Detroit. Crime, poverty, massive unemployment, crippling depression, substance abuse, high/highest murder rates, being a post-industrial ruin, our shitty football team, home of the best damn hockey team ever.
We used to be known for good paying jobs, The Arsenal of Democracy (our factories won the war for the US), great music, and bad ass muscle cars. Also architecture and boxing.
Is it weird if I hope that one day everyone in the US ends up like us so I can laugh at them? Seriously, fuck the government, fuck the corporations. I hope and pray that one day everyone else can live with something on the scale of the bullshit we were damned to. Just once I want to be the smug bastard looking at someone about to lose everything they own due to unemployment and say, "Gee, shoulda got a different job. Hahaha!"
