Thanks Ford

Saw that very thing playout in my hometown. Eastman Kodak Co. practically built our city. Back in the 70's everyone had a family member that worked there if not their whole family. Times were good, great middle class wages with benefits and lots of disposable income. Unfortunately they put all their eggs in a basket or two and banked on film photography going into the future. Don't see many cameras these days, nor anyone who has a job at that shell of a company.

Same Same in the Johnson City Bristol area. My former sis in law is a chemical engineer. Her first job out of Vandy was at Eastman. She HATED working there and currently works at an ammo manufacturing place in the area. Eastman was the place to work years ago.

I guess if all the jobs move to Mexico, we’ll have to illegally enter their country for jobs, instead of vice versa.

The difference is !!! If you enter Mexico ILLEGALLY and they catch you, unlike our Country that welcomes you with open arms. Mexico will through you in jail and you'll never be seen again. Watch what you wish for. Maybe we should learn from Mexico? Hmmm..

What board? If you don't mind sharing.

The TFF has freedom of speech, it’s called the bunker.

Maybe Mexico will pay for the wall after all.

There is NO MORE WALL. They're letting them all in for free.

The problem with the big 3 in Detroit is the younger work force, the older guys took pride in building automobiles. Now it’s a different culture, I’m not surprised....

Yeah, right because those cars from the 70's and 80's were such quality automobiles. And that was the generation that was getting $30+/hour to hammer hub caps on with full medical and retirement after 30 years.

I guess we can't blame NAFTA anymore, seeing that it was replaced by pretty much the same thing and lies a couple of years ago. Did Toyota start making the Tacoma in Mexico yet, it was announced shortly after the agreement was signed, this should ease any "crisis" at the border by creating more jobs in Mexico

It sounds like $ 140 billion of fords debt is for their car financing division. I assume that debt gets paid by the loan holders of Ford vehicles. I have a five year loan from them at 0 %, and won’t miss a payment (I never checked, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the rate changes if I am late on a payment). I hope they keep healthy, I have a Ford Ranger and really like it. I would buy another. But I have never bought a vehicle assembled outside the US, and won’t start now.
I think companies are waisting billions on developing autonomous vehicles. I wonder when the CEOs will realize they’ve been bamboozled by the engineers.

What? I know a guy retired from FORD who would drink so much at lunch his supervisor would tell him to go home, his response - I will as soon as I sober up enough to drive!

Entering Mexico illegally is not treated the same as entering the US illegally. The Mexicans take their borders seriously.

As does every country I have ever visited, with the exception of home

Don't get so triggered pal, I’m just stating what I know.
