Are they? Is this being worked on? That seems like it could be a substantial lift.

EDIT: As a side note, I can't believe I have over 1,000 posts. I have not posted on here since maybe 2012...

Glad to see you're living up to your user name. :)

Detroitnerd's post just quoted a facebook page with some snarky comments after being asked for a link, which was probably pretty tame, all in all, for the nerd.

Given the size and scope of the...

Edit: It is tragic, of course. Remainder of post removed.

Might not be race, directly. Might well be that what strikes some people as an utterly absurd murder tale, almost fictional, is more relatable to others.

The ability to relate to the situations...

It seems that way. I also stumbled over that waaaaay more than the race stuff.

I do think the issue of gentrification squeezing the long-term residents of the place that is gentrifying is very...

The city's lobbyist sounds like a dapper gentleman.

The city/state relationship sounds pretty dysfunctional [[sorry, I'm new here).

Of course guns kill people. That's what they're made for.

Keeping arms on-hand to prevent some kind of government take-over can be a well thought out measure. But I think where Bham1982 is going...

*looks up* Lenny? Lenny Briscoe?

I'm just glad these CCW-types aren't the ones keeping Arts, Beats & Eats safe and family friendly.

It's very regrettable that this little girl shot herself in the leg. The death of Adaisha Miller...

The article the OP linked to goes on to specify the following:



The state is not enforcing its own law. So is the claim, anyway. Testing that claim seems like an exemplary use of the courts to...

Precisely. Look at this excerpt from a letter a 7th-grader wrote to Governor Snyder, per the article: "My name is Quemtin . . . and you can make the school gooder by geting people that will do the...

This bears repeating:







You learn something every day.

From that article:

Envisurage, in turn, is apparently a vehicle [[no pun intended) for this guy.

That article doesn't sound too bad.

I can relate to what she is saying in that piece. I have had those conversations about why I would move to Detroit from NYC when the other party was actively scanning for tickets out of Detroit to...

This seems like the crucial passage:


What happens if Detroit can no longer pay its pension obligations? Does it fall to the state? Does Michigan guarantee the public-sector pension obligations...

Agreed. The few tens of thousands of dollars this would save is a drop in the bucket. I do, however, think the symbolic value is very valuable in terms of shared suffering. I know I would value it.

What a relief!

As you point out, the idea is far more legitimate if it is comparable to student loans than it is to credit card debt - Keynesian, even, so it's seemingly quite out of style.

Those foolish...

I'm sure glad my hyperbolic comparisons of Detroit to famously war-torn cities have mostly involved Sarajevo, circa 1994.

Right on, Lowell.

I feel rickrolled.
