Motives are hard to evaluate online at best. I have encountered more people online than in person who enjoy the attention and sense of control by purposefully saying things which are untrue. I can easily understand someone pitching a burning bag of shit in here and watching us stomp on it. I totally agree with taking much on the Internet with a grain of salt.
easy on the salt (oil and sugar) all three are killing us!

This disturbing item in USA TODAY.

Suspicious news.

From USA TODAY Ex-GM plant idle awaiting radical 3-wheel car SHREVEPORT, La. -- Shreveport's former General Motors Assembly Plant could soon be spinning textiles even if it never boots up its vehicle assembly lines to make an unusual three-wheeled car. A company called the Gulf Coast Spinning Company will relocate to the shuttered factory even though a startup automaker, Elio Motors, has been taken space in the same facility. Elio Motors rents approximately 1.5 million square feet of the former GM assembly plant from industrial developer Stuart Lichter which holds the lease to the 4.1 million square foot building. Elio Motors did not respond to multiple requests for interviews. Licter, president and board chairman the Industrial Realty Group, also sits on Elio's board. He also did not respond to an interview request. Onno Steger, IRG's real estate director, said he could not speak about Elio or Gulf Coast Spinning Company. http://usat.ly/1MwkiaW Get USA TODAY on your mobile device: http://www.usatoday.com/mobile-apps Jim and Marybeth Planck
Dear Disturbed, It's easy to see why a textile company might be Elio's next door neighbor in this tiny 4.1 million square feet facility...( give me some elbow room PLEASE !) ...this day in age it would not be impossible for Elio it's suppliers and a textile company being in one mega facility with today's bright designers and plant site developers working to reach a working solution at the fraction of the cost that it would cost any one individual company to bear all the cost themselves ! Additional docks built to service each company....etc. Large companies have got to work their businesses smarter in this economy and to say this facility has got to be ALL MINE ! ...and their bottom-line suffers when they find out their company could be just as effective in 1.5 million square feet instead of 4.1 square feet ! Electricity consumption has got to be worth a substantial savings alone ! This suggestion is more than a good idea...it causes one to think about the possibilities when you work together to solve problems...NOT always taking the one way solution of who gets the facility ?....( ...just sayin' )
