(51,076 posts)Back in the thirties GM and I believe Dupont conspired to buy the big cities trolleys and then let them go into disrepair and it wasn't long until they were selling the cities buses that needed tires and thats where dupont fits into this as they had just discovered nylon and nylon strings was the best thing they had at that point for use in tires.
Dupont plays heavily in the present day pot laws that basically went into effect during the same time. Nylon had Hemp fibers as a competitor and dupont needed the business that hemp fibers had. Best I remember poppys grand dad was mixed up in all this too.
Anyways do some research on the terms I gave you and see what you can find. surely it hasn't been scrubbed. But then again no telling what google is/was up too that increased their bottom line like its been enhanced so far.
