We’ve brought this country a sound like no other and a gritty, gutty context that’s second to none, yet we’ve created countless problems for ourselves, most all of them self-inflicted.
We created the “Arsenal of Democracy” when our country needed it most, yet we allowed a movement based on fairness to become a disease based on entitlement and rancor.
We’ve contributed much to this nation's progress and standing, yet we can’t seem to get out of our own way at times, which is infuriating and debilitating.
But thankfully, the story never really ends for Detroit. At least not yet anyway. We’re still standing, warts and glaring faults and all.
We know who we are. And we know that the perception isn’t often favorable. And we get that. But still there’s an exuberance and spirit here that is indescribably joyous at times, which somehow makes it all worthwhile.
It’s a Detroit thing, or if you must, a Dee-troit thing. And we’re proud of what that means.
But if the current climate in Washington persists and this onslaught of abject stupidity continues unabated, then Detroit as we know it will not survive.
That’s the deal on Detroit in March 2025.
And that’s the High-Octane Truth for this week.
