for fucking capitalist you sure don't think capitalism is very powerful
It's all about slave labor, it's the core of right wing ideology. They could care less about this country or upward social mobility, community or American society. Their plan is to bring the U.S. down to 3rd world status and become feudal lords.
When capitalists take away the ability of people to make a living then capitalism has failed. Not because capitalism is bad but because it is run by greedy, internationalists who don't give a shit about a country, they only care about getting more profit for less pay. They would take us back to the old south if they could.
Why do people like SF believe people should starve and the left is responsible? Hate. They are full of hate, instilled by 30 yrs of right wing propaganda. If they knew a little history they'd realize that the best this country ever was, was because of things like the G.I. bill, child labor laws, unions that give workers fair wages and power in the work place, and these policies were forced down these same industrialists throats after WWII.
Bottom line... what's good for Americans is bad for Republicons and they realize it. That's why they 'play stupid'.
How about you show us where it is I stated people should starve or that the left was responsible for starving people?
Or is that just some of your hate filled propaganda? Meant to demonize me because you cannot refute what I have actually stated?
You take away someone's job, that person has no money, that person can't feed his kids. That equals hunger and that equals a failure of your beloved international capitalism. Do I really have to explain this to a smart guy like you?
do you know what MO town stands for?

What would you argue for in capitalisms place? From what I've seen capitalism has brought millions and millions of people out of poverty around the globe and I've seen no other economic system come close to that.
How did the market change and the CEOs didn't?(and don't get all snarky, I understand market dynamics and it's one of the many tea leaves management has to read in order to stay in business. And the auto industry has stayed in business for about a century in Detroit) And as far as them not giving a "rat's ass about real peoples lives over money", you may be right, but for a long time when those UAW bosses said "jump", the company men replied "how high?". Sooner or later, the gravy train runs out of track.The CEOs killed it by so very badly refusing to change with the market.
that is what happens when you a one industry town and expect the CEOs to give a rats ass about real peoples lives over money
The prevalence of imported cars on the road has nothing to do with the decline of Detroit?
Only the Mayor could have altered the course of industrial development and consumer preference?
You make me laugh. Too bad because I respect you deeply and yet then you say these remarkably stupid things.
hey fucking idiot
why you playing stupid?
WHO controlled the INCOME of the vast majority of workers in the city/
assholes who cared NOTHING about the city or its people.
They cashed in instead fo building the corp into the future and then retired elsewhere saying fuck you mo town
Capitalism must be controlled by Govt. Not the other way around like we have today. When govt is controlled by capitalists, workers become slaves, the middle class disappears, poverty increases and wealth becomes more intrenched in govt and more powerful than 'the people.' Sound familiar? It should because it's the path we're on.
Actually Damo Apple is the real reason behind Detroit going bankrupt.

the Detroit auto industry does not run Detroit.....the elected officials of Detroit ran Detroit (up until a receiver was appointed, anyway)......
lmao... so when you lose income, do you keep spending as if you had not?
Show us your data... how many jobs have they lost in Detroit in the last decade? How much income did they lose from taxation of those jobs?
Detroit. Chicago. Unions and pensions. No give. So, bankruptcy. Good thing for Michigan, generally healthy state. Bad thing for IL, worse shape than Chicago.
