It is loosely defined and I disagree with including the Northeast in that definition. Webster's doesn't control the English language, it isn't the arbiter of any definition let alone the one for "Rust Belt"
Hell it isnt even a complete list of all English words and does not claim to be nor could be because English is an extremely organic language actually. Really interesting stuff if you care to look into it.
I explained exactly why I think Rust Belt should be the midwest in an earlier post and I dont think my opinion was unreasonable.
So yeah, I dont like that definition, and LOL I am allowed to say so.
