So they built a factory there in 1940. How many tanks have they produced in the last, say, 50 years?
Hermod, I am not talking about military installations. I am talking about the very profitable business of producing munitions, tanks, airplanes, bombs, mines, rockets, warheads and ships.
That's interesting, but still has little bearing on what I'm talking about.
You're reaching for a rationale here when it's right in front of you: Southern states, by and large, never have more than 10 percent of their work force organized. In the north, it's generally 15 percent to 20 percent [[Michigan is a 20 percenter) organized.
After Detroit's union labor helped win the war for the United States government, the U.S. turned right around and said, "Let's never let THAT happen again." They started a program of industrial dispersal [[the rationale for that was that too many factories too close together were too good a target for nuclear attack) and started sluicing money to military contractors in more conservative states.
Was the visibility a little better? Sure. In fact, forget everything I've pointed out, about the government, the military, labor trends and the historical record. You said it was visibility and flying days? I'm sure that was all there was too it. No need to dig any further.
