The people of Flint and Detroit have tried to reinvent themselves and the city itself, but when it comes down to it, when there are few places making things anymore here, and, an out of work manufacturer isn't really somebody who's in demand right now. They'll just either go to mexico and employ the people there...or just hire an immigrant (illegal or not) to work at some bottom basement wage.

It makes you jobless. Been there and done that. Went and found another job. Got laid off in three months. Jobless again. Found another job and have been at it 6 years.
I do feel for the people of Flint and Detroit. The cities that were build on the car industry. If you did not work for them you worked at the local 5 and dime. The big employers go so does the jobs. Shame really. The Eastern Shore of Maryland is the same way. Purdue Chicken. You are a grower or packer. Anything other than that is the local 5 and dime for a job.
