easy solution to detroits ecomomic malaise ... turn it into one big massive prison ! ..it might cost a few bucks to throw a few walls up to keep the cons in ..and a few guard towers here and there ...but a bit of electric fencing should keep the cost low ... plus you should get a bit of a federal hand out !
just think of the cost savings for the nation as a whole ...no more this regional prisons malarkey and transferring prisoners from state to state ...no more con- air 
escape from Detroit !!! ...I cant wait for the movie 
im joking BTW
but he he ..its allways an option |

that should keep the costs down
dell and rodders rule the roost

Especialy when other civil servents in admin positions are paid double that.. for countries so different, I'd say that the US, UK and Portugal do have some quite surprising similarities lol
I don't get the correlation between Portugal and the UK ...I need some enlightenment on this please . |

I would have to agree with you that currently the pendulum has swung in favour of the wealth consumers as opposed to the wealth creators . it would be very interesting to see how Detroit pulls itself out of its current situation .
lol... beurocrats .... = fkn vampires
which is pretty rich coming from someone who`s currently unemployed  |

reading this post reminds of back in the 90`s when the housing market crashed here in the Uk ... people actually started bartering for goods and services between them selves ....it was only a very small movement at the time but it got enough attention that it was reported in the press .The uk government got so concerned about the potential for lost tax revenue due to people bartering that they threw all their toys out of the pram and started shouting about the penalties of tax evasion ...
what I find curious is that this current economic malaise has been the worst in living memory ...yet no one has even mentioned bartering for goods and services ...and I have heard no rumours of people taking it up .
just an observation |

I think that we all agree that there is a fundamental problem ...
so how do we go about fixing it speaking figureitvly
I think that the whole of oope would agree that we don't want to go back to the days of the mill bosses and the mining bosses and the rest of the bullcrap that gave us the industrial revolution (which upon reflection was probably a good thing) ...but to what cost
I personally don't know the solution to the problem
but I have offered to work for free as I am unemployed ..and you would be quite surprised at the amount of companies that have turned me away ...simply because I am ..unemployed ..all im trying to do is keep my skill set up ..until I secure a permament position
im sorry ...but I just cant work this one out

[quote=Tumahub]Macro-level "solutions," are the problem. The real solution, as I said, is voluntary markets between individuals. The simplest form of that is barter, but cash and cryptocurrency industries are emerging everywhere. Chances are you have a skill that someone will compensate you for. The hard part is figuring out how to capitalize on those skills. Living on the grey market isn't easy, which is why lax-enforcement in places like Detroit are so desirable.
The first step is to get your mind out of the "I need to find a job/employer," paradigm. Nobody wants to hire right now, for good reason. Think of a way to start your own business or partner up with someone to do it.[/qu
cryptocurrency doesn't pay your council tax ..or your mortgage |
