Should Detroit get a bail out?

Good post. Reality sucks.

I expect somehow they will get weaseled out of their defunct situation.  I don't agree with it.  I know if I did the same thing I would be up a creek without a paddle, and wouldn't want it to be any other way.  Still, things need to change, all the while the general public is voting in loosers way too often and getting what they voted for in doing so.

I've heard of the crappy union workers in Detroit. I've seen some of them transplant into our company years ago, then get booted. I'm not sure what the mentality is with those workers. Most other people from other states in the company have harder work ethics than the local workers. All in all, they reap what they sow. The city was mismanaged too long and the tax paying industries left years ago. I'll be back there this week, but IMO, it will be years before anything comes back to Detroit. It's funny to watch movies like RoboCop and see that what they show in that movie is actually true. Corruption and bankruptcy in the future, LOL

Reminds me of Kentucky Fried Movie where the bad guy, Doctor Klahn says:


Dr. Klahn: The CIA thinks they can infiltrate the Mountain of Dr. Klahn!

CIA Agent: You can't scare me, you slant-eyed yellow bastard.

Dr. Klahn: Take him to... Detroit!

CIA Agent: No! No, not Detroit! No! No, please! Anything but that! No! No!
