In Huxley's book Brave New World, Detroit was the new center of this New World Order.

What happened to cause Detroit to be sacrificed?

What more could they do to save it? Millions upon millions were poured into that cesspool, proving once and for all that lack of $$ is NOT the problem.

Maybe because it once stood for something greater?

Automobile manufacturing at the height of American
achievement.
Was Motown around that area? The height of great
music?

Just a thought.

My point is that there were others just as fucked up. Like Cleveland, Indianapolis and others.

I just think just about more than economics and politics.

You got it right , it will be the center of the new world .... That why they made it fail .... Got to make all the property cheap .... And discharge all debt... The the elite step in and buy every thing for pennies on the dollar.
The trick everyone to move back , hmmm maybe with changing poles or climate change. Not to also mention it sits right on the biggest fresh water lakes.

Detroit kinda freaked me out after I had seen the first Robo Cop at the theaters in the 80's. I don't know if it was a pre-programming mind thing or what, but after that movie came out, I wanted nothing to do with Detroit except maybe their cars, and that was it!

Glad you asked. I have watched all of those depressing videos. Especially the ones of before and after. How sad!!! Greed. Global economy. Corporate America. China and foreign car companies. The list goes on and on. One thing is for certain - our fore fathers (like my grandfather in the coal mines if PA) are turning in their graves right about now

Yeah but you asked on a superficial level that's the solid truth. But to play devil's advocate (pun intended) my first thought was how these companies robbed Americans blind and their workers. You can only screw so many people - the evilness of these companies - a damn shame

Re: Why was Detroit allowed to be so utterly destroyed? Was it racist, Illuminati related? Other rust belts cities were spared.
growing up in Detroit, I see three problems...

-Greedy Unions

-Greedy Corporations

-Government who allowed greedy corporations to go outside the country w/no regard for the people they govern.

Companies should have free will to leave the country if they want. We are not communists here. I believe that those same companies have a responsibility to their community (yes, where their headquarters are, and where their factories were), and therefore should still be shelling out regular taxes, to the municipalities, states and to the Fed, for each job they ship overseas, just as if the job was still in the US. Our cities should not decay into shit because corporations wanted to export their labor.

I think the auto makers have, for the most part, abandoned Detroit.

From the figures listed on Wikipedia:

Ford has 92 plants that are open.
Out of those, 61 are not in the USA.
Out of those in the USA, 15 are in Michigan.

Factory Workers in Michigan: 9,748
Factory Workers in the USA: 35,238
Factory Workers not in the USA: 77,589
Factory Workers Worldwide: 116,637

Seems like we have two threads going in one.

One is about the hidden agenda destruction of Detroit.

And one is about economics.

This shows people's mindsets now.

That's cool though. Both are welcome here.
