What happens when the largest employer in the company town shuts the warehouse or whatever town?

I guess the town shuts down, right?

No, it goes back to square one. Amazon is not literally building these towns. These towns have been there before. Then Amazon came, and made job market better. If it leaves, it won’t be worse off than it was on the first place.
Why is that a bad thing? People are smart. They’ll figure something out just like humans have done for centuries.
