Perhaps you should elect a government free from union control. Might go a long way to renewed prosperity. It’s killing Detroit.

The unions make a handy scapegoat, but all the people who prospered from union-won wages and benefits, which included the white collar workers at the Big Three back in the day, who were given matching benefits, funded a massive economic engine that drove the whole region.

Southeastern Michigan has a lot more problems than the unions, which are greatly-weakened nowadays. I could list about ten, but it’s too depressing.
