Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Can’t build cars and trucks right, Missles?

Push the button and nothing happens (people die). Can’t recall Patriot systems deployed.

From Ford Authority:
Ford has a long history of supplying the U.S. military with various goods, beginning way back during World War I and extending to World War II, as well as the Korean and Vietnam wars. As Ford Authority recently reported, the Trump administration previously approached Ford and other automakers regarding the possibility of shifting some capacity to we-pons production, and Ford CEO Jim Farley later confirmed that the automaker was "in early discussions with the U.S. government on some defense-related projects" - as well as the European Union, too.

Now, those talks have seemingly progressed, as U.S. President Donald Trump recently revealed that both Ford and General Motors are in discussions with defense contractors that could result in the repurposing of certain plants for we-pons production, according to CBS News. Trump noted that those we-pons include things like the Patriot and the Tomahawk missile.

@p9
100% incorrect -

The "BlueCruise Missile" would have groundbreaking tech so advanced, no advisory in the universe would have a chance.......

@kb This probably isn't far off, our missiles would be so low quality North Korea may be the only country interested...

@ms not quite. The EMPLOYEES have to protect themselves from management. You've been at Ford how long? Let me help: Too long. Cultures NEVER Change. "Fit, or git"!

This company just can't stop harassing its employees. Sounds like an integrity issue to me. Not sure I'd trust them with national defense if they can't even protect their own people from management.

@dv Try selling toilet paper. Plenty of vehicle designs available for recycling that way.

Brilliant! Have Ford build missiles, then we sell them to our enemies. When our enemies use them, they blow up and catch fire just like Ford's ICE and electric vehicles do! NO MORE ENEMIES! Who says Ford can't provide value? 🙃

Other possible government business we can pursue is leveraging our software, data, and services expertise.

AOC has weighed in that she only supports this if H1B workers are used.
