America continues to lose! Ford to lay off workers because tariffs have cost $1B

[Ray From Cleveland]

Lol oh you mean like what corporations in general do? In this case, they cited the tariffs as a reason. If the tariffs were helping, why would they pretend otherwise!

It was predictable.

And it will have a ripple effect as fewer vehicles to sell results in fewer salesmen, fewer porters, fewer finance people…. Happening at a bad time as well because all vehicles price will necessarily go up due to the tariffs so that will hurt demand as well so it’s not as if the lost jobs will just transfer over to another dealer/manufacturer.

Go ahead tell us your solution, continue allowing other countries to take our jobs and steal our property? None of you dumb ass leftwits have a single idea or solution.

The US has, by far, the highest top to bottom standard of living in the history of the planet. If other nations were doing what you were stating; it would not be the case.

Where trade infractions are present, there are bodies in place to address them. The WTO, for example.

We are still waiting. You people bitch and complain about wages, lack of decent paying jobs, the erosion of the middle class. Then you idiots turn right around and allow other countries to steal those jobs. This is why nobody likes you people.

Yet Hillary got 3 million more votes than her opponent.

Yes she did, from California--one state.

Having the government artificially manipulate the economy is a great idea! It worked so well for the Soviets!

Sounds like fake news. Propaganda. I’ll just wait for the real story on Fox.

So, it means only one state gained her the popular vote--not the entire country.

So long as it hurts the Chinese more than it does the US, we should be able to force them back to the table.

Ford Motor Company is planning to cut some of its staff over time as the company begins to reorganize its salaried workforce to become a more fit business.

NBC News reported on Monday that the plans are part of Ford's $25.5 billion reorganization plan that intends to cut costs by, among other things, making its staff leaner and reducing layers.

"A lot of the [reorganization] is about making different choices about strategy," Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told NBC News.

A spokesperson for Ford told The Hill that the exact amount of employees that will be cut as part of this move is unknown. But a report from Morgan Stanley estimated a "global headcount reduction of approximately 12 percent" of its 202,000 workforce around the world, according to NBC.

"Such a magnitude of reduction is not without precedent in the auto industry," the analysts wrote in the investment note, NBC News noted.

The automaker has lagged behind competitors in sales and has also been adversely impacted by Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs, according to NBC.

Lol this is hilarious. How about you read the last line of your own article?

Oh, you mean this????

Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be if you have a basic understanding of economics.

Ford announces plan to lay off workers after tariffs cost them $1B

....says the party whose leaders believe record unemployment, higher wages, bonuses, & fewer Americans on Welfare / Food Stamps are BAD for the country...who would prefer to have done nothing and let other nations continue to take advantage of us due to crappy previous deals....

There is no winners when you start a trade war. Everyone loses. The only thing they're good for is skyrocking prices back to the consumer. Consumers cut back on their purchases, and the job lay-offs begin in every sector of the economy.

We've been there done that before.
The Great Depression Lesson About ‘Trade Wars’

Congress has to approve changes to any existing trade agreements. Trump can't do it himself. As Bob Woodward's book describes most of Trump's tariff rhetoric is nothing more than crazy ivan hyperbole to throw a bone to his ignorant Nationalist base to keep them intact.

Both Republicans and Democrats are historically free trade, so he's not going anywhere with his threats. It's just his political strategy. And unfortunately there's way too many STUPID people in this country that are easily manipulated by someone like Trump who VOTE.

Imagine that, Ford has a tendency to lay off workers often.
Ford's '20,000' layoff number — cited by Challenger's jobs report — is wildly inaccurate
Ford Expected to Temporarily Lay Off Thousands of Workers At Michigan Plant
Ford to lay off 2,000 workers at Michigan plant for Ranger, Bronco retooling
Ford Laying Off 130 Workers in Ohio on Softer Demand for Work Trucks
Ford wants to lay off 380 workers from Louisville Assembly Plant

Lol oh you mean like what corporations in general do? In this case, they cited the tariffs as a reason. If the tariffs were helping, why would they pretend otherwise!

So there is noooooooooooooooo chance that the layoffs are due to the fact that Ford is poorly managed ?

You can't be talking about me! I love the concept of American consumers paying more for their purchases! Tariffs (another name for taxes) are good for you and me! I am just a little sad that you will have to pay my share, because, being retired, I really have little need to buy anything. But, when your Walmart bill goes from $80 to $110, be sure to send a thank you note to Donald!

So you are ok with Wal Mart screwing small American-made store owners out of business with cheap goods made from foreign countries who commit espionage, take advantage of us via trade, ignore copywrite laws and steal our technology, etc as long as you get cheaper prices....

Copy that....

Liberals have been preaching Trump's 'failed foreign negotiations', warming of doom and gloom ... and being proven wrong as the countries they said would walk or kick Trump's ass have instead negotiated / agreed to more US-friendly deals....

Strongest economy in decades

Lowest unemployment in decades

Manufacturing jobs Obama said would NEVER come back are back

More full-time jobs

Higher wages, raises, bonuses

Most Americans working ever

Fewer Americans on social programs

NATO agreeing to pay their fair share of their defense

Mexico and Canada agreeing to new trade agreements...

....but not everyone / EVERY company is doing great at this moment so Trump is a huge failure and sucks....?!

Shut up......

Weird how tariffs and forms of tariffs have been working for China, Europe, Canada and well just about every other country except the US for the last 30 years.

Yup, like what many corporations do. Although many corporations don't have some liberal loon looking for every opportunity to place blame on the President...dumbass.
