Would it be possible* for like-minded cool duders like the guys on here to club together and move to Detroit en masse to live there and raise their tax income as a result, maybe save the city? We could do it, goons!






*I ask if it would be possible because I don't know how many of you have jobs that pay enough to make a difference (or jobs at all, given how often you're on here) or if any of you have actually lived in a ghetto-ized areas at all before and so are savvy enough to know better

frankly, it wouldn't be safe for you to set foot in detroit because the residents all have highly-developed bitchmade senses and would reduce you to a stain on the pavement within seconds of you crossing the city limits

Yeah, and pretty much anyone with a marketable skill that makes them employable left to go elsewhere. If the city were populated with honor students, you'd have tech companies and all kinds of businesses moving in. Maybe if lil Detravious III had been to school past the age of 8 instead of running around the streets because his moms don't give a gently caress, these companies would see the attraction in investing there; that they don't isn't the fault of the companies.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.

They should start taking the backlogged bills out of their govt. aid much like real Americans can get wage garnished for not paying income tax. Is that money State or Federal? If both the water and the welfare come from the same place, it should be easy to get their money. When they complain about not having any money left for food you can say well you got all the water you can drink.

Water is free, just dont live somewhere it costs money if you cant afford to pay for it.

Anyways, capitalism will go to whoever works the hardest, and obviously the population of detroit has lost a certain 'quality' because the free market is taking it's business elsewhere.

The buzzing of the perimeter alarm caused me to jolt upright. The infrared cameras showed 3 warm bodies.

I could see some movement in the distance so I lifted my "digicam zombie response unit" AR-15 and took aim. I had placed "no trespassing" signs throughout the border of my property, these sub-human monkeys chose to enter private property and were an eminent threat to my life. I aimed for the chest so as not to humanize my targets. 3 shots later I muttered, "loving Obama" and my work was done.

Do you have any idea how much it must cost to make water in that city drinkable? Not to mention the logistics of water transport. How is it racist to think companies should be paid for their service?

What about cable TV? is it racist to expect TV companies to be paid? What about electricity companies?

I was considering making a "disease is good for the population much like a wildfire is good for a forest" analogy but instead I will just say rich people are bad and the UN has a great track record for fixing this kind of problem in short order so basically I hope they roll some big UN APCs up to the city hall in detroit and turn it into the socialist utopia we all know is entirely possible because no one in their heart of hearts is influenced by having more things than their neighbor and we can live together in harmony if we just hold hands and sing songs

alternatively, they could not cut off water to poor people, which if you want to look at it from a cost-benefit analysis is cheaper than treating rampaging outbreaks of ebola, cholera, and typhoid
