Without challenging Bob Daddow's accuracy, I question the prudence of telling an international business wire:
“People have no job, no home, no credit and no reason to stay. We’re very much still on a downward spiral and we haven’t hit bottom yet. . . . we’re losing jobs by the thousands and only bringing them in by the hundreds.” "
Dogs know enough not to crap in their own house, but Oakland County's deputy executive thinks that type of self-flagellation is . . . what exactly?

Naturally, the head on Bloomberg News Service's globally distributed report yesterday is:
GM Bankruptcy May Say ‘No Reason to Stay’ to Detroit Residents

It also quotes Dennis Archer, Bob Stempel, author Kevin Boyle and Mike Smith of the Reuther Library . . all voicing blunt reality, but none quite as raw as what Brooks' deputy says.

Reminds me of the keep-it-at-home rule about financial/marital/mental/other trouble in the family. No, we sure can't hide that Metro Deteroit /Michigan are bleeding, but is it smart to say "people . . . have no reason to stay"?

--> Does Bob Daddow deserve points for tellin' it as it is . . . or derision for dumping excessively?
