It’s called White Flight.

Yes, that's absolutely right. Hmmm...I wonder what caused the good, productive people to flee? Hmmm....dare we say it even here on FR?

In a big FU to Coleman Young (The Coalman) 5,000 Detroit Cops went on Workers Compensation. Psychiatric leave. Can you imagine the payout from a self-insured city? Sanitation workers, (garbage men, would work the necessary 9 months to get tenure or seniority or pass probation or whatever they called it, and then turn in a workers’ comp claim and retire with benefits for the rest of their life.
I play ball with Curtis ***** who brags about his 200,000$ payout, and full retirement from GM in Flint for his bad shoulder. ( he says “ When I lift my shoulder for the Doctor I cries real good.”
Ford workers, 10 years ago, getting 135,000$ a year to put a tool in a pickup truck and drive it out to a work crew. That was a days work.
Latest Detroit school scandal is changing grades from “F” to “C” int the records so their school won't be tagged as “under-performing”. Which would jeopardize the principles job.
I'll stop....sigh
