Agree completely.I am wondering why go there in the first place, especially when you have to spend your little bit of jet fuel,hire one of those beasts of cars and fill it full of that dwindling resource called gas.
Certainly JHK's description of the place is apt, though I have not been there.

People move on. Some will stay in those types of towns till the bitter end,likely because they have so little other option for various reasons, be it money, age, health etc.

As for industry,it has to make a profit or else not exist.
So the solution is...make better product that people want and can afford.
Unfortunately,at this point in time at least, the workers in those factories, businesses etc have to work for less money than their counterparts in China.
The government naturally has to cut taxes ( business and personal) to the bone.
With far less revenue the Gov't then has to cut their spending which could only be a good thing. Suggestion....start with the military and public handouts.
