To me at least, the term tells you what was happening in Youngstown, Milwaukee, and Detroit in the 1980s. America's northern manufacturing was starting to rust.
I read it. I think it's kind of odd that we're even debating that Rust Belt is a euphemism for decline. Did you all think it was a term of endearment? lol.
