The RTW law made a lot of difference in Georgia, North carolina and south carolina..Sorry to sed you are so clueless and didn't realize overseas car company's built plants in the South..
I read about this guy a few years ago, but I never wanted to post it, unless it was to win an argument
Gilbertville: A Billionaire's Drive To Rebuild The Motor City
Ok. I understand. Detroit is a democrat disaster, but has been resolved because michigan passed a right to work law, and in 10 years, all the jobs will be back to Detroit. In the meantime, the foreign car industry has built new plants in the South, so all those Southern workers will presumably send money to their unemployed brothers in Detroit, and end urban decay, there.
I'm afraid that your link about some billionaire saving Detroit was unreadable, since anything published by Forbes requires me to disable my ad-blocker in order to read it, and I'm not going to do that.
But, I am pleased that it is now just a matter of time before Detroit will be just like it was back in the 1950's before Packard started the ball rolling downhill by closing down it's auto plant, because of something or other that us democrats did.
Huh? The unemployed workers in Detroit caused their own problems, they voted for democrats..why are you trying to pass the buck? The writing was on the wall in the mid 70s...like a fricken 1/3 rd of that town residence is gone, a black bear a year ago was spotted in the hood buying crack.
You got Google , since you are so lazy here is another link
Detroit's Billionaires Hope to Change Downtown with Development Spree
Well, I guess that I am still confused. My original question was, if the democrats caused the mess in Detroit, exactly what is the republican plan to fix it, that the democrats are not already doing? So far, the only thing that you have come up with is that Michigan passed a right to work law.
I don't consider a couple of billionaires trying to revitalize the city to be a republican plan which could be initiated if people in Detroit simply stop voting democratic. In fact, the article has absolutely nothing to do with republicans, as far as i could tell. Frankly, it sounds like the only thing the republicans have to offer Detroit is a right to work law, which isn't going to make a hell of a lot of difference where there IS no work.
I used to have to come down here on business at least 3 or 4 Times a month in the 1980s..the place was Barney fife Mayberry..it was like the movie deliverance...
In the past 30 years it has exploded into a manufacturing power house.
Just the little upstate of south carolina alone..and as we speak Volvo is building a car manufacturing plant down state along with Boeing who is down there already
10 fastest growing U.S. cities - Greenville, S.C. (9) - CNNMoney
Once known for textile manufacturing,Greenville has become an international powerhouse, hosting companies from all parts of the globe.
The city, along with Spartanburg, Anderson and other nearby towns known as "The Upstate," boast more than 250 international firms, including BMW (Germany), Michelin (France), GlaxoSmithKline (United Kingdom) and Kyocera (Japan).
"That's the highest international investment per capita in the nation," said Nancy Whitworth, Greenville's Director of Economic Development.
Well, then, I'm sure that when I visit Detroit in 10 years, it will be a another Seattle Washington, that just reeks of industrial prosperity. This, in spite of the fact that automobiles are no longer manufactured by people. they are manufactured chiefly by robots.
Assembled by robots is the correct term..
But no it's still like 65% man and 35% robots today.
I posted this before I was in the huge BMW plant a few years ago during a Christmas shut down hundreds of robots thousands of people.
