guys, michigan is a conundrum. For every $10,000 home there is a $5,000,000 home.

GM, Chrysler, Ford and ALL of their Teir 1 suppliers are based in Detroit or just outside of it in Pontiac, Aubrun Hills, Woodward etc.

There are incredibly gourgeous and expensive neighbourhoods and tons of places to get good work if you are qualified.

The world is only a bitch for poor, stupid, ugly people…

windor’s unemployment rate is over 10% right now… i wonder what detroit’s is.

i’ve been to detroit, it was insane… skyscrapers completely abandoned, nothing but bums and degenerates on the main boulevards at 11am on a tuesday in the primary financial sectors.

LOL I’m sure they were saying the same shit in the late 70’s when Chrysler avoided bankruptcy back then LOL.

I just got back from Chrysler’s 4000 acre test facility, one of the most advanced in the world. If they are going down, someone better tell them cause they put on a display worthy of royalty for like 500 international jounalistos 🙂

Michigan State Property Tax Estimator.

[https://treas-secure.state.mi.us/ptestimator/PTEstimator.asp](https://treas-secure.state.mi.us/ptestimator/PTEstimator.asp)

If you buy a $2000 home valued at $26,000. Depending on your county and city/town you’ll be paying around $500/yr for taxes.

we should actually all move to UAE…and somehow become citizens.

free education all the way through university,  
free house when you marry.  
long term no interest loans (so you can buy that veyron you’ve always wanted)  
no taxes  
gas is less expensive than water  
etc.

sure you cant be seen in public with an unrelated female. who cares?
