Sort of begs the question...how the hell do you have 3000 white collar jobs that are expendable in the first place?

So what happens to the gulf coast when we get a major hurricane that knocks out electricity and a large portion of customers are without power for 3+ weeks. They then lose the ability to go to the gas station to get fuel for their generator to run at least the fridge to keep their infants milk from spoiling and maybe a small AC unit. I don’t have a problem with evs but this whole ‘all vehicles must be EV in the future’ idea is incredibly short sighted if not down right ignorant. The ICE revolutionized pretty much everything in a way that EVs have not been proven to be able to do much less replace.

They are probably utilizing Chinese tech support all the while allowing the ip theft that leads to their own demise.

What happened to Ford, remember when they declined the money from Obama and told him to frick off?

Climate change is a hoax.

Just another money laundering scheme.

I never want an electric vehicle. Never.

I wonder who the majority of those 3000 autoworkers voted for?

The current CEO is shameless.

They've obviously jumped all in with government and the green movement but what got me was the CEO going on Mad Money, pretending Ford is a tech company because they partnered with Salesforce to put their software in the new electric trucks. The EV bros online were eating it up.

I then made some decent beer money shorting tgeir stock from $23ish to $17.

It’s sad to see such a major corporation like ford committing suicide openly. Henry Ford must be screaming in his grave.

Seems to be the case.

They are all in (Ford) by the commercials/adds that they are putting out but, for folks like me, that haul substantial loads, an EV won't and never will cut it. Not sure what Ram and Chevy are doing but, I may have to look to them in the future.

Sweeeeeet. Want a 100,000 dollar truck that can’t tow your trailer 100 miles without recharging for 3 hours? Come on down!!

I reeeeallly hope 99/100 of those laid off morons voted for this. Hey Detroit libs?? Wanna know how to be more green? Lose your job and therefore be more green when you aren’t driving to your 6 figure job anymore.

Better save that severance! Inflation is still on the March!

What white collar jobs are we talking about? Are they eliminating or moving? The global company I worked for moved most of their N. American accounting jobs to Central America.
