Ford fires a bunch of people in June. This looks bad for the Regime.

Ford goes to Regime and says, "Give us money or we fire MORE people."

Regime gives Ford money.

No worries. Ford will file for bankruptcy in 2 years and they will not have to repay the loan.

Farley is cruising along for another year or 2, then he will resign. He has no vision, no leadership, no innovative to take the company forward. All of the people that are working under Farley are all useless. They are hanging on to get a buyout or to get enough money so they can retire. No way this company can survive.

What are the payback terms, interest rate and years to pay off? Is the loan forgivable like some of the COVID relief programs?
