I grew up in Flint, Michigan, during the 90s and have seen it slowly fade away in recent years. It's a dying city, a place with no hope. This is the cost of government neglect and corporate abuses of power. This is what happens when Americans refuse to buy US-built products, cars and trucks especially. An entire city, even an entire state, dying in front of us because we'd rather buy a cheap Japanese car... There are consequences to our actions. Why don't we see that?

  • Flint...what a piece of crap.

  • GM made $7.5 billion dollars in 2011. So, your point that 'this is what happens when American's refuse to buy US-built products" is bullshit. The unions caused this debacle. GM simply moved operations to countries and places where costs were less.

  • little dramatic dont ya think ? I was born in flint as well and after being held up by crack dealers and having my mom shot at by drug dealers I was happy to get the fuck out of there.

  • 055 I believe truck n buss is one of thee very last plants in Flint.

  • @DALE3SR All U.S. factory workers are idiots that couldn't hack it in a real job. They make crap while the Japanese and Chinese make far superior products. Their workfirces are not lazy and work very hard, not like the drunks, stoners, and losers that never went to college that make crap American cars.......

  • @gopconservative78 then why dont you go there you shit head. not all factory workers are like that. maybe if you and your republican brothers didnt send our fucking jobs elsewhere we wouldnt be in this situation.

  • thank god i am moving out of this festering crap hole of a city we lovingly call flint. at the begining of next week, after 18 years i'm free.

  • For 4 years I spent my summer vacations in Flint and savour the hot summer days exploring all the paths around Thread Lake and playing flash light tag on the hot summer nights on Cheyenne St. just of the Dort highway. The best time of my life.

  • I dont agree with no happiness.

  • American made cars are CRAP....Japanese cars are FAR superior and with a workforce that isn't on drugs or drinking on the job
