The Wasteland That Was St. Louis, MO

We drove down it to get from the airport to our hotel. I stuck the camera out the window. What’s fascinating is how run down this major road was for so long of a distance. I think it felt like a mile.

A bunch of my friends, gosh bless them, do war reporting and other journalism in other countries. Well this country, this mighty United States of America, needs a bunch of help all over the place.

Be sure to watch the embedded video. And keep in mind that parts of Cleveland and Detroit are even worse than this.

By the way, the flagship company of St. Louis, Anheuser-Busch InBev, is now owned by Belgians and Brazilians who have problems of their own. There is no incentive for them to help fix St. Louis. None whatsoever.

Welcome to the wages of globalization.
