And yet he still knew the collapse of his competition, amid a massive recession which he believed could have led to a depression had they not been bailed out, would have also threatened Ford.Again, if you heard his explanation then you would have known I already answered your question since I quoted his explanation. You clearly didn't or you wouldn't keep asking.Already explained it.
You claimed you read it (Mulally's explanation) -- you obviously lied since you still don't know what that explanation is.
I've heard his "explanation", Faun...unlike you and Georgie however...I don't think it made any sense at all! GM going bankrupt would have been the best thing to happen to Ford since Henry came up with the assembly line!
And again, no one gives a flying fuck if you think you're more economically savvy than the CEO of Ford.You don't have to like the answer he gave but no one owes you anything beyond his explanation; which of course, stems from first hand knowledge of his industry, first hand knowledge of company, first hand knowledge of his suppliers; whereas you don't know any of that in any level of depth compared to his knowledge.
In every conversation about Ford between you and the CEO of Ford -- you lose.
His first hand knowledge of his industry? Mulally didn't even come into the car industry until 2006! Before that he was in the aircraft business...running Boeing! That hardly matters however because basic business fundamentals run true in ALL industries! One of those basic business fundamentals...something that is just plain common sense...is that the elimination of your biggest competitor (for whatever reason) is going to help your business...not hurt it!
At no time have I ever claimed to be more economically "savvy" than Mulally! What I do claim however is that despite what Mulally claimed in front of Congress a bankruptcy by GM could only benefit Ford...something that Mulally actually admits later on when he relates how GM's bankruptcy problems helped Ford's auto sales substantially.
And again... any discussion about Ford between you and the CEO of Ford -- you lose.
And for about the twentieth time...HOW DOES GM GOING INTO BANKRUPTCY "THREATEN" FORD!!! You still haven't addressed Mulally's remarks that GM's looming bankruptcy HELPED Ford's sales! How can it do that...yet still "threaten" Ford?
Didn't know Mulally didn't have much experience in the auto industry...did ya', Faun! Oh, you think I don't notice how you ignore whole parts of my posts when they show you up?
Jesus, you are really getting excited. And, me boy, trying to make light of a ceo who has guided Boeing, then Ford, is a hoot. You are a clown.
