[robbyjai]

wtf is this crock of shit

[youngmoneyrealist05]

how old is this video cause all this news on detroit im sure they cleanup detroit

[jmallton]

@joikeas The sad part is ......people watch these videos and think all of Detroit is in shambles....my niece lives there in a very nice neighborhood ....she has a goood job and she loves it.......I always think twice when I see a bad depiction of another city from another country.....I wonder why the people who are making the video are purposely zoning in on the bad parts and not the good

[jmallton]

@joikeas What you see hear is a sensationalized depiction of the situation in the USA...these people go to the worst part of Detroit and film it and try to make people think the entire city is in shambles................these doomsdayer people always try to present the worst possible scenario

[helpAmerica1]

where is the audio for for this video, all I hear is some guy winning about his cameras

IS Windsor, Canada this bad?

[plumstreetmusic]

No. However, Windsor has always struggled. Windsor is smaller, but has always provided entertainment for those crossing the border into Canada. During prohibition, Johnnie Walker distillery and various breweries thrived, supplying those who often smuggled the goods into the U.S. by driving across the frozen Detroit River. In recent decades, it has thrived with various strip clubs that cater to bachelor and bachelorette parties.

[plumstreetmusic]

(continued) Most recently, Windsor has prospered with major entertainment casinos. Of course, Essex county (of which Windsor is the major city) has long been home to the Canadian automotive industry.

conspiracy whackjobs, gotta love um.

[yogeedogee]

These buildings should be knocked down. Detroit is shrinking. Might as well turn these decrepit areas back to nature. Most likely these areas have been going down hill for decades.

[pizzlemj]

You are a pathetic little fuck probably in mommys basement watchin some black, spanish and musslim dudes fill your kike moms ass with ethnic love juice then you can slurp up the nut butter.

You are an epic loser and im watchin you douchebag. See ya soon!!!

[thehighlndr]

1) Group, institution or individual that creates tangible value: Manufacturers(Cars, etc.), Construction, Entertainment, Services real or virtual(mowing lawn, plumbers, doctors, etc.), Designers, Engineers, Artists, Teachers, etc.

2) Is of course Banks, Insurance Companies, HMO's, Lawyers, Wall Street & Speculation, politician, bureaucrats, and to some degree Management/MBAs, etc.

Military Contractors & Personnel falls under 2 even if needed. Bullets & bombs suck value 2x: When created & used.

[thehighlndr]

Both fake left/right play similar games. Excess regulation shackles Big3 or other domestic manufacturers, while also lack of other regulation or loopholes gives foreign companies advantage and promotes outsource/offshoring.

"Reforms" generally make worse and Obama is no exception.

2-economies/elites:

1) Those that create or produce real goods/services.

2) Those that suck money out of 1) or gov't to survive.

When #2 is bigger than #1 then the economy will collapse at some point.

[thehighlndr]

Has there been gov't policies that have shackled or dismantled the domestic autos or helped the foreign ones? YES!

This was in the hearings no one listened to...like "state franchise laws" that forces the Big3 to keep 3-5x the dealerships over the foreigners.

Health care, pensions & benefits for current/retirees is a legacy cost issue that even drug importing would help. Drug/HMO companies jacked up pricing & prevent competition or price controls worse than oil oligarchy.

[thehighlndr]

The situation was much like Quebec in Canada when they almost separated last time. Businesses ran away causing economic depression that mostly recovered only before recent downturn.

Border complaints: Some legit, but you could never take $5-10K of equipment across without something. Had they stopped and got a tag for their equip before crossing they would have had no hassle. Not new; I did it for rollerblades...grow up Alex.

Canada is another country, border smuggling was always illegal.

[thehighlndr]

Alex...like M. Moore...you have embraced the reality warping to make a point.

1967 Riot/Fire was the initial catalyst. Then businesses left > 30 years promised urban renewal, but your video shows the same buildings abandoned long ago, but not leveled & replaced by popular, but lazy/corrupt mayors/council fiddled/diddled.

Most shown is pre-Carter, but Michigan/Detroit has been ignored by feds for decades. Unemployment is bad, but de-urbanization is one factor/symptom only.

Read a book.

[finefilth]

THIS IS WAR!

[lifeflower1111]

Change you can believe on.

[undergroundbasement]

Detroit is an urban cesspool , and has been for decades. Glad I don't live there, but soon all major cities will look just like that, if you live in a city like Detroit, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Austin, Phoenix,Seattle, get out, get out of the major cities,and I'm speaking to those who know the truth, those that don't can suffer the consequences of being caught asleep when the big crash comes.

[scarecrowhcn]

i saw the street i live on at 7:40. Cabot Street - Southwest Detroit. That mosque at 7:42 used to be a church.

[winnietakesall]

The inner city homes of Detroit were ravaged by the riots in the 70's and never rebuilt. What is more devastating is the abandonment of the city by the auto industry: industrial flight left empty buildings falling apart years ago. The buildings in this video have been condemned for 20 years or more. Detroit ---on the skids for years. It's worse now with the Depression, and Detroit is always hit harder than the rest of the nation. It's been going on a lot longer than your video maker realizes.

[HoughMorris]

do you like to get fucked like on 911 ?

just a question

in europe people get taught in school the inside job, u should think about it

[winnietakesall]

I'm certain I was aware of 911 being a hoax 2  yrs. before Loose Change put it all together. Afrench journalist wrote a book about the fraud in 2002. One of my friends lost her mind over realizing the 17 cameras were stolen from the missile's path at the Pentagon. Too bad you get angry when your facts are wrong---like about Detroit---which has been demolished since I was a kid. F'n too bad for your lack of abillity for intelligent discussion too.

[HoughMorris]

[HoughMorris]

[winnietakesall]

You need to visit the Museum of tolerance in Los Angeles. You need to smell the burning flesh n the ovens. you need to see babies chopped to pieces by the SS. You need to think of the leukemia spreading amongst the children in Iraq because of the depleted uranium on our bombs. It is all horror. HORROR. We need peace. We need to work together for peace. spend some time away from your computers organizing your community to demonstrate for in the global PEACEWAVE May 1, 2010.

[winnietakesall]

You can demonstrate with 6 billion other people who want to put an end to the oligarchs. The G-20 maniacs. Take a stand in the street. Take a stand with the world.

Ford still makes a great car. buy one, you'll like it.

[WeCanAllGetAllong]

This is what many towns will look like soon! The more our president runs over the feelings of the americans the more this will indeed be a problem!

50% unemployment is a giant problem all of which the powers that be dont care about,seemingly! Were headed toward a nightmare with this administration! And they know it,and sadly dont give a crap!

Time to prepare like never before,prepare if you want to survive whats to come!

Thx for sharing Rock!
