about

This tune could not have been written if it were not for NAFTA.

This is a lament about the shutting down of textile production in the United States of North America. On the bright side, the outsourcing of virtually all manufacturing of anything worth making does have the potential of eliminating that old problem of "alienated labor".

If you can't even sell your labor as a commodity, then at least the fruits of your labor can't be stolen from you. Maybe people will have to start producing things for themselves again. Meanwhile, the old image of a "ghost town" is becoming relevant as we think about "ghost states", like Michigan and Ohio. If outsourcing continues unabated, we might eventually find ourselves living in a "ghost country".
