People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
It's pretty hosed up, if you ask me.

No one asked yet, but if they do, I'll tell them "it's pretty hosed up."

Ok. So... what do you think about Detroit not having a Robocop statue yet?

I used to live in Detroit and backed the old rear end Kickstarter for the Robocop statue because it's super sweet, so I feel betrayed. Granted I put down like $10 or something very low, but still.

Is the police department running around with squad cars with holes in the floor due to the budget or is that hyperbole? I heard that a few times.

On the other hand, they did get that Baphomet statue from the Church of Satan, so it's kinda a wash.

They actually wasted the entire budget on brand-new cop cars that all have a mural of the RenCen on them.

They can't figure out how to get the laptops to work in like half of them so a bunch are just sitting in lots unused lol

How's life in today's Detroit? That whole urban farming thing working out? I gather from the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown episode on it that the city will always have its supporters no matter what and the place has become a hot spot for pop-up eateries and galleries and the like. I presume it's still dangerous as hell outside of downtown and the bad parts are REAL bad...

I heard an ad on the radio recently that was like "Come to Detroit! We're a real city now! You probably won't get murdered, honest! DETROIT!"

Although, if there are still people who want to tour North Korea at this point then I'll bet Detroit could pretty well for tourism. They just need to market themselves as a post-apocalyptic war zone and watch the death seekers swarm in.

I like how people talk about Rust Belt cities come back when from basic measures like population change they are still shrinking.
