If your reality is shuttered factories, what difference does the reality in another county make?

It's more than that though. By every measure things around me in Virginia are very strong economically, yet there are many people and people who have good jobs, that are convinced things are horrible. There really aren't that many people who are out of work due to factories closing. But for some reason, there are millions who feel their life is affected by factories closing.
