Michael Barone reports the collapse in population in Detroit:
In 1950, when I was in kindergarten in Detroit, the city had a population of (rounded off) 1,850,000. Today the latest census estimate for Detroit is 886,000, less than half as many.Previous: The Death of Detroit

Eh...we can't be concerned with a city like Detroit. As Conservatives, we know that coporations have no responsibilities to workers or cities. The key is the bottom line and so we should not shed a tear for Detroit as a city. Company profits are the key not people.
