Detroit is a beloved city and I like to watch how she has been progressing (I think Detroit is a She? or He? I'm not sure. 🤷). We also thought we lost the auto industry but we now have made a full circle back to bring it where it belongs....in Michigan. Our world is going to start changing very rapidly in a few years and new technologies many of us have never seen will be hitting the market. Most of that is going to happen is likely to happen in the next 5 years.+-
When we first lost a big investment to another state, I was concerned but then a couple of smaller announcements came out that hinted the EV market was likely to head this way (Michigan has a unique investor aroma.). The state turn around success came from pushing on the gas peddle at exactly the right time when the market was scrambling for investment safe haven and when the market was fidgeting. Michigan offered a solution (Some would say pure luck, but I would say a strategic choice by the state in a fog/murky waters as investors were unsure of what to do next. When you offer something at the time it solves a problem, the world responds. Sometimes you get luck and sometimes you don't.)
Other semi-related light economic reading (Its not necessarily directly related but it is part of a trend and there is some relation between economies that are becoming entrepreneurial oriented {I know someone must be chuckling out other}. Yes, Esky could be a itself a start up lab. I'm not saying it is, but I suppose one could do that if there was enough pack investing going on and easy in and out access. Detroit is on a large scale and Escanaba is on a small scale. Both have been punched in the gut when executives sold out for a few pennies on the share and went overseas. {Welcome back! Didn't work out?😂} If both systems function it could make a case for an avenue national scale {Infrastructure+Advanced Manufacturing/Digital Era Tech+Human Capital = Market Lead}. I mean in hypothetical abstraction land of Axis Mundi): Hedge Invest, EV-MI Infrastructure, Keep on Truckin!, Esky Jail, Forest Process, Esky Business and Fun, Esky Downtown, SME, Ford Doubles Down, Ford 2 billion, CEO Venture, GM President, GM Announces, Pure MI, Esky EMP, Digital Capital, Made in America, ShipBuilding, Start-up Esky, Full Bloom, Escanaba Harbor, Esky Redevelop, The Queen, China Trade, $5 Billion MI, Could MI EV, US Outperform China, Digital Explosions? (I wonder if cities can partner to bring executives up here to Escanaba. It used to be a straight 1 hour flight to the Detroit. I'm thinking a few design firms for testing new auto technology and parts would make sense. A place to come and be creative. An amazingly different environment with creative juices everywhere. An opportunity to expose and connect. Lots of land!)
