Detroit has been dubbed “the most liberal city in America” where progressive policies still prevail. Howzat workin’ out? In 1950, Detroit was the wealthiest city in America on a per capita income basis. Now, the 2nd poorest after Cleveland. Yeah, but it’s not the policies, it’s the implementation. What do you call something that nobody seems to be able to do correctly? In the real world, we call something like that “unworkable.” In politics, we call it “progressive.”
