@kingwilliam14 You're kidding right? Ford has over 200,000 workers in 90 factories. Detroit is not in it's situation because people aren't buying american. Detroit, and every factory town in America, is where it is because lawmakers removed tariffs from 70% of imports and relaxed the remaining 30% to the lowest percentage it's been since tariffs were introduced.
If you buy american cars, you only support greedy corporations who have spent the last 30 years gutting the american economy.
@kingwilliam14 The whole "buy american, save detroit" angle that we're sold is just a clever marketing tactic to sell more "american" cars that are built overseas. Even if every car anyone purchased was an american brand, most of them would still be built overseas simply because it's cheaper to do and american capitalism requires perpetual profit growth to sustain itself. To fix Detroit, lawmakers need to repeal free trade agreements and make importing here more expensive than producing here.
@negatyve While I somewhat agree with that, capitalism is not really to blame. Capitalism doesn't mean that corporations and the law makers work together to benefit each other (if anything, that's communism, which is where the government has control over the corporations). Real capitalism is when the market and the government remain separate, and everyone is responsible for their own success. This means that if a company fails, then it is the company's own fault.
Detroit is so bad because it became the lightning rod of the economic depression...it's been abandoned and forgotten by it's own nation... Let's save Detroit
Ya'll need to quit.....with the same old decay picturers that everybody and their grandmother uses in their videos of the city.....seriously do you honestly think the entire city looks this way? Sure Detroit has its problems but so does the rest of the country and if you dont think what you see in this video is not an indication of whats soon to come to your Mayberry Town? ...keep living. If u hav no solution... u are a problem. Check out DAAS video so first class and motivating.
I LOVE DETROIT! A MUCH BETTER VIDEO DONE BY THE STUDENTS FROM DAAS, CHECK IT OUT IT'S GONE VIRAL. IT WILL BE DONE LIVE TONIGHT ON THE NFL, MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALLS HALFTIME. MAKES OUR CITY PROUD TO HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE TAKING PART IN SUCH A GREAT MOMENT!
@hardcorepride4life if your user name only fit your spirit and soul. It takes a soulless person to think that shit if funny! Detroit has had hard times like any other big city but since we are the capitol of automotive industry when the pantsgo down do to economy it hits us hard! Take a look at the Empire State Of Mind done by the DAAS, stark contrast to this old video, it was just made. Shows what a great city Detroit is and how we recover from anything! Your words are baseless. Go Lions!
I feel bad for the gal that sings the chorus, she has a pretty voice, it's too bad she's trapped in this crap. There are many great Detroiters, you should try and emulate these fine people. To those that created this video - perhaps you could spend less time complaining and a bit more time helping rebuild the city???
bullshit, this vid consists 50 abandoned homes, what 'bout all the great neighborhoods? Downtown? Riverwalk? Midtown? I love my city and I'll never move away, by the fact, I even got five relatives from Norway ( in Europe ) that will move over next year :) hope this town can see better days one day..
i love my city ill be here till i die i plan to give back detroit will be on top of its game when i get about 30 im 16 now so thats a good ways to go but im working on it now lol
Detroit is the home of all my favorite emcee's. Even though I hate marshal that dudesis wack, but Elzhi, Black milk, Phatkat, and of course I can't forget Dilla, but fuck U Homie for disrespcting Cali !!!!!!!!!
Have you even been to detroit? I agree with @MOTROIT you are one of the morons. There are a lot of people in Detroit who are trying to make things better. Detroit is a beautiful city. So instead of being negative come to Detroit and volunteer and visit.
Ever even been to Detroit or are you one of the morons that jumped on hate train? How about you stop making stupid videos and go volunteer your time to an effort!
Don't buy foreign. Buy American, and Detroit will fix itself
