Manufacturing is not dead in the US. It is dead in Michigan because it is based not on a business model, but on a model of parasites feeding off various hosts and believing they are entitled to do so.
The people who could reverse the course have been demoralized by the greedy, selfish and unimaginative politicos and local leaders. So they leave.
The governor looks to programs such as receiving subsidies for housing other states' felons. That's her new business model.
And she wonders why she won't be governor by the time the turnaround happens.....
What a ludicrous, Kafkaesque place this is.
It's just like in the Rolling Stones' song Sympathy for the Devil:
"As every cop's a criminal,
and all the sinners saints,
as heads is tails...."
It's all gone wrong, it's all backwards and will remain so.
