3M is one of the companies with connections to the Vanderbilt family and railroad, historically.
William McKnight, former 3M exec, was heavily involved in (((thoroughbred breeding and racing))).
Through the horse Dr. Fager, McKnight owned through Tartan Stables, he sold offspring to Alfred Vanderbilt and Paul Mellon.
I'm still digging but geographically they're "up next" after the McCormick family in Chicago. The spread of the railroads west makes the rise of these major industries something of a time line from East to West.
I have to say, of all the Voat channels doing research into this stuff, this one is the most in depth. Less speculation and just using phrases and more actual uncovering the connections I confess I don’t do enough and more just lurk. But I find your stuff the most intriguing and enlightening. Sounds like 3M is a key player in all this, and now Trump calling them out and taking reigns. Serious sauce here.

Think I have some digging to do too.
