"I stopped reading after 5 sentences. The author of the article is so fundamentally confused about literally everything going on that the article ends up in a chaotic mishmash that's downright idiotic." Well said Koraks.
I stopped after one sentence. Acetate manufacturing ended in June of 2013 and the building scrapping began in mid-2014. By April of 2015 the machines were all cut apart.
As for "Big Jim", he was great at throwing all previous leadership under the bus, including the CEO ahead of him (who stopped the closure of the film business), but he never mentions that he was on the board for many of the years he would throw those under the bus. If they were so bad, why wasn't he speaking up? I was a fan of him for about four weeks.
