Quote
With its violent crimes, high unemployment, dwindling population and financial crisis, Detroit was named on Thursday as the most miserable city in the United States. It toppled Miami, which held the title last year, and surpassed Flint, Michigan, Rockford and Chicago in Illinois and Modesto, California, which rounded out the five most unhappy urban areas. "Detroit's problems are hardly news. It has been in a four-decade decline paralleling the slide in the U.S. auto industry," according to Forbes.com, which compiles the yearly ranking. Earlier this week, a panel of experts said the automotive city was facing a fiscal emergency and potential bankruptcy, as well as a possible financial takeover by the state. Flint, which is being run by an emergency manager appointed by the state governor more than a year ago, faces similar problems and has some of the worst crime rates in the country and a jobless rate of 11.3 percent, according to Forbes.com.

I love when my company sends me to Chicago on business trips.  Specifically downtown Chicago though.   In terms of eating like a king on the company dime, it's right up there with NYC when it comes to a dining options.

It's insane how they get so angry that he won't offer them more or "help them out".  They truly believe that they're owed.

All of those empty buildings in Detroit should be razed. Seriously. They should bring in a demolition company to tear all of the buildings down, crush the concrete, seperate the metal, and use the aggregate to rebuild the city. They need to have a PPP, and get this done. If I lived there, it would have already happened.
