Nice data and presentation, Memph. I'm curious about what software you used to make the maps, define the areas, color them and post the numbers.

The guy who's been been giving him a lift on occasion, before any of the publicity started, is a banker in Troy. I think he's offered to steer him right.

No, it isn't. So now we're even with where we were in '08, but still 200K jobs below where we were in '04, and 400K jobs below where we were in 2000.

That post is borderline brilliant.

Another made-up story by DNerd. He suposedly met "plenty" of "former Detroiters" near "Rose City and Oscoda" and they "dropped N-bombs and bad-mouthed Muslims". Funny how this kind of thing seems to...

True, but when a job applicant with a Detroit HS diploma can't read a ruler, add or subtract, their most immediate problem is their lack of education and therefore lack of employability.

It may not be good for the Big 3's unionized workers, but it's insignificant to the American middle class. This is not 1970.

Per the UAW "More than 100,000 UAW members work in production and...

A guy steals $200,000 from the poor children in a failing school system and gets all these letters of support? And only 18 months in jail? There are guys in jail for a lot longer than that for...

If I were you I'd quit tomorrow. Tell them to pound sand. I'm sure you can get a better paying job working under better conditions in no time at all. There's a huge demand for your specialized...

Schools are largely a reflection of the families that send their kids there. The notion of "fixing" the school absent a concurrent "fixing" of the families in the area is wishful thinking. When you...

This is why these protests gain so little traction amongst the masses. You take something people might agree is wrong, or at least worth looking into more deeply, namely the physical interactions...

From the GalapogosDetroit website, it sounds like they claim self-sufficiency with respect to on-going operations only, not the costly initial rehab or renovation. They also envision a "partnership"...

The numbers don't add up.

$2 million in yearly revenue won't even pay the interest on a $60-$90 million renovation loan. Unless someone is funding this out of the goodness of their heart and...

McD's and the like aren't getting the "increasingly health conscious consumer that's desirous of higher quality experiences and products". They try, but their bread and butter is what it's always...

In 1840 fully 70% of American workers worked in agriculture. Today just 2% work in agriculture. What happened to food production in that time? Instead of feeding 17 million Americans in 1840, we feed...

Bing was in way over his head as Mayor. He couldn't even run his business, his customers had to do a version of the EFM, bring in qualified managers and execs to run his business so they could get...

The video from the gas station shows four boys standing close to curb, facing traffic. Two of the boys have their knees bent. Like a sprinter or football player does before taking off. They're...

Which union are/were the general employees in? Surely their union brothers and sisters won't let them down. They'll sacrifice a little from their checks or from the union's funds to make their...

Those are some dumb downriverites. That many people fighting and it never occurred to any of them that they were being disrespected and should therefore shoot someone.

Bump.

I might be heading to GPP tomorrow in the rain storm. Don't want to get caught trying to go down a blocked off street.

Been a couple Wednesday's now, Sumas, whatcha got for us?

Wednesday's past, right? Did I miss the closed street list? Sumas? You out there? Or was that you that got high-centered on that snow pile and you're still pushing it out?

About time. Actually, 20 years too late.

I'll just throw this out there, but if it turns out that Detroit pensioners do end up taking a big cut, is there a chance their union brothers and sisters will chip in to help make them whole? ...

Oh, the boxer's party. OK. I though it was the 58th Annual NAACP Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner.

Seriously, I see this and just want to flush the toilet.

Yes, it was staged. Still the right thing to do, but the facts behind the act cast it in a different light than if she just happened to get on the bus that day and decided she had had enough. Kind...
