DETROIT GOES BROKE

52 Years of Democratic Rule Leads to Total Ruin
Heh.
Can’t they just go to American Jewelry & Loan and hock some stuff? I’m sure Les and Seth will give them a good deal...
GOOD ONE! ;)
Actually, it will typically be a collaboration between the Emergency Appointee of the Governor and the bankruptcy judge. And the unions are indeed screaming...and I could see Obama trying to butt in as he did unlegally on the General Motors and Chrysler bankruptcy filings.
Harrisburg PA, also bankrupt, is going that route. A mayor bought a lot of Wild West stuff in the hopes of building a lot of city-run museums.
Well, the city itself has been morally bankrupt for some time, so it’s only fitting that it is now monetarily bankrupt now too..
Detroit looks like a war zone. I have passed through Detroit
3 times in the last three years going into Canada. That broke
city looks like a war zone.
Les will say "owning Detroit, how cool would that be." He'll then make a low-ball offer of $35 for the city.
Seth will get all irate and say something like "Les, don't be stupid. We'll never be able to make any money with a piece of crap like Detroit."
Ashley will start yelling at Seth, and the whole deal will fall apart.
What took so long?
Harrisburg, PA is less than 1/10 the size of Detroit.
This is BIG news.
Les and Seth will be bugging out for Lapeer once the Detroit Cops figure out what this means to their pension and benefit packages.
all da white crackahs took da ben franklins and moved out. its fine they gone but they shoulda kept da money here. guess dey lef when we was sleepin or we woulda just tookt from dem...
It’s a sad day for the city of Stockton. They can no longer say,”We’re number one!”
WELL, I HAVE SEEN A BIT OF DETROIT ON GOOGLE MAPS—AND YOU HAVE BLOCKS AND BLOCKS THAT ARE EMPTY LOTS. SOME AREAS LOOK LIKE FIELDS WITH A HOUSE HERE AN A HOUSE THERE. IT WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE FOR HOMESTEADERS—BUT I DON’T THINK THE GOVERNMENT WOULD ALLOW THAT. I DON’T THINK THEY’D MIND IF CHICAGO NY AND LA & PHILLY WENT THE SAME WAY.
So who gets the Red Wings?
Hate to say it
Sound like SOuth Park Joke
ROFL that good one
