I get tired of all the finger pointing, democrat, republican ethipoian, whodunnit when BS....Detroit has simply got what all the rest of OUR citys has, Industrial flight for cheap labor....how many factorys you guys go to everyday and see the MACHINES replacing jobs, Robots and modernization always cuts jobs, factorys may hire some guys to stand by the machine and make sure it runs smoothly, most dont do anything except insert and remove stock and parts...cheap labor, right back to the 1920s priced labor,
and Right to work for less has made the North the bad guys with the Unions and seen many plants move south, for good or bad, thousands have moved away from Detroit too, cant blame people when you drive thru there and see the factorys abandoned, plants crumbling, towns and neighborhoods stripped and burnt....
Crime, Gangs, and Violence, drug use, high drop out rates, face it the citys a mess, and somebody needs to stand up and say to the people of that city if your gonna tear down your own, how can we respect you....black, white, yellow, red, immigrant, whatever you have to have some pride and respect and that doesnt mean being in a gang and dealing drugs to eat, Too many takers and not enough workers...but taking workers pensions is wrong, they only have one life to earn that money.
No body had it as bad as the Greatest Generation, How can people act today like times are hard, those folks fought all around the world for freedom, lived thru the great depression and starved, lived thru strikes and strife, hard labor and bad conditions, yet they built that city....
People are the losers, always will be....somewhere in a small room somebodys counting the gazillions of dollars they made while the city crumbles...
