I was born in Iowa City in 1937 and spent my first 13 years there. It had a population of approximately 15000 and was economically dependent on the University of Iowa. It was a idyllic place for early childhood. All that has changed.
One man's Paradise is another's Hell. The Neoliberal economic scorecard is grotesque, pitting workers all over the globe against one another. Race and class.
Waves of emigrants bring waves of employees to the workforce. Unfortunately corporations determine the bottom line, not the local community, not the local chamber of commerce, or the local, state and Fedetal government. Corporations rule the day and ots workforce are just widgets. How did it ever get so out of hand. How can we fix it. We need local representation in the board rooms and we need transparency.

Just to let you know: you can add linked footnotes in your Substack dashboard. The option is under the "More" tab at the end of the toolbar.
Great post.

A good story, unfortunately the horrible fact that it's the truth of what the capitalists are doing not only to this country but the world.
