It is in Ford’s best interest to keep other forgien cars out of the US. If Americans were really free to shop forgien cars the US car companies would all go under.
Trump will keep out “bad forgien cars”
Tairiffs are just a cost they pass down to consumers when there are no other options for the consumer other than domestic cars built with tariffed parts.
Silver lining though, cars will get more expensive, which might spur more public transit. Heh… at the very least it will make walkable places a little more desirable.
Oh cars will get more expensive, but you think America will lean towards public transit? Auto manufacturers will just bitch and moan about how they can’t sell their $145,000 entry level sedan, and the government will just bail them out with your tax money.
What, you don’t want to pay $1500 a month for a Ford Focus?
I’m hoping this means we’ll actually get a high speed rail line from Toronto to Quebec City sometime this century instead of just having another shelved study.
That is total bullshit they could build all the parts in the country, preposterous to claim otherwise. The president is a piece of shit, and will ruin ford, but the parts could easily all be made in america, and were all made in america, probably in living memory.
Now everyone is defending neo liberalism because the president co opted anger at so called free trade.
While at work you are representing the company and have to act accordingly. Aside from any personal feelings about what he said, what he did is really unprofessional and could cause reputational damage to the company.
I agree with what he said but yelling that at work during a visit is just not a great idea.
This is not like representing the company at a picnic or charity event. This is PR for the aspiring fascist dictator, who is leaving us with a legacy of a soon to be supreme leaders fixing elections and ruling in a reign of terror scapegoating others for problems. Also one that fucked children with epstein and let himself get caught on tape doing it so now a foreign intelligence agency (israel,) has proof that would ruin him making him at their disposal. Also a lifelong blackmailer himself, such an enigma, a child fucking blackmailing enigma.
Fuck the company and their stroking off the guy betraying the country that allowed ford to become great. They are fools to trust the party, and will be destroyed by them, because they and their ilk were trying to prevent a little reform to restore the glory of the republic to the post war years.
I’m all for the sentiment, I just tried to explain what sort of stance the company is working from and why being suspended or fired wouldn’t be surprising.
Oh yeah the president and his people are think skinned to say the least. They would have the guy executed if they could. The company would be looking at transparent penalties if they didn’t fire the guy.
They should reinstate him with his union though, idk how it works in auto, but other unions will get guys reinstated with back pay for being fired contrary to the contract.
I would not be surprised if they didn’t try and investigate the guy with federal prosecutors, but we are not quite there yet where those prosecutions would make it to trial.
Wait? Suspended? Why?
What did he do that was wrong?
Ford is complying with dear leader while dear leader is actively fucking Ford by cutting trade with Canada.
I used to work in automotive manufacturing. The amount of parts to build cars cannot come from just America. It’s impossible.
Trump is beating the shit out of Ford and they’re just standing there asking for more.
Parts yes. Cars no.

They know what they are doing.

If people can’t afford cars, they’ll just create subsidies using middle class tax money.
I’m hoping this means we’ll actually get a high speed rail line from Toronto to Quebec City sometime this century instead of just having another shelved study.
Ford would bitch and moan so American safety regulations would be cut back to help lower costs of cars
Ford doesn’t sell the Focus anymore because the US hates reasonably sized vehicles.

No they weren’t, not since like 1950.
I mean, insulting someone on a tour of your plant is pretty unprofessional
I’d even say that it was a bad thing to do, if the insulted tour-goer wasn’t the lowest scum of the earth XD
is it even an insult when just saying a fact?
The ones that are true hurt the most!
He hurt baby’s feelings.
Corporation gonna corporate and protect its money
Insulted Der Führer. This would have been an exaggeration not that long ago, but now it’s simply fact.

That dude was representing his union not Ford Motor Company.
Just because some company says “you are representing FORD” … the CEO of Ford doesn’t drive a Ford … is he get a pass because he is rich ?
You don’t represent a company. You represent yourself.
