As long ago as 1979 when business took me to Detroit (when there was still business to be done there), I was appalled to find that a Wendy's restaurant had the counter staff working behind bulletproof glass. You placed your order and it was delivered via a lazy susan-type of arrangement. That's over 30 years ago and I can only imagine how this Socialist cesspool has gotten worse since then.
Of course Michael Moore and his ilk will be quick to defend Detroit, labor unions and demonRATS.
I went to Detroit on business in the mid 1980s.
The hotel had free newspapers, and on the front page was a story about a well-know local heroin dealer who had bee found dead. On page one, the story said that speculation was that the cause of his death was switching from selling "Johnny Sunshine" brand heroin, to "Whipcracker" brand.
The whole concept of this being front-page news was alien to my thought process. But, the revelation that heroin was sold under brand names in Detroit convinced me that the entire city was gone beyond any hope of recovery.
