Trenton Makes The World Takes. This was filmed back when there were jobs available which could sustain families. We no longer have that since we subcontracted our manufacturing heavy-lifting to other points on the globe. Not far from downtown Trenton, my grandmother worked at GM's Fisher Body plant on Parkway Ave. in Ewing Township while my father, two uncles and grandfather worked at US Steel's new plant in Falls Township, Pennsylvania. The area was thriving.

It's call corporate greed shipping jobs overseas. The ponzi scheme known as suburbia. Destruction of the working class. AKA "Conservative Ideals".

Why does the Trenton of the past look more like a city of the future?
