4. I'm more worried about the priceless works of art in the DIA.

The sports teams will be fine as they're highly profitable businesses owned by billionaires. The artwork in the DIA was purchased by our tax dollars including a recent mileage passed by Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties to help fund operations. Will this be sold off after we just paid to keep it?

I'm also more interested in what happens to the police and fire departments. What happens to the schools? What happens to all the city services that need to function in order for people to survive?

This is all very scary.
