The third lesson is moral. Detroit’s institutions have long been marked by corruption, venality, and self-serving. Healthy societies have high levels of trust. Who trusts Detroit? This is not angels-dancing-on-the-head-of-a-pin stuff. People do not invest in firms, industries, cities, or countries they do not trust. Corruption makes people poor.

Nathan Bedford's first Maxim of American politics: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.

This entire article declines to discuss the elephant in the room.

He sure did a tap dance around the issue of the third-world mentality that accompanies the takeover of cities by tribals.

They run them just like Indian reservations. Corruption is merely a symptom of the tribal takeover, not a cause.

Some of you have probably been removed from the Michigan pinglist by accident, if you don't get a ping that you should be getting let me know. I had an unexpected computer reformat last night and didn't get a chance to back everything up.

Detroit is what liberalism’s end-game looks like.

A ready made tagline...

Detroit neighborhoods are a jungle and wherever those people go from there they’ll take it with them.

I was born in Dearborn in 1953. My father worked for Ford Company for a number of years. We lived in various places in the Detroit area before being dragged down to Miami, Florida by my father in 1963. Four years later were the detroit riots. But I remember that as a kid I really LIKED living in Michigan, and that the countryside was beautiful. In third grade we took a field trip to Ford and saw the factories, among them the steel mills.

Looking at pictures of the ruins, it makes me want to cry for all the reuined beautiful buildings and for how great that city once was.
