YouTubeMy usual answer is to promote economic literacy as well as point out the connections between people's outrage and pain to political campaign contributions relative to the extraction of wealth from our communities, both urban and rural. To do this I started learning myself that the way things are, are not in any way inevitable or really even the policies which are in the best intersts of our population as defined by our communities and land, not based upon corporate bonuses. The corporate interests are either determined by the structural fraud of banks determining which companies become the winners and in effect whose pocket get filled at whose expense. It seems that people need to be in serious pain before the narcosis of the econo-fairytales wears off such that they are even ready to listen to any information explaining why the financialized(aka casino) economy has run its course. For instance it is possible and even intelligent to have a full employment policy for every one who can and wants to be productive, if it is not limited to the company town model of monetary scarcity. And historically we have plenty of examples of those sort of situations in Ohio's history, from the coal mining areas, to the timber/pulp, iron, brick, and glass making areas, and more.
