Year 2 fellows with Challenge Detroit, a program designed to import talent into the Motor City.
(Challenge Detroit)
DETROIT, MI - Know someone looking to start a career? A Detroit program now talking applications is paying people to move to the city for a year to work with companies and nonprofits in an effort to recruit talent to the Motor City.
Challenge Detroit is seeking its third class of fellows to "live, work and play" in Detroit. The program matches 30 fellows with host companies where they'll work four days a week, and with nonprofits where they'll work on community-service projects.
Fellows make $36,000 for the year, plus benefits, and some have landed full-time jobs with their host companies. They also get access to Detroit cultural and entertainment events and take part in a leadership training program.
Twenty-four of the 27 fellows who took part in Challenge Detroit's first class stayed in Detroit, according to Jeffrey Lamoureux, a spokesman for the program. Twelve of the fellows found work with their host companies, four found jobs through the Challenge Detroit network, five started their own companies and three pursued their own opportunities.
Among the host companies for the 2014-15 class include: General Motors, CBS Detroit Radio, the Detroit Lions, the United Way of Southeastern Michigan and Crestmark Bank.
People interested in applying need to send a Phase One application to Challenge Detroit by March 9. Year 3 fellows will start working in September.

Fcuked over Calvin Johnson so bad we have apologize twice!!!
Why you leave out Coach Caldwell ... the only Lions coach with a winning record in over 60 years and they fired him and hired some 2-14 cac!
The lions missed the playoffs by one game and the talk radio mouths were nitpicking every call in every game talking about how we should have been a division champ with a bye week. Shit was laughable. Because a black coach did it, they thought anybody could do it.
This is back when I gave a shit.

And add one more thing to the equation. Caldwell did it with NO RUNNING BACKS! Zero running game which is the fault of the GM, not the coach. Love watching that asshole organization sink into the shit.
I am still trying to figure out how they just shyt the bed when it comes to getting some kind of Offensive Line. They've had two running back greats and imagine if they had an offensive line to compliment them?
Caldwell was set up to fail.
I will never forget the ’16 season when we went to the playoffs and lost to the seahawks.
Our 1 glaring need for that year was a good RB we had ameer abdulae and theo Riddick.
Did we draft a RB?!? Hellz naw?!?
We drafted jarad davis and taez tabor?!?
The following year we missed the playoffs because we couldn’t get 1 fucking win out of our last 3 games.
That’s when Quinn said 9-7 isnt good enough and fired Caldwell and brought ion his bitch ass boy patricia

We also just don't get respected throughout the league. Wasn't that Seahawks game the one where they punched the ball out of bounds and should have been a flag? Do you think that would have happened against Tom Brady or Aaron Rogers? Our market is not a respected one,
I’m trying to have a relationship that last as long as the guy who been selling these rugs on Puritan And Greenfield

Lol that's a national landmark in the city. As I was reading the post and saw "selling those rugs" knew it had to be about the puritan and Greenfield spot.I’m trying to have a relationship that last as long as the guy who been selling these rugs on Puritan And Greenfield
LeDuff: I'm Done with Subsidizing Corporations in Detroit and Michigan

LeDuff: I'm Done With Subsidizing Corporations In Detroit And Michigan
October 07, 2021, 10:37 PM by Charlie LeDuff
HUDSON'S SITE (DEADLINE DETROIT PHOTO)
The attention in Detroit public square is focused on small-time crookery. City councilmembers on the take for the equivalent of a cheap suit and a sagging bag of carryout chicken.
But the real hustle is orchestrated in the penthouse boardrooms of our so-called titans of industry, who can't seem to cobble a development deal without holding out the proverbial tin cup.
Think about it, almost every deal of consequence in Detroit since the municipal bankruptcy includes massive public subsidies. And almost none has have lived up to its promises.
Without the public guaranteeing profit, these deals would never have been done. And with the downtown bubble bursting, be warned. They're coming for more.
Financed with a heap of public money, Detroit's flagship hotel, the Westin Book Cadillac, opened in 2008.
Today, it is on the block.
The Book Goes Bust
Bought and rehabed for nearly $200 million, the latest appraisal has the hotel valued around $80 million. A real dog, in real estate vernacular.
Now the owner claims he can't make his $77-million note and is on the verge of foreclosure. He blames Covid. But the owner couldn't make his note in 2016. Or 2018.
The owner says he has a buyer out of Chicago for $77 million. Exactly the amount the owner owes his lender.
That's nice and neat. Except the buyer wants $30 million in property tax breaks from the city and county.
Do the math. The owner is made whole and gets out from under his debt. The lender is made whole and recoups his loan. The buyer gets a high-end hotel on the cheap. And the taxpayers of Detroit and Wayne County are out $30 million bucks.
Why not let the lender foreclose and find a buyer for $47 million?
Did the county wave the working stiff's taxes when he was under water?
Gilbert's Shrinking Skyscraper
Dan Gilbert
What's happening with the Hudson's Tower that was supposed to open this year? Remember? The tallest building in Michigan built by the richest man in Michigan?
Detroit gifted the prime real estate to Dan Gilbert for a dollar. Then the city and state gave him hundreds of millions of dollars in tax subsidies to build his phallus of self-aggrandizement.
Ground was broken four years ago. So far, we've got three floors and some elevator shafts. That's it. There are no anchor tenants to speak of. There is no finalized design for the main erection. Not to mention there is no demand for office space anywhere in America.
Dirt and steel get pushed around the site like a pea in a coconut shell. They try to look busy, but they look like they're stalling. The other afternoon, four ironworkers could be seen working on the structure. That's no way to make a profit.
With Gilbert hobbled by a stroke, and his wife taking a larger role in the family business, the smart money is on the building growing shorter by the day.
Big Three's Big Bet
Electric vehicles: Teriffic. Stuff of the future. Zero emissions. I'll take two.
I'll also take a slice of cheesecake that makes you skinny, a carton of cigarettes that makes you live longer and a kitty cat unicorn.
Michigan is already committed to reimbursing The Big Three billions of dollars to keep the old jobs here.
Ford got massive public handouts for its Detroit train station redevelopment and FCA got massive handouts for its Mack Avenue expansion.The promised 10,000 jobs have yet to materialize.
Meanwhile, all the new cool electric jobs of the future are going elsewhere: Tennesse, Kentucky, Mexico.
And few are asking the basic question: how is the neglected national power grid going to handle 40 million electric cars?
The grid in California is so threadbare that fire tearing through the foothills has become the fourth season in the Golden State along with floods, mudslides and earthquakes.
So brittle is the grid in Michigan, people are left to burn pots of dung for energy whenever the wind blows.
If anybody in New Orleans drives an electric car, they're probably living in it on an abandoned strip of highway on the outskirts of East Baton Rouge.
America's for-profit power grid isn't capable of handling the new load of electric cars coming on line. Who will pay for the upgrades? You, if the Biden infrastructure bill ever gets passed.
Hold on a Minute Here
But there is a problem there as well. Only (only!) $75 billion dollars is earmarked for grid improvements across the country. Experts have the cost pegged at three times higher.
All this as news has trickled out that nickle-grubbing DTE took $220 million dollars in federal Covid bailout money, passed the profit onto shareholders, and then cut power to thousands of Michigan customers behind on their bills.
I'm for electric vehicles. But I'm done with subsidizing corporations, Wall Street and eco-scolds who can already afford the cars.
The moral? Capitalism works. Corporate socialism does not. Don't say you haven't been warned.
Exactly what I've thought for years. Never see anyone pulling out of there with shit.
My home girl said she’s bought plenty of them 40$ rugs over the years.
