Did you see Baltimore? 40 years ago Baltimore was a major seaport, manufacturing(cars,ships,steel), food(spices) and many other wealth creating enterprises. Now it is a menagerie for the great unwashed whosen ancestors used to work in those factories.
I have to warn you, I’m a member of the proletariat, and nothing like those social misfits in Baltimore (whose situation largely is self-inflicted). In order to find people like me in order to string us up from lamp posts, or whatever, you’ll need to set up a vast internal security apparatus (luckily, most of that work is done), and some reeducation camps.
The port of baltimore continues apace, regardless of your reference to our great unwashed.
#1 US port importing automobiles,light trucks, farm and construction machinery; and imported forest products, aluminum, and sugar. The Port is second in coal exports.
