This is why you do it with a friend who often has sex with your wife/girlfriend.

His biggest mistake was deciding to change his killing habits the moment he found out that the police suspected that Kira was a student due to the time that the murders were being carried out. When he did that, L immediately realized he must've had inside information which exponentially narrowed down his search.

Him killing Lind L. Taylor narrowed the investigation down from a global scale, but all it really did was say that Kira was somewhere in one of the biggest metropolitan areas on the planet. Had he gone about his killings in the exact same fashion he was doing it, L never would've been able to narrow it down further.

Only because you blatantly ignored WHY American labor was and is prohibitively expensive - Dem-backed auto unions demanding more and more money and benefits for less and less labor.

Before the crash in the late 2000's, GM was paying $40 an hour STARTING for a person to operate a computerized torque wrench. Plus benefits. That's fuckin' insane.


A) Source for that, and
B) I can't speak for entry-level positions, but even starting specialized positions require high wages. That's not too much of a surprise.
C) Even plants in Georgia have significantly higher wages than plants in Mexico. It's not like all the jobs that still existed bolted for other sites in the US, Detroit is still the biggest auto manufacturer in the US by a wide margin.

The majority of all cars sold in the US are manufactured in the US (or the majority of their parts are, anyway)

The city's entire economy was essentially tied to a single industry, and when that went south the city couldn't handle it as they were too big to sustain itself with it mostly leaving.

Why did the industry move out though

Could it have been thanks to Democrat-backed union demands that made cars manufactured there uncompetative?


Automobile history 101

When the first gas shock hit, the American automotive industry was caught completely unprepared as they never cared about miles per gallon with their product, which opened the door to European and especially Japanese manufacturers that had been moving on that front for years, if not decades. That left us behind the 8-ball throughout the late 70s up until the mid 90s, and by the time we caught up the damage had been done. Detroit needed the American auto share to not just be a majority but a lion's share of the overall market to sustain itself, and that was no longer the case.

The downward spiral was in full effect, and overall globalization standards lead to even more jobs leaving the country for lower wages than would've been offered anywhere in the US and were also increasingly automatized. If you kept every single auto manufacturer as they always were in Detroit, the city still would've been in a horrible position as automation resulted in significantly fewer jobs, which wouldn't have been enough to remotely sustain the size that the city had grown to.

So, no. It's not a democrat versus republican thing. Fewer jobs doomed Detroit thanks inherently to automation. Cheap overseas labor doomed Detroit regardless of unions. And if you want to make any point about it, sure.... some wealthier southern cities have attracted automobile manufacturers with big tax breaks and lower worker standards compared to Detroit, but not remotely in near enough numbers for that to have saved Detroit based on the first two points.
