It all sounded like smoke and mirrors to me, so I've been resisting, but today I finally took time to learn about bitcoins. In short, it still looks like smoke and mirrors. It appears it's creating value where there is none. And, I'm sorry to say, I don't like that Elio got into this. You...
" there will soon be a void in the commuter vehicle market." Seriously, ya think so? I'll bet there won't be a void very long, the Asians will jump right in and fill it, sending more manufacturing overseas.
You stated the problem and stated the reason for the problem in the same post. Why can't Elio get the ATVM loan? Because they didn't "make the politicians & the union bosses very rich."
I'm certainly no lawyer, but doesn't EM have a legal agreement with Caddo Parish and didn't EM promise to bring all those jobs to Shreveport? And... didn't EM strip the plant of all the "unusable" equipment and sell it off? Sounds to me like they are committed to the good people of Shreveport...
With the news of the GM closings and Mr. Trump talking about how he doesn't like it and wants more American manufacturing, isn't now the time for Elio to do all they can to get a feature about their car on the evening news?
A few years back the powers that be wanted to put public transportation down the middle of much of Main Street and some other routes. As the debate went on as to how to do it, I was hoping for a monorail. But, alas, they opted for a tram system (essentially a bunch of streetcars). Now...
The lack of transparency and info coming from Elio is right in line with the rule I've stated before. The key to handling an unavoidable and unpleasant situation is, "Stall, postpone and delay."
It's a damn shame, but I no longer think we'll ever get our cars. :oops:
Enough already! This useless dribble from Elio is supposed to keep us enthusiastic, but it's just pissing me off !!!! We have this forum for useless dribble.
Elio's weekly emails should be giving us news and info, not mindless pablum. If they don't have anything worthwhile to say, then shut...
I just went to a meeting of guys who are into headphone listening. After hearing some portable rigs that cost several times what mine did I'm convinced what I have is about as good as you can get in a portable rig.... and at a reasonable price. If you're looking for better sound in personal...
Seems to me any get together would be kind of pointless if we don't have any cars. When and if we do get the cars we can have a rally and thank Paul and praise his contributions then. If we never get the cars I for one plan on doing a lot of pissing and moaning in private.
