We Will Rock You!

People are warning the poor misguided demonstrators; people they see as having no idea why they are on the streets but who are always happy to break something may end up destroying the city! Ok, a few windows have been smashed and a building or two burnt, but just how worse off is the city? Well according to a recent WAVE study poor children in Baltimore are about as well off as children in Nigeria if that gives you an idea of what the city was like before these "riots" broke out. This has worked out well though for John Hopkins University as it needs a steady supply of cheap labor to run the cafeteria and maintain the campus for their more privileged students
Don't worry though they occasionally mention feeling bad for them in their sociology classes. It seems strange though Baltimore would be in this kind of a condition. It's a major port city on the east coast and apparently a major manufacturing center. Oh, no let me rephrase that. It WAS a major manufacturing center. So what happened? Well according to Wikipedia the factories left and the city went into a six-decade spiral of decline.
 So its the same old story. Massive joblessness leading to stunted social mobility, leading to hopelessness, leading to desperation leading to crime, etc.  Not to worry though Baltimore has experienced a revitalization now that it has transitioned into a "service economy!" So the waterfront real estate is doing just fine, the University is doing just fine, the rest of the city well see Nigeria. In summation if you're worried about a few rocks destroying Baltimore you probably need to pick up a few books on neo-liberal economics
