Paul, I can agree on some things, just not everything.:)
Check out these auto vids of the past. I have to say I laughed when
you said to take a look at Detroit. Trust me, every time Imf there I
think of all the waste. I look at all the miles of abandon buildings
that once made a lot more than cars and its sad.

And people say there's no place to use low-yield nuclear
devices in today's world ....
Looks like a low-rise version of the Bronx 30 years ago.
This is the 'name plate city' of 40 % of America's GDP, you
say ?
A long long time ago, there was a need for Unions. Working
conditions were inhuman, and business fat-cats didn't give a shit.
But that was a long long time ago. In today's world ( in this
country, anyway ), that's just not the case. Look at Toyota, Honda,
Nissan, Daimler, Benz, etc - all making cars PROFITABLY in this
country, paying GOOD wages and bene's, GOOD working conditions, making
GOOD products and MAKING GOOD PROFITS, while paying wages that are
envied by people in other lines of work in those cities.
Happy workers living well, happy bosses living well ( but not
making the millions that bosses make in Detroit ), working well in
excellent working conditions every bit the match of Detroit lines,
happy shareholders, happy customers, and not one of them going to
Washington looking for a hand-out from the taxpayer.

Yeah, they could rent it out to hollywood as a end of days movie set.
'After the bomb' and not have to change a thing. Pretty sad actually.
There were more vids of people ridin around diamond city then I
imagined. I got depressed looking at them.

From what I've read, the states that court the other big three
practically give them the land and hand them huge tax advantages.
whos paying for that I wonder. That is a huge advantage but it all
catches up.

That's 'income deferred / declined', not 'money paid out'.
And it brings in tax dollars by all the employment, supporting
communities, etc.
