Venn Diagrams for Flint Expatriates

Can Venn diagrams be used to simply sum up complex situations. This Venn by Jessica Hagy at thisindexed.com captures a lot of the emotions swirling around Flint. But it also leaves out much of the nuance that defines the feelings of residents and expatriates alike.

Perhaps a more elaborate Venn — like the one below that attempts to capture "Things That Are Bad" — would be in order for Flint.

Thanks to grumkin for this idea.

Oh man I love this. I love the original one. That sums up Flint to a "T" and I don't mean Model T.

I gotta say the "Things that are Bad" diagram is very amusing. However, I have to admit that I had to look up who Fred Durst, Dale Peck and Kreplach were. I'm not sure if that says something bad about me or not but them Kreplachs look suspiciously like potstickers in which case I'd say they're not bad at all!

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
