    Companies left to take advantage of lower labor costs in other countries which was made worse by too little give from the unions and unchecked by the crappy state and local government who didn't provide additional incentives for them to stay.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Wait so black leadership kills cities?

    SOMEONE TELL ATLANTA

    O wait
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    And these racist blacks managed to ruin an entire city all by themselves? It couldn't have been outsourcing at all? It couldn't have been corrupt unions? It couldn't have been the fact that everyone ****** up in someway, nooooooooooooooooooo it was the white hating blacks? Give me a break guys.

    You aren't getting a break here. Can you explain exactly how outsourcing and corrupt unions effected the city? I'm not talking about the state of Michigan or the auto companies, I'm talking about the city of Detroit. Please, enlighten us.
