Detroit wasn't destroyed by globalization.

Detroit was destroyed by a decadent culture and corrupt, bureaucratic government that made it incapable of competing even with other cities in the U.S.

Curious that Detroit would be the only major city suffering its fate if the problem was one of decadent culture and corrupt government that the whole country shares.

The hell is wasn’t. Detroit died the day NAFTA and GATT were signed into law, and the lobbyists for the big three were the largest contributors.

For every one of those jobs lost, seven other jobs down the food chain went with them. No sector was spared, in lncluding your beloved financial sector. Now it is an industrial wasteland, being repopulated with illegals and muslims.
