What Scared Ford's CEO in China (wsj.com)

Outsourcing car manufacturing to China, apparently the cause of and solution to all of Ford's problems.

Perhaps one day he'll learn that you can hire professionals to do value engineering rather than half ass it on the fly for a "great man" micromanagement anecdote to end a credulous puff piece.


I never want to hear again that a public CEO is a leader

There’s nothing leadership here. This is pure investor avarice laundered through a psychopath who had the highest ability to debase himself and the employees with a smile and mealy mouthed public statements that protect the investor class

How many cycles of investors hire a CEO to find ways to cut labor costs at all cost with no thought to the benefit of the workforce are we going to continue to accept?

Oh sorry I forgot, he’s working towards that platonic source of all value: the stock price which just happens to have been smuggled into the working person’s “employer matched Blue Chip 401K” - that way we’re all exposed to this risk

Unreal. Meanwhile the mouth breathers voting for fascists will claim this was all a govt plot (instead of understanding regulatory capture)
