I have never been impressed by or much influenced by "celebrity" however Dr. Hanson is very much at the top of my short list of people that I would very much like to have dinner with. My career as a military officer caused me become a lifelong amateur military historian which in turn led me to the writings and lectures of VDH, which in turn led me to his insightful sociopolitical commentary.
Shelby Foote's books on the American Civil War are also among some of my most treasured and his political and social insights, both antebellum and post war, inform a lot about why we are where we are now in this country.
when I left the Packard plant was still working I heard they sold it to stupidbaker I left detroit in 1957 when I was 7 and it never was a liberal city
Big cities are not just shaped and controlled by "City Hall."
What happens and who's in control in the counties that surround big cities, or that are adjacent to big cities... the state government... and the federal government.
This all factors into the evolution of any big city.
If I were looking for an in-depth understanding of Detroit, I wouldn't be looking for it on this forum.
What factors shaped and favored the restoration and growth of Nagasaki after World War Two?
How little or how much of a hand should be ascribed to liberalism and liberal governance—in substance, if not in name?
I can't speak to that question with any confidence or authority, because I have never researched it.
I am confident that I can point to some other people who, likewise, could not speak to that question intelligibly, because they are in the same underinformed "boat" as I am, when it comes to an in-depth understanding of postwar Nagasaki.
I know these people by their screen names.

That's a good, honest answer, rinse.
I too realize that there are a nearly infinite number of influences the shape the future of any city, state, nation, or town.
Detroit was, at one time, the richest city in the world. Some areas are still very opulent, other areas look like war zones.
As I'm not an expert of the histories of the two cities over the span of the last 60 years, I will leave comments to those who are.

Lets see, steel production moved to China, car imports, manufacturing moved. Plants closed down, the working class suffered. the well off just moved some things around on a portfolio

America trades with Vietnam in another hypothetical relationship.
As a high-skill economy, American companies are excellent at producing valuable products and services, but not cheaply. Even a minimum-wage worker in the U.S. is expensive by some global standards. Most workers in the U.S., given the nation's education and business infrastructure, are extremely expensive.
As a developing economy, Vietnamese firms are not as good at producing high-skill products but can produce large volumes of work quite cheaply. Most workers in Vietnam can work for a small fraction of the cost of a U.S. employee due to a combination of skill, availability, and currency.
In a clothing-related trade deal, American companies could import shirts from Vietnam. This trade deal would allow U.S. firms to design patterns—as well as the technology for printing them—to take advantage of the U.S.' skill advantage. It would allow Vietnamese firms to mass-produce the physical garments, to take advantage of Vietnam's inexpensive labor pool. The result is that both markets increase their total wealth: Vietnam gets a net trade surplus, and American consumers get more shirts for less money.

ALL big cities in the US began declining in the late 50's through the 70's when everyone with money moved to the suburbs where they could have a yard with a white pickett fence i.e. The American Dream. The poor where left behind and they mostly voted for Democrats.
So there is a correlation between Democrat control and the decline of large cities, but there is no "causation". There was no democrat policy that made everyone want to move to the suburbs. It was just considered "moving up".
Tell that to all my my family that worked there and lost jobs when factories and auto plants closed down.
HENRY FORD WAS A FULL ON NAZI

To be clear, Henry Ford was a Democrat. He even ran for U.S. Senate as a Democrat in Michigan back in 1918.
That said... this does bum me out. Do we know WHY he was so staunchly against Jews?
btw ideas of partys over 100 years ago are NOT relevant today
the positions have swapped your denies just show your mis or dis-information from the echo chambers you live in everyone who cares knows it happened EXCEPT THE ECHO CHAMBER WHO KNOW BUT LIE

But wait... are you saying that Woodrow Wilson was really a Republican then? I'm confused how the Democrats of 100 years ago would have really been Republican, if...
History Channel:
"Woodrow Wilson, the 28th U.S. president, served in office from 1913 to 1921 and led America through World War I (1914-1918). Remembered as an advocate for democracy, progressivism and world peace, Wilson left a complex legacy that included re-segregating many branches of the federal workforce."
How can Woodrow Wilson be an advocate for progressivism, yet also somehow be a Republican, which is diametrically opposed to progressive ideology (fiscally, etc.).
THE RESULT IS THE PARTY OF ABE LINCOLN TRADED VALUES WITH JEFF DAVIS RACIST STATES RIGHTS esp in dixie WHILE THE POST LBJ DEMO GOT THE VALUES OF ABE NOT JEFF

So no one in your family went to school enough to know what "capitalism" means?
Labor was cheaper overseas. And later labor was cheaper done by robots and machines. In a capitalist society competing in a global market that means your family loses their good paying jobs.
but I do suspect it does hit too close to your belief system
btw I said it but did NOT make it up
and support it with many links
can you support your ideas with links to non nut sites ?
You know **** you and **** you with a big old ****ing donkey dick. **** you until you are stupid. **** well that didn't take long. You have no idea who I am and have never taken 5 ****ing minutes to find out. SO **** you and **** all of the ****s that stand up for you.
Ray Peat (1936–2022)[2] was an American conspiracy theorist, quack and cholesterol denialist[3] who promoted pseudoscientific views about nutrition.
His most bizarre claim was that essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) are harmful to human health and should be reduced in the diet to the lowest amount possible.[4] Peat's dietary views have been embraced by the far-right and white nationalists.[5] Peat insanely argued that a tablespoon of sucrose in honey can cure animals and emergency patients with fatal injuries, but was unaware that honey only contains between 0.8-5% sucrose.[6] He made many other ridiculous claims such as avocados causing cancer.[7]
In 2022 about 8 months before his death, much to the dismay of his followers, Peat contradicted his own dietary advice and admitted that he was eating oatmeal and putting oat bran on his food.[8]
Is RationalWiki a reliable source? That part about sucrose and honey seems garbled, as if it wasn't worded accurately. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ray_Peat
I had not encountered the term "cholesterol denialist" before.

No, thats not capitalism. Thats globalist idiocism. Liberal elitism.
The dumbest capitalist realizes unless the workers are paid enough to afford the products they are making, he has no market to sell to.
EXACTLY why Henry Ford raised wages to an unheard-of $5 a day.
