See my post above. China now holds the multiplier effect of manufacturing. Although, they also are communist, manipulate their currency, and have a horrible human rights track record.
If it were...
I live here in the Detroit area, yet I work in Seattle [[remotely, but I'm there a lot). And as kindly as I can say this, you all are so way off course in emotion for the idea of light rail. Seattle's...
Maybe you should hang out in Ann Arbor. You missed out on the $1 per signature fraud campaign for the fake tea party. I'm sure there will be another soon. If you know anything about identify theft,...
Al - you and I agree that yes on prop 1 is risky. But dude - Tea Partiers are *broke* - they can barely scrape together a few hundered dollars for venues. I've seen the inside operation, you clearly...
Like a lot of things we see out of politicians today, the "reasons" for yes on prop 1 exclude real intentions. There is a momement in this nation to undermine the power of state governments.

Very fractured lower-class upbringing in places such as Livonia, Dearborn and Ann Arbor.
Graduated from WSU.
Have a terrific software career that includes being the developer of code...
Agreed. And only a portion of religious people are actually moral.
Just suppose:
if a kid is white, the kid will be around other whites and not put in a situation where it would be a cultural 180 degree adjustment.
Or how about a field trip only for AAs,...
Some have raised economics as the primary factor of crime.
My point is that it is not economics, but morality. Those with poor decision-making skills, lack of education, and inability to compete...
There has to be a menu of radical alternatives. This is one of them.
I would like to see a school with ridgid standards, entrance requirements, intense scruitiny, and ability to kick out students...
It's interesting to see the blue ghost car - apparently it was on the move.
I recall one at 5 mile [[or 6?) and Newburgh in the early 70's.
It's not limited to Detroit. The freeways and rural roads are unkept as well due to the same cuts. That was one of the few things I saw a direct cause-effect with my tax dollars. The government has...
I say, let them be stupid. Failure is viral, and most people love to dish out negative flames. Yet success can be viral as well.
There are a lot of problems to overcome - our energy and focus...
I think I would describe it more as deficient. The very first thing in their report should be a detailed justification with hard data of demonstrated demand. NOT hard data arguing for potential...
I'm rather amused that I continue to respond as I am clearly contrary to the group. I will agree with you that public money streams have unfortunate constraints.
That said, if it doesn't work...
I will admit I'm no LR expert. I do know Seattle's mess very well, but that's about it.
I generally oppose LR because of spending priorities. Detroit has bigger fish to fry.
But let me ask...
I appologize if you took my comments as a personal attack.
To recap, I was trying to persuade that
Spending priorities are out of order.
I've not seen proper justification for Light Rail...
The point was to open minds to the possibility of failure by presenting an extreme.
The LR advocates don't seem to care about articles like this:

Guys - think a little more abstractly here. Would you agree that we should not build an expensive, unused system?
Is it at all possible that those in power will build such a system irrespective...
Chris is a good guy. Microsoft was sorry to see him go.
Let's hope for the best in his new challenge. There certainly where a lot of reasons for him to pass on it.
Hey y'all... here are some videos to give you an extreme example to get the point across of what happens when "leaders" build without demand. This is typical of supply without demand of consumption....
Is it the teachers - or the parents?
I argue NEITHER, it is a fundamentally flawed system.
Public schools have some advantages. But let's not overlook the disadvantages. They take children...
All well said. I turn them on anyway, and, amazingly a lot of others do too. And I want them to win - I don't know why...
