GM was very interested in buying up trolleys and interurbans and getting them shipped out of the country ~ they wanted to sell cars, and imagined they could push the issue of building better roads for those cars to ride on if there were no rail options for local and regional travel.
Sounds bizarre, but they worked with others to dismantle interurban systems and city trollies. They didn't get them all though.
Now, how was it the US government ended up with a serious ownership position in the new GM as it took over the old GM records?
Was it the Eichman connection, or maybe it was Hitler, or other henchmen! And why is it Obamugabe finds it so easy to work with these guys if he is not, himself, a Nazi?
You’ve got to be joking on this one, right?
