Anonymous Coward User ID: 30194388 United States 02/17/2017 03:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | boycotts don´t work, Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74089865 let me explain, in mexico people wanted to boycott starbucks to protest trump, but that would only hurt mexican workers, because starbucks in mexioc has mexican workers, same thing with ford, ford has plants in canada too, they do this to stay competitive in the global market, so by boycotting ford you are shooting your own foot, it is a kneejerk reaction that has no logical purpose, first of all ford is not responsible for thye fact that you don´t haver a representative govt. how about boycotting congress? that would make more sense, since congress is the group the makes the laws, ford does not make laws, ford is a company, their pupose is to make a profit and stay competitive, if they don´t do this, they will go belly up and then you will feel the cinammon, Oh No! I don't want to feel the cinammon... PS: What is the cinammon? |

SaveUSa User ID: 72547332 United States 02/17/2017 03:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ford is sticking with its plan to build two new factories in Mexico, despite an announcement last month that it had scrapped plans for a plant in the central state of San Luis Potosi. Quoting: COMRADE Voluntaryist The US carmaker said a planned factory in the central state of Guanajuato will build engines and transmissions, while another in the northern city of Chihuahua will make car parts for use by Ford factories in the United States SOURCE: [link to www.yahoo.com (secure)] Tesla is more American than Ford now I think. Tesla, I think, is now the leader in American auto manufacturing, as far as % of all parts made and assembled in the USA. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. the time to boycott ford was when Ford supported the Nazis sooooooooo this pales in comparison No issues. When they try to pass the cost of those new tariffs along to the customer, nobody will buy their vehicles anymore. That said, kinda wondering if they think they know something we don't... Within the surreal depths of "reality" lies the truth. |
Munsoned User ID: 51111974 United States 02/17/2017 03:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Naa, Ford F-150 series is the best selling vehicle in North America for over a decade. 395,000 were sold in US from june 2015 to june 2016, up 10.7% [link to www.goodcarbadcar.net] and 56,000 in Canada for same time frame up 28%; [link to www.goodcarbadcar.net] Outside of their trucks, the cars and SUVs are cheaply made and break down quickly. They generally put effort in the f-150 trucks. I drove an old Ford Explorer when they first came out, and it cost about $250 a month in maintenance after the 3rd year. My Ex had an 03 Exploder. It shot out 4 of the 8 plugs out of the head. Major design flaw they never owned up to. Tell me about it, I had an 04 and at 80k the motor went, the bearings went on both sides and the fucking paint started falling off. The damn thing was garage kept. Then I find out this was a major problem with many of thier cars for years with the paint and Ford said FU! This was my nineth Ford. Never again! Freedom requires breathing room, the Constitution presupposes that there will be some crazies among us so that the rest of us can enjoy freedom. - Judge Andrew Napolitano A huge shit cloud is coming! |
