The business sense is obvious in bombing the hell out of other countries such that American corporations can be paid to go into them and rebuild them. The beauty example here is the U.S. Ambassador who brokered the deal with Bechtel for a billion-dollar highway project in Kosovo ... is now working for Bechtel to get that big cash payoff for services rendered.
Iraq is the all-time favorite as the bill is up around a trillion and a half dollars and it couldn't be more of a failure if they had sought bin Laden's advice. Yet even now additional dollars go there to support the same puppet regime that's shown itself to be incapable of running the country. The business sense in that is obvious.
After thirty years in the corporate world and ten of those just as close to the corporation's satanic heart as you can get, I will not suffer any further beatdowns from the right wing. Every time there was a war there would be jingoistic right wing crap all over the place and you will support the war effort, won't you. Thirty years of this bullshit.
Whether there is business sense in rebuilding Detroit is irrelevant. You'll do it anyway as the other choice is to let it burn to the ground. Given how much has been poured down overseas toilets, it's a national embarrassment that nothing has been done already.
Note: there are ten other U.S. cities rated too dangerous to visit due to very high rates of crime. It was the same symptom behind all of them as one or more corporations pulled out and the local economies collapsed. As we see in Detroit, Flint, and one city after the other, the corporation bore no responsibility for it and there is no consideration elsewhere either.
