Rack and ruin

The people of Detroit are incapable of managing their own affairs. Leftist utopias end in Robocop (if you are lucky). So much for democracy. The evidence.

“I have not seen this many unclaimed bodies in 13 years on the job,” said Albert Samuels, chief investigator at the mortuary. “It started happening when the economy went south last year. I have never seen this many people struggling to give people their last resting place.”

Unburied bodies piling up in the city mortuary — it reached 70 earlier this year — is the latest and perhaps most appalling indignity to be heaped on the people of Detroit. The motor city that once boasted the highest median income and home ownership rate in the US is today in the midst of a long and agonising death spiral.

These same people now hold the reigns of power in Washington. Best of luck.
