After Julianne has told Michael and Jenni about how the grift of economic development works, Michael tells Jenni and Julia about what happened to the town he grew up in - Guymon, Oklahoma - after the town created economic development deals with WalMart and Seaboard Farms.
Small towns can't remain small towns when multinational corporations come in. Multinational corporations care about their bottom line - not about the health of the community.
How would any town be bettered by shutting mom and pop enterprises out of competition with a multinational corporations? Town kids could grow up and work at businesses run by members of the community. Town money then stays in the town, promoting the town's values and not a large employer's.

The Grift Of Economic Development; Making small towns corporate towns - Julianne Romanello
In this clip from our podcast of 8/14/24, Julianne talks about the real 'end game' for the grift of economic development. Does it really help create jobs? Yes, while it's simultaneously degenerating everything about the small town it claimed it would 'help'.
As so many of us have learned subsequent to the plandemic, to everything there is a scheme. In the case of economic development, it's for the people at the top to get a pay check while plugging the 'have nots' into WalMart greeter type jobs as the mom and pop stores go away. In the end, the small town will falter only to be taken under the wings of the larger, greener, plugged in, tyrannical big city so that all can be funneled into the one world government model.
