Shopping Becomes a Challenge as Auto-Industry Collapse Adds to City's Woes
DETROIT -- They call this the Motor City, but you have to leave town to buy a Chrysler or a Jeep.
Borders Inc. was founded 40 miles away, but the only one of the chain's bookstores here closed this month. And Starbucks Corp., famous for saturating U.S. cities with its storefronts, has only four left in this city of 900,000 after closures last summer.
There was a time early in the decade when downtown Detroit was sprouting new cafes and shops, and residents began to nurture hopes of a rebound. But lately, they are finding it increasingly tough to buy groceries or get a cup of fresh-roast coffee as the 11th largest U.S. city struggles with the recession and the auto-industry crisis.
No national grocery chain operates a store here. A lack of outlets that sell fresh produce and meat has led the United Food and Commercial Workers union and a community group to think about building a grocery store of its own.
One of the few remaining bookstores is the massive used-book outlet John K. King has operated out of an abandoned glove factory since 1983. But Mr. King is considering moving his operations to the suburbs.

This further shows the criminal mindset of the American Executives, who have constructively destroyed a nations economy, sold off its production units, and it wonders why it's cities are folding over and falling into demise. The GREAT 20TH CENTURY ROBBERY.. this is what American Executive has created, is the demise on a nation, for their opulence and self indulgence. Trillions of dollars, looted, wasted, and simply robbed for the sake of a few. and these people sport their Ivy League Degree, which is proving more and more to be nothing more than a symbol of "High Level Economic Treason Authorization Documents"
Japan got wise after the rip off they endured after the 1980's, they now, dominate the auto market, and they dominate in other areas of product quality. It will take them a while to regain their ability to keep all their people working and secure jobs for them, but I think Japan will be Ahead of the US in accomplishing that, because they seem to have interest in their people as equal beings as it relates to cultural unity, as a homogeneous country,
America on the other hand, has never been a country that regarded all its people with equality, and it is even less of a move to do so. Because the wealthy have stole everything they could, living in their lavish lifestyles, of glutton and waste, and exaggerated delusion of fake royalty they claim unto themselves, at the expense of a nation of people.
The principle of life are simple.. "you live by the sword, you die by the sword" - this principle may well not change any time soon, and a Nation that rose up by the usage of people, and the mal treatment of people, is the same nation that abandoned its own constitution, when it set up to import indentured servants and slaves, and divide the nation into the respected and the disrespected. the used and abused, and the delusion of a segment claiming themselves superior, and thus separating that with the line between the one race of poor and rich, as they claimed to dominate a nation,.. and the cycle of spike and crash, take back the gains, and sell of the means for any people to even sustain the basic of home. The mentality of a nation that lived and made laws to support the slaver and the slave, the master and the indentured servant.. has continually shown, this nation cannot get that out of its system.
It sold away its industry, looking for slaves and indentured servants across the glob, and when it could not import them, it simply exported the jobs to other locations. We saw the continual fall of the economy for the past 47 years, and for the past 30 years, it has been one cycle of shams and rip off, and the collapse on one industry behind the next, until the recent, collapse of the base financial system. It sold out the value of its property, and carted away its industry, and then proceeded to sell to the world, fake paper, built on a delusion and a sham, as the greatest pyramid scheme ever to exist.
The cycle is the same, it is no different than it did when it had to face paying labor to keep plantation going, it chose to close them, rather than share the gains from the labor and production, and the South fell like a giant rock from a 10,000 foot cliff, it fell with speed and dramatic impact.
We are a nation that push education, but then deny it, by the claim that Ivy League high pay schools usurp the degree issued by other universities, and made even the nature of a college degree, "unequal"... this is the core of the mindset of a nation that rose by the usage of bias, and it is the process to support bias and denial in lieu of pursuing a continuation of seeking a slave force, that brought this country again to its economic downfall.
It is a nation that detested the mere thought of women, poor whites and minorities, to have or make any gains, and any gains that are made in economic' the system is designed to spike and crash and take those gains back, to keep the continuance of the slaver and the slave mentality of conditions ongoing.
The sad reality, is that America does not know how to change. It is trying, by the recent fall of the Republican apparatus, has shown that the people are realizing the mindset that is pushed of the exclusion directive, and the masses are aware now, but don't know what to do. Some know, our only way to change is to make the efforts to do so, which means the government now has to prop up things, and change laws, and change governance, and some fight it, but its the only salvation, to force change this nation, to be one that respects its citizens, and not worship its corporate rich and the delusional elite. Its a hard transition, but it has to be made.
We are now a monarchical plutocracy, which is far from being a democracy.. but by the process the current administration is making, to covert this nation back to a democracy, is being fought by the power elite, who want not to give up their rights of usage of the American people for the sake of themselves. It's no different than the dire battle they waged to deny civil rights, is the same mentality that is being waged to deny economic rights, even while the nations economy crumbles into decay.
But we can have hope the current Administration, who is looking not only internally, but externally, to build diplomacy to replace the dictations, and to put the governance laws in place to regulate the thieves to avoid their further abuse of the system and the people, and the reverse the laws, that were enacted to insure that indenture remains the bounds which hold the people in a structured bondage. People are finally learning that the public is who buys the debt left when banks are looted, and allowed to rip and rob and collapse, which always become the burden the people must bear. But invariably we have also an administration that is aware of the nature of this constructive robbery, and they are making efforts to change the course and re-direct our system to be accountable not only to the people, but to hold those thieves who use the language crafted by the mouthpiece accomplices , we call lawyers, who are trained to rob by the use of documents.
Our whole system has been infected with laws, that were crafted to keep people down, and insure that servitude is imposed upon the masses, This country spent nearly 450 years, devising means to insure that segments of the population remained to live as if it was a nation of peasants.. waiting for crumbs from the ruling elite.
They destroyed every field of business as well as social care all for the sake of greed for a few. they made foul even the system of our health care, with the design of a get rich quick cycle of madness, selling fake drugs, and delusion insurance policies, all the while - preying on the people, as the so claimed elite, make use of people for their own vanity, and the fall of a nation is a continuation of their madness. We have become to follow the same cycle the Romans traveled, We are no any different than the fall of the Spaniards, and the Fall of the British Empire, led by the fools who claim themselves titans of industry, paying themselves yearly a kings sum, for the demise of the social fabric and the economic function within a nation.
Our best hope is to see and support an administration that is seeking full circle accountability, and equality of persons, and understand the debt we incur, to rebuild, must be assisted with policies that support equilibrium within the governance of the mad men and fools, who dominate the executive suites of American Business.
People need to look back at the history of the nation, not only did it slaughter the original inhabitants of this nation, and force them into what it called reservations, it brought millions of white poor people and indentured them into servitude, it also raided a nation and imported slaves for nearly 200 years, and within the cycle of such, it has been an abusive regime of process for the span of the life of this nation. It certainly is in need of change, and the change not only must be at the core, but it must reverberate through-out every sector of this nation, if we are to again find means to prosper to the ability to support and make work and equitable means for the masses to live and support their families.
This transition is and will be as hard fought as the long journey to fight to make civil rights a point and fact, yet, we've only done so in law, but it must be done in the hearts of men, and history has shown that some are just not willing to live in a world which respect people as equals. and therein lies the true problems that face this nation.
As generations of the biased minded pass away and the age of the new mentality dominate where the respect of person is not based on skin, and other delusional things. Then American may learn how to truly honor the words of its own constitution. But until that day, we may need to see laws, both on the Federal Level, and the local municipalities changed and many of the constructed laws, designed to contain a segment of the people, based on who is poor and who is of assorted skin make up, then we will see the overturning of those crooked laws, and a nation may learn to heal itself and become truly a democracy, that has the ability to function with a economy system of capitalism, which does not quickly turn itself into a plutocracy, driven by its own biases against its own people.
