This posting was originally published in July 2013. That was the time when the Once-Great City of Detroit was going through Bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy was in all the papers and then it was gone.
By gone I don’t mean Detroit was gone. The coverage of its Bankruptcy was gone. Detroit is still there. It just looks like Hiroshima and Nagasaki did in late August 1945 (while today Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like Detroit did in late August 1945).
What probably happened to divert our attention from Detroit was the NFL Football season started. Thankfully, now that NFL Football is proving it is not worthy of our attention, next time a story like this one about Detroit happens, we will continue to pay attention…Or will we?
Six And A Half Years Old And Still Funny
On July 26, 2013 my newspaper told me...
“ In the next phase of the case, the City of Detroit must prove that it is insolvent.”
If my newspaper were talking about any other city I would understand the need to jump through this Legal Hoop but let’s get serious! My newspaper is talking about Detroit and Detroit Is Insolvent and Its Insolvency Is Obvious.
What’s next? What other Obvious Provings are going to take place in the court rooms of the Good Ole USofA?...
It just may be that our Judicial System will be able to forgo any further legal haggling over whether or not Detroit is Insolvent by looking into any of the Online Dictionaries on the Internet which now have a little picture of the Detroit Skyline next to the words... “Insolvent” and “Bankrupt”.
Would I kid u?
