"You’ll also get about 200k people demanding to know where their welfare checks are...."

I'm sure there's over 1,000,000 folks getting gubmint "assistance" in Detroit. And, yes, I'm well aware there aren't that many people there anymore (below 700k).

The seller ended it “because there was an error in the listing.”

Well...that was quick! The auction was only up for all of 10 minutes before being pulled by the seller. It does make me wonder, though, looking at the bid history. While there were a bunch of "0" feedback bids, there was one for over $90K from someone whose feedback was over 800...presumably a legitimate account!

Put all city employees and retirees on ObamaCare and privatize everything.

$20 billion in debt, and the judge won't let the city go into bankruptcy...talk about a mess.

Is there going to be a court-mandated tax increase as a "solution" in the near future?

She’ll be overruled soon. There’s way too much money at stake.

Just shut down Detroit and send the refuges to Chicago.

So, what do you want to do? Pawn it? Or sell it?

Nuke Detroit and turn it into a self lighting parking lot. It’s far simpler than selling this turd.

99,000? We’re not even in the same ball-park. What would you REALLY take for it? What’s your bottom line?
