Detroit is the greatest city on earth bro. So much positive. Take a look or visit the city for yourself

[MOTROIT]

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!

@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.

@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.

@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.

Don't buy foreign. Buy American, and Detroit will fix itself

[FearTheSpartans]

alright dude i'm a sparty for life but america's asscrack? really? come one man have some pride.

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

[TheMidcoast1]

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.

@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!

[hardcorepride4life]
