Why thank you for that massive generalization...my father has a bachelor's degree in economics. He was laid off from Norwood multiple times. Then GM shut the plant down. Luckily he was able to transfer up the highway to Delphi, but look what happened there...

Oh yes. He worked hard all right. So hard that it sent him to the hospital twice. Yet he still ended up having to take early retirement earlier than he wanted to.

And Scott's right, Dayton is going to go into economic crisis mode the minute Moraine is shut down. Do you remember what happened to Norwood when GM shut that plant down?
