37. what factories in your hometown have gone into wartime production
for anything needed to support the military? Ask anyone from WWII era that lived in a city.....it was damned noisy. Every factory line that could be converted to military production was converted. People picked up scrap metal to be used, many things were rationed for the good of the troops. There was work to be done that did rally the people. Is that all Halliburton now? OUr industrial cities are dying and none of those empty factories and innumerable unemployed factory workers can help? What's wrong with this picture?
