Comment on Marc Andreessen: Turn Detroit Into Drone Valley

Comments

Definitely. If there is a municipality which, for a myriad of reasons, isn't winning the current cycle of competition for industry, definitely deregulate the crap out of it and use it as a test bed for the products designed and built by Silicon Valley. It's the closest thing to the third world, am I right?

The more he tweetstorms and drops half-baked opinion pieces, the more I see him as having been smoking crack while watching TED talks on repeat.

Detroit is not some one-dimensional shit hole ripe (it's multidimensional and not ripe) for taking on the burden of someone's experiments. It's like municipal eugenics or something?
