What's Good For GM Was Only Ever Good For GM, If That

The story of Poletown and a 40 year story of insanity.  The key takeaway probably is the fact that the Detroit-Hamtramck plant never paid off the way it was promised by GM.  Even the robots didn't work after GM failed to employ anywhere near the number of people that said they would.  This was a fuck up piled upon a fuck up on top of a clusterfuck.  Plus, it's Roger Smith from the flick that made Michael Moore a multi-millionaire who was the prime mover of this disaster.  40 years of futility, and it will all probably lead to a shuttered plant next year.  Genius!  Thanks, Trump!
