Detroit is the prime example of what 50 years of liberal Democratic welfare policies and high taxes does to a once thriving metropolis. This same time lapse would yield the same result in Camden, Philly, St. Louis, New Orleans, and every Democrat controlled urban shithole in the country. I’m sure electing Hillary or Bernie will revive Detroit and the other urban ghettos in this country.
Well, you can say that again…….not literally, of course.
I can remember the time when Detroit was the pearl of the world, the whole world aspired to become like Detroit.
Not so much any more.
I think I read that 50% of the copper has been stolen from the street lights. I believe Detroit is going to doze those homes. They expect the city to shrink by 50%.
What’s worse is Flint. Flint is also a dead? / dying city like Detroit. Routing water from the Flint River – which was untreated, and did not contain corrosion inhibitors. This leached the lead of out the old pipes – making the tap water undrinkable. The people get a bottled water ration every day.
Now the government says it will fix the problem. But consider this – half the homes (40,000) are abandon. There are no jobs. The people are just ‘stuck’ there. Do you really think they are going to dig up the service to all these homes, and perhaps replace all the indoor plumbing? It would be easier to relocate them – to Detroit?
It’s been 2 years an nothing has happened.
You can’t scare me!
Take him to Detroit!
No, no, nooo, anything but that. Nooooooooo
It’s like still footage from the Walking Dead series. Huh, maybe socialist are the political equivalent of Zombies, feeding off of production rather than flesh.
otto, the FSA is the zombie horde. The libtard SJW’s are the evil assholes who created the FSA and loosed it upon us.
We must learn how to joog the zombies in their empty heads to save ammo. Jooging is too kind a fate for the Libtards. They must be punished somehow, and the punishment must be swiftly decided but slowly administered for maximum suffering.
I watched a travel log on Amazon yesterday that was fantastic, took the viewer through all manor of homes on the coast of Italy that were built in 1100BC. I thought to myself how we build structures to last MAYBE a hundred years.
The houses in this piece were at the end of their life cycle. Minorities move into old structures at cheap rent/prices and the degeneration begins. It is our system here in the USSA.
At a library book sale, flipped through an 1960s old sociology textbooks for giggles. It predicted that by the year 2000, most Americans would live in megacities (Agenda 21 was alive and well even back then) and that Detroit would be one of the the hubs of the Midwest, with tens of millions of residents and all the modern conveniences. The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley, indeed.
I f the US secedes into a North and South Korea-South is thriving North Lil Kim people are starving eating tree bark and have resorted to eating the dead and infants.
The take aways for me are:
Entropy always wins in the end.
One of the few things uttered by the execrable tyrant A. Lincoln I can agree with: the anecdote a king sought from his advisers a universal philosophy fit for any occasion be it joyous or calamitous. Answer: “and this too shall pass…”
O.V. Most of the “Lincoln Quotes” you see online every day are fraudulent. Do a websearch for ‘fake Lincoln quotes’.
The old thief didn’t have nearly as much to say that made sense as he’s given credit for saying.
John Wilkes Booth was 4 years and 2 days late (12Apr1861-14Apr1865) to have saved American Bloodshed.
