Yeah. About 1/4 mile away from me is a giant empty concrete expanse bordering the Flint River where Buick City used to be...the plant employed almost 30,000 workers like 20 years ago. It closed in 99 and was torn down a couple of years ago. Something like 60k GM jobs have been lost in Flint alone in the last 10 years.
