Not literally a nightmare, but it's certainly a mess, and has been for a long time.
Some years ago, a friend of mine, a terrific guy who had his pick of cushy private-sector jobs, moved to Detroit to become the superintendent of the public school system there. What a thankless job. To his credit, I think that he knew it going in, but did it anyway.

Where are all the small government faithful? Detroit is your dream come true!
Oh, wait, I know it's not this-or-that and liberal some-other-thing.
Uh huh. Move to Detroit and your small government dreams come true.
are you suggesting that small government types caused this?
Ugh. Here we go. Before you get your panties in a bunch, no. We all know your BS tactics.
let me get this right wrote:-raise taxes on corporations and people. unionize services like teachers, police, fire, construction, etc. and, therefore, overpay and get poorer performance. give the benefit of the doubt to the criminals, not the victims. spend, spend, spend. call anyone a racist who thinks this policy is bad. blame corporations and people for moving out of the city.
it's amazing to me that any tax paying adult would vote for these policies.
good luck detroit. you got what you deserved.
Wait a minute! They got your beloved small government! It's powerless!!! It's ineffectual!!! YOU ARE FREE in DETROIT. There it is right there in the good old U.S. of A. and you won't move there an enjoy your shan-gri-la.
What am I missing?
watched the entire video. I laughed when I saw Cosby there obviously before crap hit the fan in a later year. I guess he was hunting for more victims to drug and rape.

You're missing the fact that liberals have had and still do have free reign over Detroit for the last 60 years. When businesses started to leave en masse the idiot politician's only idea was to RAISE TAXES MORE and drive out whoever was left. Detroit went from the greatest manufacturing city in the world to a dump, failed liberal policies are every bit to blame, and libs owe the Detroit transplants in their areas an apology for ruining for ruining their home city.
No more posts until you learn the definition and proper usage of "literally."

blacks ruin everything!
Black lives matter!
(see non-cop caused murder stats from Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Memphis, Chicago to confirm)

This is racist nonsense and you are just stirring the pot. The video is over 3 years old and done by the discredited "journalist" Dan Rather. Mayors Kwame Kilpatrick, later succeeded by b-baller Dave Bing, turned things around. Motown is no Go-town for our nation's manufacturers.
Why is everyone getting so worked up if it's literally just a nightmare?
the comments here are like what you would see on a kkk message board
yeah, it's called Letsrun

I live in Atlanta. Like any big city, it has its problems.
But overall, it is extremely well-run. There is tremendous partnership between the black politicians who run the government and the thriving business community. That business community is multi-racial.
Heck, we run things so well here we even made money off of the Olympics.

Why is it racist to acknowledge that inner-city black culture is in complete meltdown? I think it is more racist to blame white racism for how they live and behave.
No one was calling you or anyone that acknowledged your false fact racist
I really don't think Black Culture is a "complete meltdown", being in an environment like Detroit where people of all races are deprived of a lot of opportunities and the influence there isn't the same as in other areas has to be taken into consideration and you definitely can't look at an examples like Detroit and compare it to the black culture across the whole country
No one was blaming white racism, you literally just made all this up by yourself
In 1957 when Detroit was at its zenith, Ayn Rand published Atlas Shrugged where she described the decaying state of the automotive industry in Michigan and showed how liberal socialist policies destroyed it. A bold statement to make when it seemed the automotive gravy train would go on forever.
Detroit has become exactly the kind of place she described in the book, and it became a mess in exactly the way she predicted it would. I used to think Atlas Shrugged was fiction. It isn't. It was a history book written before the events occurred... and it's more accurate than many history books written after the events occurred.
Socialism does not produce, it only consumes. And when a society runs out of wealth to plunder, then those left behind fight among themselves for the crumbs... with no idea what happened to all the wealth or how to regain it.
Big government socialists, what a pitiful bunch of people.

Big government socialists and liberals. What a bunch of pitiful people. You guys don't know how good you had it and you are ruining it for everyone. Your ideas don't work. You can't keep taxing and taxing the hardworkers while they lazy get a free ride. This is always going to end bad.
If is literally a nightmare than it is just your imagination.
Wake up and it will be better.

She was also a supposed expert on cancer, claiming cigarettes didn't cause it.
Then she died of lung cancer.
What a genius.
