@b5 I cannot get this out of my head, can you explain?
@q6 That same house probably costs five times what it did back in those days, have the wages gone up the same? How about everything else? It's easy to say that food is cheap when a gallon of milk costs the same as it did 30 years ago when you ignore that beef now costs five times what it did...
You people need to quit complaining about affordability. There is no affordability crisis. The stock market has been better this administration than it ever was years ago. People just don't want to work - or to work hard - anymore.
In the early 80s I bought a house - cost 70k - and the interest rate was so much higher than what you cry babies face today. But I worked hard as a line worker and my wife stayed home and took care of the kids. We always had enough to eat and went on a vacation every summer during shut down.
You all don't know how just how good you have it! Including my son! He is a line worker at the same plant I worked at and he swears he can't afford the same things that I afforded at his age. But his salary is more than double what mine was!
@d3
..or afford for that matter. We have people going into some serious debt for something that is essentially a pile of $hit the minute it leaves the dealer lot. Fix, fix, fix, drive for a few months...fix again. Rinse and repeat. If you work there please make sure you squeeze every last ounce of juice from the turnip before you move on. If this isn't your mentality then you are playing the game wrong. If you have some kind of romantic idea that you are "helping the future of mobility" give me a break and dream your dream. You'll end up going through a layoff that YOU didn't see coming because you had the corporate kool-aid blinders on.
Wow, this is astonishing, I didn't see that coming.
@b5 Don't you mean town bike, everyone's had a ride?
@ac, just cause they're worth trillions doesn't mean their products haven't turned to sh-t. Stpid people will fanboy and buy cr-p products. That's why Ford no longer sells affordable sedans cause people wanna cck themselves with massive SUVs and trucks that arguably most people can't even control on the roads.
If my grandmother had wheels she would have a been a bike
And JF said “we’ve got to land this plane”. LOL
News headlines in 2030: Ford takes a $50B charge as it shifts its strategy. JF said we need to land this rocket. We will have an awesome lineup in 2035!!!! :)
@ac too bad the Apple Cobblers won’t be able to make Ford worth that. Snowballs chance in he-l!
@a3 Apple is worth over $4 Trillion.
@aa You can make fun of this as much as you like, but if this had been successful we'd all be millionaires due to the bonus structure.
Han “Farley” Solo was quoted as saying the P800 was the Millennium Falcon of trucks.
Now it and V801 join U759 in the Death Star scrap bin. $$$
@a1 Well, I guess there is no future anymore.
$19.5B loss and get to keep your job. what a country. sign me up.
Told you so!
@a2, Steve Jobs actually delivered things. Apple went to sh!t after he died too.
and then he's going to his Steve Jobs impersonation, "and one more thing ..."
The P800 is the future of this company.
