Folding to progressive's irrational demands can be costly to a company....and a nation.

Who at Ford made the decision to build all those trucks in the first place? Hang them.

My diesel sedan...a comfortable and well equipped car...is an absolute delight on the Interstate. I've driven it 810 miles (mostly Interstate) on one tank (Boston to Montreal and return). And when it needs to be refilled I can do so in about 4 minutes at any one of 35,000 stations from coast to coast.

Why would I *possibly* want a car that needs to be "refilled" every 225 miles,there are only a few hundred places in the country where it can be done,and those refills take anywhere from 1 hour to 12 hours?

Yeah, but they’ll make up for it in volume.

Our local Ford dealer — very good, very established (many decades, IIRC) — suddenly closed up shop. The word is that Ford corporate was going to punish dealerships that wouldn’t spend millions to be able to service EVs. Guess they refused to play the woke game.

Not to worry. They will make it up in volume.

So the actual loss decreased, and the article needed a statistic that could produce a headline. It’s missing the word “unexpected”.

Our local Ford dealer has EVs all over the lot, unsold.

So they didn’t lose any money on them!.................

Virtue Grandstanding can be expensive. Think of the losses the Starbuck moms took, warms your heart.

Farley has to be the dumbest CEO in the country. He’ll, I can lose less money than that.

I think Ford still did better than Lucid and Rivian. :)
