Paper Summary:
This paper talks about what happened in Flint, Michigan, how they tried to fix it, how it affected the people who lived there, and includes a comparison of Flint with the writer's hometown. This paper references the movie, "Roger & Me", which was made to show the rest of America how bad it was in Flint, Michigan, during this time.From the Paper:
"In the 1980's many large businesses and corporations eliminated millions of American jobs, like General Motors did in Flint, Michigan. Corporations did this when they moved their business out of the northeast and to the southwest. This movement was called Sunbelt and many large businesses did it for cheaper labor. They figured why pay someone $18 an hour when you can move to the southwest and pay someone $3 an hour for the same work. This is what happened in Flint, Michigan when General Motors laid off 30,000 of their factory workers."More papers on "Roger & Me":
