Artists Flee Trump’s “Great American State Fair” As Music Event Collapses
An analysis revealed that Atlantic Industrial Coatings secured a federal contract, reportedly its first, without competition and with an unusually high profit margin. The company is charging the government an estimated $850,000 more than the industry standard, a situation exacerbated by being allowed to begin work before a price was finalized. This gave Atlantic Industrial Coatings significant leverage, allowing them to dictate terms on a project crucial for a national anniversary. The company’s listed headquarters also appear to be a modest facility in an unincorporated area of Virginia, with no prior online reviews before a recent, likely satirical, one-star rating.
