What are you talking about? There haven't been factories in the Ironbound for decades and no, deindustrialization did not lead to better wages in other industries for the majority of the working class.

The patrons of this 7/11 are largely poor people. In Silva's eyes the "wrong" kind of people, which is why he is so happy it's closing. Don't get me wrong. I don't love 7/11 but this is clearly an attempt to get poor people to stop hanging out on that corner. Not everything needs to be a cocktail lounge. Poor people need a place to buy things too.
