re: #290 Dark_Falcon

It’s not the retirees fault, really, since it was the job of the city government not the unions to manage Detroit’s finances. But it is the retirees’ problem, since the entity that owes them money doesn’t have it and cannot on its own get it.

Then don’t say

“The unions should have kept a demand for a pay increase, perhaps making the request smaller”

It sure sounds ike you are saying they are at least in part at fault for what has just happened.

Once again, it is the cities fault that they agreed to demands they could not sustain, not the unions for asking for that amount.
