The leaders of Detroit are still blaming whitey
I know they need a scapegoat but it happened all over the rust belt...
Unions and attendant pension plans locked horns with intractable and unimaginative management and engaged in a death spiral while nimbler economies elsewhere adjusted and overcame.
Took a while for the beast to die but when the ox quit breathing the ticks and lice and stomach worms soon ran out of flesh.
No amount of empirical evidence will ever change a ‘progressives’ mind about their idiotic, unworkable world views and policies. Detroit should be a case study of what NOT to do, but instead it will be roundly ignored by the greedy liberals and repeated everywhere they can get away with it.
The reason is, they get to control the cash flow in a “blue” city and that means they can make themselves rich through backroom deals and other shady practices. The city comes last. The liberal politicians and their liberal co-conspirators come first and foremost.
Let alone the list of black Mayors of Detroit for the last 30 yrs, all one has to think of is Pols like Torricelli and Rod Blagojevich on how egregious the corruption has gotten, and those are just an example of a couple that got caught. It’s everywhere that democrats have been able to set up shop and take complete control.
Dems are always the most corrupt but whitey and Republicans always get all the blame. Detroit has had no Republican or whitey involvement so that dog won’t hunt here and so this will be ignored by the establishment media. It’s the same scenario Obama’s trying to set up to all of America.
Nice to see ya’ again GeronL.
Decades after achieving "independence", the leaders of Zimbabwe and South Africa are still blaming whitey, too.
