It's all going towards padding some politician's pockets, probably Mike Duggan, or some billionaire who doesn't need handouts. Well I know what your talking about, but the point I was making is if you move out to say bumfuck NC, don't expect to have garbage pickup or a decent education for your kids, but the cost of living will be "cheaper" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The less of the man involved in my daily, the better. I can handle most of that myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at it as a warning shot to the union. I agree with you, you’re basically saying that Ford is trying to quiet any potential labor strife next year. Fulfilling promised investments in Michigan and now OHAP who had been promised electric EV crossovers removed. So Flat Rock will remain one shift going forward???

Think retirees on fixed incomes with big 5er's, young guys that don't need a big truck, and the type that lives on the financial edge that will be priced out of the market. Also consider what is about to happen in Washington D.C., you know it's a matter of time before other states look consider the same thing. That is except California where it's been that way for years: https://www.thedrive.com/news/washington-dc-wants-heavy-truck-owners-to-pay-big-500-annual-fee Our diesel prices are even higher than CA and as a retiree, I am happy with my new F-450. Purchasing fuel is a small percentage of the overall cost of owning a vehicle. I can also fill the tank in minutes, unlike a BEV, which also won't tow 16,500 lbs. Don't recall any discussion on the SD Forum of bailing due to fuel prices. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been hearing they're gearing up for a second shift. Perhaps they thi k the new Mustang will be a hot seller ? They were very vague as to the plant-by-plant breakout of investments and jobs.

Perhaps lots of international orders for the new Mustang is adding to activity.. Once Ford starts getting more chips, the shackles are going to come off production constraints… Edited June 3, 2022 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
