True, but there are lots of variables that caused that. Changes to import costs and having to set up factories here are probably a big part of that. I imagine the big three had a little bit to do with that.

Translating that to karaoke laws\prices, I wonder if domestic karaoke industry influences had anything to do with a few of the import sites being blocked in the US? (that isn't a real question) I would also think it may end up having a profound affect on prices. I would certainly think that changes to a more Euro style of licensing; having one place to go for ALL forms of licensing; would cause an increase in what we pay for material. But I think most would welcome the higher prices if it offered some clarity, sanity and peace of mind.

Great post Mr. Boo.

This is another urban myth. The auto companies do not supply the city of Detroit with much income. Most of the auto plants are located outside of Detroit and they are fairly disconnected to the cities they are in and have been since the 60's. General Motors has only 2,700 workers in the city of Detroit and most of them are office workers at world headquarters. Chrysler's headquarters are in Auburn Hills, MI and Ford is in Dearborn, MI. Whether the car companies are doing good or bad doesn't affect Detroit's economics.

Most of the current income for the city of Detroit comes from the 3 casinos in the downtown area.
