  1. Steel made Gary. So you can't tell Gary's story without talking about steel at the same time.

  2.  @neilforbes416  how steel is made has a lot to do with what happened to Gary. Everything really. Gary was founded to make steel. But as the process changed it had an impact on the city.

  3. Good old American steel is a nicer product than that foreign crap. So why shouldn't US workers receive a higher wage?

  5.  @todaysuniverse  why not just make minimum wage $100 an hour? I'm sure everyone deserves and can use it. Now what do you think would happen if we did that? How many would be out of a job tomorrow? It'd sure be a good time to get into the automation industry though. That kind of work just might be worth the wages.

  6.  @todaysuniverse  then provide services that qualify for being paid a livable wage. You make more at some jobs than others.

  7. You ever been to Linden? I think there's more chemical tanks in Linden than there are residents. I haven't been there in a long time myself but it stank to the high heavens the last time I was there. Look up Bayway refinery. It's an interesting looking landmark. Very cyberpunk.

  8. Who pays to demolish buildings? I think you'd be surprised to learn just how lucrative a business demolition really is. Read it costs a lot of money to wreck properties. Least to wreck them right. You already see the kind of job amateurs do. That's what you want to get rid of now. Hiring professionals to do a proper job is an expensive proposition.

  10.  @neilforbes416  it was mostly the loss of jobs.
