We used to build things here ( GM content)

Yes, GM used to build lots of things here, then it failed to adapt to reality. Now it only exists because of government hand outs. The end.

This reminded me of a story I heard on the radio about NUMMI. It was a joint venture between Toyota and GM, where GM was to learn the art of lean production. Specifically, that it was OK to stop the production line if a worker saw a problem. The Toyota factory even plays a pleasant jingle over the PA when the line stops so as not to cause any distress among workers.

Here is the wiki link for a brief overview, but any google search will get you more info if want to read more.

Figured this would be a proper place to share that info.

NUMMI is being used by Tesla now.

I wonder what happened to the CAMI plant?
