RE: Small town Australia: Ignore them and they will go away, forever.

Yeah. Whyalla almost died, literally overnight. I guess the constant drive for better profits takes its toll. A good thing Gupta came along. Whyalla’s future looks set for years to come. Time will tell I suppose.

Sort:  

It's sad for all the towns that didn't have a Gupta come and save the day.

Even in the larger cities there's been some industries disappear, and people that have been doing the same job for 20-30 years, have no other skills, and up shit out of luck.
