Except PBS does not own Sesame Street. It is owned by Childrens Television Workshop.
Which receives funding from the CPB, which receives federal funds.
Too bad it’s not a bank making hundreds of millions and still getting federal handouts, so you could be against it.

Why would that be true? Are you one insult short of your daily requirement?
In Detroit, actually the neighborhoods are improving, driven largely by young artistic entrepreneurship. “Detroit” is a fairly small area. Michigan as a whole has economic problems. Detroit itself, is probably the best its ever been in 25+ years.

The empty houses and foreclosed homes are everywhere.
The city has a budget for tearing down abandoned homes. it barely touches the problem. Detroit has a long way to go. Mayor Bing just slashed all the departments, cut back salaries and still will have a huge deficit.
Yes, but you said Detroit is getting worse. Is it great? No. Those houses have been empty for decades - foreclosure is not a new issue in Detroit. At all. But Detroit is getting better. Better is the opposite of worse.
No the houses have not been empty for decades. Those ones have been torn down by now. The empty houses nowadays are the results of our recent crisis.
Cite?

No, gonzo, what I wanted was a cite for what you claimed - that all or most of the empty houses in Detroit were abandoned since the last crisis.
Even your own cite says that this is not new, and that Detroit has been in decline for decades.

The glut of foreclosures have been since the great Republican/banker awakening of 2000 to 2008. There were problems, but the degree of trouble that the financial crash visited upon Detroit is unprecedented in Detroit history. the info i gave you shows an enormous amount of foreclosures that is continuing today. There was nothing like that in the past.
Repeating yourself is not a cite.

Is there someone there that can read. We are talking Detroit on a gradual downslope, which accelerated greatly when the Repub depression took hold. The info i gave you indicates a quickening of foreclosures in the last few years. There are many, many more foreclosures than in the past. That means that there is an increase in empty homes. which is on point.
It is getting ugly. I walked in the occupy march from Hart Plaza to Grand Circus Park in Detroit. It was a collaboration with unions. As we got close to the park, a guy with a very sophisticated movie camera was taking pictures of everyone as they marched by.
I read that some jurisdictions want to make it up to a 5 year sentence for people wearing masks at demonstrations. Don’t want to interfere with facial recognition technology, do we?
The police in Detroit have not confronted the Occupy Detroiters. Any confrontations have been defused by talking like adults. The cost to the people for policing Detroit has been about zero. During marches, the police stopped traffic to allow the Occupiers to walk without impeding traffic.
Odd. They considered the safety of the occupiers in their actions.
The Occupation is in the way of the Thanksgiving Day Parade and bleachers. So they asked if we would move back so they could take over the Park. No problems.
In NYC, Bloomberg would send in the police to beat the people out of the way. Apparently if you occupy, you have no rights . The police are allowed to pepper spray you and beat you, even if you are just a spectator or a reporter.
Bloomberg is wasting the peoples money .
Some people consider stream of consciousness writing to be interesting, but I’ve never seen it used effectively in a debate. Especially when it is loaded with factual errors.
None at all Mr. Right.
HA! That cracked me up. He really does like to free-form it. Can’t let pesky things like facts and logic interfere with his “art”.
Cite please.
Sorry, but you’re not the most reliable of sources particularly regarding the OWS movement.
You claimed on another thread that pizzerias around Zuccotti park had “hired 22 new employees”, but when asked to produce proof of this you repeatedly failed to do so.
So please, show us evidence that the city of Detroit hasn’t had to pay overtime for the police or anything similar.
