Detroit Finally did it...

[Gulf of Nungfienrt]

Guess Apple is going to buy out the city with their products which are exactly the same as the former model but with a different number.

Hail Apple!

It seemed so familiar, and old news, but it isn't. I pray it is not the start of a trend, but if it is, I hope that it impacts so much of the USA that it is either welfare state or fall into the pages of history.

[Myrensis]

I'm just waiting for the American Right to come and bitch about this.

It's gonna be a show, that's for sure.

The American Right's collective brain is currently short-circuited regarding Detroit, because an overwhelmingly black city elected a white man (via write-in no less) over a black Democrat, which is utterly impossible according to everything conservatives believe about how and why minorities vote.

Wait so does this mean Detroit is to be liquidated?

Read what G&D posted. Municipal bankruptcies are different than corporate ones in a number of ways, but they'll have to come up with some kind of plan that'll satisfy the judge hearing the case. I expect that will involve selling off the museum's art collection, for instance.

[Blasveck]

I blame Obama.

Clearly.

No....but its the fault of those who were fiscally irresponsible.

And the fault of the other guys for not trying to find a better solution, mind you.

But lets not play the blame game, shall we?

Meanwhile 3 of the fastest growing cities belong in Texas... im noticing a trend here...

It won't there are still plenty of more welfare cities, IMO just make them all do community service or be enlisted in the army, if they are truly able to work then they will be caught and won't be on welfare, that will be because they will all be forced into the army.

Yes sold to Canada.

No no, sold to Canada sounds more fun.

Yes sold to Canada.

There's too much crime in there for nice ol' Canada.

That a free market encourages growth while a more regulated economy restricts it? Don't expect any of the leftists on here to admit it.

Was the opposing candidate black? I don't live their and really don't pay attention to the city's politics.

Which are all liberal cities, if I'm not mistaken.

I probably am though.

And three cities growing in Texas isn't really evidence of anything.

BLAME!!! BLAME!!! BLAME!!!

If I'm not mistaken, Austin is a socially liberal city, but that doesn't necessarily mean its economically liberal.

[American Union]

Yes sold to Canada.

We should export our crime to Canada then.

It's the Midwestern version of San Jose, California.

Basically, it's the Silicon Valley of the Midwest.

[Alouite]

Yes sold to Canada.

I will buy it for a Tin Drachma, Some Argan Oil, and all of my toy cars from my childhood. Three of which were made in Detroit and two of which say Hong Kong on the Bottom, one says UK too, ah, my uncle passed those ones down to me and I loved em so much as a toddler. But hey, I'll get my own city!

Houston is one, that's liberal, Austin is liberal, San Antonio is more moderate from what I hear, I have a relative that lives there.

All socially liberal, not economically.

To be knowledge, Houston isn't much of a boomtown. Its over-dependence on the oil industry is dangerously similar to Detroit's over-dependence on the auto industry.

I have my doubts.

Though, one has to take into account the different economic conditions present within Texas compared to other cities and states. And I'm not just talking about regulations.

So making blanket statements like NC did without taking into account other factors is pretty intellectually lazy.

[American Union]

Yes sold to Canada.

No.

Because it's one of those annoying propeller hats.

Sorry man, even the government wouldn't scalp you that bad
