Detroit Lurches Back Into Its Natural State As Human Manicurists Depart

More than anything else this video shows that the guidance put forth by John Conyers was wrong. Rep Conyers who represents this general area said "From Political Power Comes Economic Power".

In Detroit - please detail the remaining ground of "political power" that has yet to be conquered?

The more powerful truth is that there needs to be a balance of many forces within a space as managed by the human being OR that land which was put into production BECAUSE there was certain order in place will lapse back toward the state that erosion, corrosion, dilapidation and desperation had it to be throughout the entirety of its time on this Earth.

Relative to time - the "thriving Detroit" period was the rare exception. The forces that built it up was temporarily able to construct a system upon which the forces listed above began to immediately work against. A vessel, if you will. There were human beings employed to "plug the leaks" in the hull that a rock created or to scrape off the rust that the salt water triggered the natural process of oxidation.  Thus the old Detroit was a system that was maintained by humans performing distributed duties.

The old Detroit was an aggregation of knowledge.  Not only were there the metallurgist who turned iron ore into the frame of a car - the knowledge of such and the process of doing so created jobs for hundreds of other people to work the intermediate processes from the Earth to the showroom  floor.  Each of these humans participated in this production line to apply their brainpower and muscle power in exchange for a salary package and to fulfill the need that every human has to feel a sense of belonging and the satisfaction that comes from it.

The question of "Who made the the assault upon Detroit that caused it to be as it is today, falling from its height of production?"

For labor - the corporations were exploiting them all along.  Thus they were executing a struggle for "just pay" from the beginning.  Without them the company could not have been profitable in the first place.  They simply wanted their "fair share" of the pie slice to take home.

For the corporation - the point is now clear.  They came along and turned barren land into productive land.  To do so they employed processes that balanced the demands from labor with the painful truths of the market place that their competitors had forced upon them.

For the consumer - The money received from employment provided them with the means to purchase a car.  As the choices of car companies expanded, however, Detroit became more of an "also ran", threatening the city as the firms could not compete.

For the commercial bank - the need to make investments that provide returns made Detroit attractive on the incline but as it eroded we saw a "flight of capital".
