This. And they build a lot better products than Ford while using US workers, supply chain, and proportionally more domestic parts.

Chevy makes many of their trucks in Mexico. They are total shite now. frick Ford and Chevy. The Tundra, from a Japanese company..... is more American than Ford and Chevy. All are made in USA with a high percentage of American parts.

Given enough time Comrade biden will screw over all the unions, like this and the keystone.

And like he does with the black vote. Is BLM still trying to setup a meeting with biden? They had been ignored since the election last I heard.

Its like promising a girl something to get her in the sack, then never calling her again.

Ford may not be able to see into the future, but they don't have to be clairvoyant to know they are going to be pay considerably more taxes because the left has convinced their voters that big corporations don't deserve tax breaks, no matter how much domestic employment they provide.
Never try to understand progressive logic, because it doesn't exist.

They are reaping what they have sown. I have no sympathy for them nor anyone that voted Democrat that later gets hit with their policies.

Remember when the Dems used to recruit union workers? Now they just recruit the union leaders and tell the union leaders to make their workers vote D. Trump broke that play, but nobody is jumping in to get their support now that Trump is out. Big opportunity for the GOP to grab some influence in the blue collar industries

They voted for this. My level of sympathy is very, very close to zero.

When I special ordered a Mustang there were all kinds of delays having to do with strikes in Mexico and part shortages. Hell the transmission and wheels were made in China, I am sure more was that I don't know about. Seems like the entire interior was made in Mexico. It just makes sense to build where the parts are made and there is cheaper labor.

Poor souls.

Maybe they should learn to code.

Elections have consequences, so they say.

The UAW and the state of Ohio


The state voted pretty overwhelmingly for Trump... and if my personal observations are anything you go off of (all union members I know voted for Trump), I bet a majority of the UAW members did as well. It's not what they voted for, and in the end, it helps ONLY the ones that did
