Like everything that this goon touches, this neuralink shit is a farce. The leads need to be placed very specifically, then they need to not move with brain growth. They move, and fail, and then musk doctors get to open your head up again to reset them. This shit is never going to be viable. With muskrat involved it is certainly to be a grift.

But, this company synchron has it figured out. No placing leads, no open brain surgery. Outpatient install, and adaptive. Thing becomes part of the vein wall.

Standard oil was pouring gasoline into rivers as waste before Henry Ford and his Model T came along.

The auto industry gutted public transit across the country. GM diesel buses replaced electric urban rail systems.

GM made the EV1 and it was a huge hit, then they destroyed them all after collecting them from their users (they leased them all, no one got a chance to buy any)

And now, Ford just got a bunch of credit for putting a Billion $$ into the Detroit central train station, … so they can “design” EVs.

They are mocking us, that train station has no trains because the auto industry killed them. The building was unused because of cars. And now they are going to design something that was figured out 125 years ago that they destroyed. It is a monument to their domination of our economy.

Imagine, what kind of public transit we could have if we stopped building infrastructure for car companies and built actual mobility systems?

I moved to Detroit from a HCOL city I was established in. I was renting and the options I had to buy were not hopeful. The taxes alone would have kept me working for more money year over year for the foreseeable future.

I took what would have been a down payment and bought a place outright. I bought a project and it was cheap, only half my down payment fund.

Now I am all set up. I have no mortgage to pay. My house costs me taxes ($1700/yr) and insurance ($1500/yr) plus utilities ($50 internet, $150 gas&electric, $60 water) That is about $550/month.

In michigan, taxable value increases are capped at 5%.

I figure I can work any job and stay ahead of the bills. Yesterday I did a brake job for a friend of a friend for $200 and didn’t even need to leave the house. I can do things like this here and there and get by without even having a job.

I have never known this amount of stability in housing as an adult before. It is wild. I own this whole damn house and everything in it. I also made a bunch of equity right out the gate by fixing up an abandoned trap house.

Not trying to lay out a plan for others, just wanted to share how my plan has been a success and that Detroit is a place where home ownership is attainable.

Oh, couple other things. I have no kids and the schools were not a problem for me. Although the neighborhood kids are all wonderful.

I am not interested in living in “the country”. I am a city person, I want my resources close. I can walk to a hardware, grocery, and auto parts store from my place. No thanks on 30min drives to dollar general and TSC on the fancy days.

Thank you for further context. I would love to see this spread. Privacy in the US is like smoking in the 50’s, we all know, but no one cares because the cancer hasn’t metastasized yet.

Oh, I like this idea. 7 seas PAC, endorsed by anonymous,

“We want you to download cars!!!” as a slogan

sounds like a face is worth ~$1.40 to me.

I bite my thumb at google

cops are the next doopees of the market. All kinds of companies trying to become contractors with their dystopian surveillance products. Shit doesn’t work, the companies lie that it does then refuses any kind of oversight. The cops don’t care as long as they can brutalize people. Unfounded justification is plenty for these blue line bandits. Not like Geogroup or corecivic give a shit if people are guilty or not so long as they get paid to lock them up. 500k people are locked up in the US simply for being poor as is.

zillow says there are 379 houses in detroit under $50k
