20 Most miserable cities to live in, anyone see a pattern?

Quote from RCG Trader:

Because liberal workers do not like to exploited. They fight, the companies leave. You and your ilk are of the opinion that some bread crumbs are better than no bread crumbs.

Yeah, your ilk would prefer to steal the bread crumbs off their neighbors table and not work for it, since you guys are all a bunch of welfare babies/parasites.

Quote from Max E. Pad:

The pattern is 80% of them are liberal havens, why do you think those manufacturing plants are leaving the liberal cities at a much higher rate bozo?

Isn't it more correct to say that they are places with high numbers of poor minorities? That is not synonymous with "liberal".

And as rcg pointed out these places are being hurt by outsourcing the cheap labor.

Quote from futurecurrents:

Yup. The top 1% get richer though and that's good right?

One must remember also. The entire nation is still reeling from the economic catastrophe and housing collapse of the Bush years and will for quite some time. Poorer communities are hardest hit and take longer to recover.

There are quite a few things you need to remember as well (or need to learn in the first place). The top 1% do get richer, but everyone else benefits from cheaper products and services. Price fixing doesn't work and I could provide you tons of examples of how it blows up.

Secondly, while you can continue to blame Bush until the end of time (and probably will), unless policy is enacted to counter the effects of what caused the crisis in the first place, nothing will change. So "taking longer to recover" should be placed with "will never recover" in your sentence above.

You folks are more concerned with who caused what in the first place and less concerned with who is propagating the problem. And that's where you should be focused at this point. That is, of course, if you actually care about the people you claim you do.

Why not do a little research into how all of those 20 cities voted last election?

And you guys are all a bunch of racist bigoted dummies.

See how that works?

I see you are ignorant on a wide range of topics.

Most of these cities listed, especially those in California and Flordia, did not export jobs. They imported slave labor. Slave labor, while cheap for those paying the slave wages, becomes very expensive for the city's and state's that must pay for all that free stuff that comes along with supporting the slaves and their families. Eventually they system breaks down and you get what we're now getting. Slavery doesn't work, whether it's for cheap wages or votes. It just isn't a system that can last if you're going to give any human consideration to the slaves and their families. Now if you pay them nothing, kill them off when/if non productive, then you can build pyramids for thousands of years before the wheels come off.

Well the wealthy are doing very well. Looks like we are in danger of becoming a plutocracy.

No argument here. So what, exactly, is your guy in the White House doing about it?

1. The Pyramids were not built by slaves.

2. You do have a point about low wage labor, but again, it is about loyalty to the US and by extension an AMERICAN labor force.
