First, there was decentralization. Strikes, inspired by union negotiations and a refusal by blacks and whites to work side by side, were halting progress, according to "Detroit, Race and Uneven Development," co-written by Joe T. Darden. Factories were built in the suburbs and in neighboring states so that if there was a protest in one factory, work could still continue elsewhere. But as the factories spread out, so too did the job opportunities.
When the industry then experimented with automation, replacing assembly-line jobs with machinery, tens of thousands of jobs were lost. The industry shrank even more during the energy crisis in the 1970s and the economic recession in the 1980s. And foreign competition caused profits to plummet.
The key decision-makers – major shareholders in General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, etc, and the boards of directors they selected – made many disastrous decisions.
They failed in competition with European and Japanese automobile capitalists and so lost market share to them.
They responded too slowly and inadequately to the need to develop new fuel-saving technologies.
And, perhaps most tellingly, they responded to their own failures by deciding to move production out of Detroit so they could pay other workers lower wages.
Detroit wasn't about politics. It was about capitalism, and it's all around us today.

The development of the Joint Strike Fighter, a fifth-generation stealth jet, has been beset by spiraling costs and schedule delays. The program's price tag is nearly $400 billion for 2,457 planes -- almost twice the initial estimate.

... and even the association, like someone who associates with a guy in a blue shirt was drinking beer.
What I don't see is causation.
Lots of things change over time, either in the same or opposite direction as depression.
Look at opiod abuse.
It all started with the "twist," dance craze -- a direct spinoff of rock & roll.

You have access to Google.
What does it say?
I don't need to know history.
I need to Google it. Plus, I lived it.
Coleman Young, his 20 years as mayor, and what he did to the middle class. He created the Detroit of today.
1994 - 20 = 1974.
You're so full of shit, you didn't bother Googling.
I'm tired of you, and you are dismissed.
My tripwires will not let me go to that site, but seriously? 20 years?
You think Detroit was destroyed in the last 20 years?

Such fun.
Guess which letter Detroit has started with since July 24th, 1701?
... convenience.
It is predicted to excel or to suck tater toes, depending on agenda de jour.

You know what?
Fuck it.
Cable and satellite companies know what the fuck you're doing with your connection.
Notice that all the boxes say, "Digital."
What the hell did you think that meant?
And, when you use cable and satellite, the Internet is just a thin film away.
Employees, employers, and customers have always taken advantage of any weaknesses on the other's part.

Employees, employers, and customers have always taken advantage of any weaknesses on the other's part.
This is not a major problem because Uber will move to fix this one problem and fix another when someone does their QA for them.
... Brute?
I agree with you and this touches on a point I have considered since way back.
I was born in 1945 and by the time I was able to understand stuff around me, WWII was still a huge thing. I'm talking about ca. 1955.
My daddy was in the Army Air Corps, changed to Air Force after the War.
As a kid, I was familiar with the state of the art of combat and supply aircraft of that time.
Fucking fighter jets, aircraft carriers and certainly tanks, are all old school.
John McCain says the last F-35 will ship in 2040, by which time everybody else will have much newer technology.
I'm thinking mostly drones with super powers. A large part of the defense budget is troops and the need to support them.
On a human rights note, we can't afford to send people into war and we can't afford to fix them when they come back.

And, I agree that it's not LM.
I've followed the F-35 and it's a cluster fuck.
LM is going through the same shit you and I go through when we develop systems for end users.
They don't know what they want, and we don't either.
I'm reminded of a Dilbert cartoon:
PHB: Are you finished with the product?
Dilbert: Are you through changing the specifications?
PHB: I don't know.
Dilbert: Then I don't know.
... come back.
Alternatively, perhaps security vs the crap you propose isn't a binary choice.
... because there ain't a goddam other thing that's secure.
26 million is the camel's nose.
For reference look at the F-35.

Kinda like your post. (and mine)
This.
The FBI did not want to get its hands dirty.
Look at your phone.
It has email addresses, phone numbers, voicemails, text messages, location information, etc. THAT ARE NOT YOURS!
Also, the FBI has all it needs in this matter to close the case.
Apple is in a familiar spot: Looking at the FBI and then looking at the consumers.
Guess which interested party gives money to Apple?
If Apple were to provide open phones, whichever company provided a secure phone would grab market share as iPhone owners tossed theirs into a fire.
There's plenty of goddam search engines, why the fuck speculate?
No mod points to give, but thank you for your experience.
The rest of the comments are garbage.
Where do you get your goddam numbers?
...there are only about 2000 actual white supremacists in the US.
