Tiny dancer, what did Tennessee do to Saturn? Last I looked, GM-Saturn is kaput there too. Aside: I have to tell you what I heard. Back in the late 40's, in my pre-teens, at least half of Tennessee moved to Michigan, and it was culture shock. Even the language was unusual. Immigrant food and fun were completely different, and all we heard about was how much better things were 'back home' even as they stayed and 'made the cars and hit the bars'. Then GM started Saturn in Spring Hill, Tenn. A friend who transferred there sent a picture of a bumper sticker that said.. "I don't care HOW you did it in Michigan". I had to laugh at the 180 of Tennessee's reaction of an influx of Yankees.Because even Hussein understands Flint, Michigan is a dismal lost cause. That, and he's got an urgent tee time to meet. The Democrats destroyed Flint just like they did Detroit. It's over. There is no coming back for Flint, Michigan. Dissolve the city and move on.
Do I detect a hint of fascism in paulitician's post above?
Just stating reality. Dissolve the city and government. It's over as a U.S. City. The Democrats killed Flint like they did so many other once flourishing American cities. So much ugly mismanagement and corruption. There will be no comeback for Flint. I feel for its citizens, but it is over. Time to dissolve and move on.
No blame or even recognition of the decision by GM to leave the city?
That's odd, one might take you for a partisan hack for pointing the finger at Democrats when corporate America left Flint, creating an immediate crisis for homeowners and landlords, retail stores and their employees, banks and their employees, service providers and the tax base of city leaders.
I did Saturn with my husband ok. Don't you dare tell me what happened in Michigan. They literally sucked the car companies dry asshole and the companies moved.
Now we did Tennessee with Saturn when he worked with PPG over paint but make no mistake. Michigan killed the car companies and forced them to move to different states.
