This is What Budget Cuts Have Done to Detroit ... And It's Freaking Awesome | |
ThirdEyeBrown (OP) User ID: 23761742 United States 06/29/2013 07:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Citizens are at a huge disadvantage in Detroit... The TMC and the DBC are just two of the larger, more visible examples of the market and voluntary human cooperation reigning in Detroit. "Food rebels," running local community gardens, are an alternative to Big Agriculture and government-subsidized factory farms. Private parking garages are popping up. Detroit residents are using Lockean homesteading principles to repurpose land amongst the rubble of the Fed-induced housing bubble. Community events like Biergartens and large, civic dining gatherings (with no permits or licenses!) are being organized privately. Even Detroit's artists are beginning to reflect this anarchic, peaceful movement in their artwork. ThirdEyeBrown |

If Detroit is saying it is bankrupt and cutting back protective services such as police and 911, that will eventually happen across the country. Crime will skyrocket, mainly by minorities (most violent crimes are by minorities), and eventually martial law will have to be brought in, with military on the streets to curb violence - by taking away the rights of the nonviolent citizens of course. |

Privatization of the police force. Just imagine if the police were an actual company instead of a public organization. "Haliburton United Security Force" You can already see the names if you just think about it. This isn't a good thing. Because then the corporate interests are REALLY protected by the police. Even more so than they are now. Just think of how much they are now, then multiply it by tens. |

This is a great thread and I am glad to learn whatever I can from it. but Detroit is not the template for the rest of America. No science to back me up there, but it is different from the rest of the United States in many, many ways. the template for our black, downtown areas, though - yeah, it might be. That is not the majority of this country, though. Will think on this some more. Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |

beeches User ID: 28167778 United States 06/29/2013 09:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember about a year or so back they had an initiative. They would pay you a few thousand dollars to take one of the empty homes in Detroit. That's a free house and a bit of cash. I remember telling my boyfriend about it, that if we could only get a street full of people to do this with us we could make our own village. He said I was crazy and we'll never move to Detroit and I have to agree with him on that, but I wonder if they are still doing that? It is still a hell hole there, though I am glad to hear humanity has begun to take control of their own destiny there. Good on them. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42482898 There is a lot of space there, so any small housing cluster would have a bit of privacy, if you could demolish the uninhabitable homes. I think your idea is wonderful... really wonderful. A city block does not fail because of the wood and bricks and plumbing in the house. It fails because the people who live in them are leeches and don't care about anything. put people into the homes that really want them, and they would be absolutely fine.

beeches User ID: 28167778 United States 06/29/2013 09:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am much more familiar with Youngstown, Ohio. A city of steelworkers, it has blocks of housing that were for purchase for very little - like $10,000. Blocks of houses for less than a car. We went to visit the three-room house that was home to my grandparents for many years - here is the address, 1719 Olson Avenue in Youngstown. It had a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom. THAT is all, oh, and a thriving side yard, and an awesomely beautiful view of Mill Creek Park, to the rear. We put in a bathroom for them on the ground floor - there had only been a toilet in the basement. It was a gorgeous tiny oasis for decades. Well I visited it for the first time in decades about 2 years ago. Deemed unfit to enter. Dead animal smell and garbage everywhere, the side yard blacktopped, the windows gone, the only color - instead of the sweet flowers they grew - was a row of nail polish bottles, crusted over with time on the front porch. back to the thread: it can only get better in Detroit. Reclaim the city, those of you who care. Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |

Future Viewer User ID: 804276 United States 06/29/2013 09:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is actually a good story here. Quoting: ThirdEyeBrown [link to www.policymic.com] Detroit is absolutely bankrupt. The city faces a cash shortfall of more than $100 million by June 30. Long-term liabilities, including pensions, exceed $14 billion. Michigan Governor Rick Snyder wants to bail out Detroit's city government even further. Thanks to the financial situation of Detroit, emergency services like police and fire departments are being severely cut short. 911 is only taking calls during business hours. Dale Brown and his organization, the Threat Management Center (TMC), have helped fill in the void left by the corrupt and incompetent city government. Brown started TMC in 1995 as a way to help his fellow Detroit citizens in the midst of a rise in home invasions and murders. While attempting to assist law enforcement, he found little but uninterested officers more concerned with extracting revenue through traffic tickets and terrorizing private homes with SWAT raids than protecting person and property. In an interview with Copblock.org, Brown explains how and why his private, free market policing organization has been so successful. The key to effective protection and security is love, says Brown, not weapons, violence, or law. It sounds a bit corny, yes, but the results speak for themselves. <50% ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's what happens when a City (Detroit) is artificially supported by Uncle Scam/Uncle Sham with Uncle Boris for over 80+ years, since that Communist Infiltrator (FDR) came into office from 1933. That was the day the USA died, when he came into office. Charles Lindbergh was 1000% on FDR. And hopefully that will happen in the "Long Island/NY metro area", with the con, fraud, scam ass, fake, Hasidic, Russian, Religious, Orthodox Jews,that have been breast fed from Uncle Sam for over 80+ years. Good riddins.. |

Do some serious research and you'll find ALL of your government agencies are for profit corporations listed on Dun & Bradstreet and some are also found on the Securities Exchange.

If Canada is a sub-corporation of the USA, that means the USA is the parent corporation.
