-and-growing wealth and income inequalities, disappearing economic mobility and a failing support structure for modern finance/shareholder capitalism.

Nothing Mod or Admin about it, sorry if that wasn't clear. Purely a poster who has seen a gag grow old, tired, stale, dead, fetid, putrid and finally undead. Please, for all of us, stop the pain.
