Re: I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action

There is plenty of empty space among existing buildings in downtown Detroit, especially west of Griswold. The space doesn't always show up in CBD vacancy data because some of the space is not leasable in its current condition. I will also note proposed construction in District Detroit (LCA's neighb...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

Rod is someone I enjoy watching. I hope another network picks him up as the noncompete is set to be illegal in couple months.
I’m assuming mostly they are gonna take the money and run.

Re: I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action

The proposed $300 million deconstruction of I-375 is not about "restorative justice." The Black Bottom enclave is long gone. Those who were displaced many decades ago will see zero benefit, monetary or otherwise. For Duggan, Whitmer and others to even suggest this project is about social justice is...

The Grand Cherokee is pretty bullet proof. Others, not so much.
Relatively rarely do I see Grand Cherokees with a problem. Lots of Patriots, Compasses, Renegades and occasional Wranglers. Chargers, Challengers, Rams, Durangos, 2 and 300’s… not too shocking either.

Re: More stupidity from Dana Nessel

It’s a finite resource. We WILL RUN OUT in the next 100 years or so. Obsolescence will happen whether you approve or not. If we all believed that "peak oil" BS in the 70's we'd have been out of oil and gas a couple decades ago! What do you think Fracking is? It is getting the oil out of increasingl...

I thought MW and others said Jeeps were shitboxes. I see tons of various Jeeps on the side of the road broke down or abandoned in my travels. An obnoxiously larger number of Chevy Equinoxes and Dodge Journeys too. I don’t know if that’s a proxy for build quality or clientele quality… they may be mo...

Re: Biden agrees to debate Trump

If either of them shits the bed on stage (or actually shits their pants), they could seemingly be replaced, right? Very odd to have a presumptive nominee debate... It makes sense considering the amount of voting that happens in September and October now. By the time they commissions debates happen ...

That sure is a lot of tank ammo. Hopefully, it brings a swift end to this all.
Did you miss the “not expected to yield any deliveries for several years” part or do you have an Amish definition of swift?

This seems faintly reminiscent of what Channel 7 started doing to their older talent in 2009. Maybe 4 can do a better job handling it.
