Pirates Cove has the story. Another kick to the nuts of working Americans because “Green Economy GOOD!”
I’m sure the workers are thrilled to sacrifice for the great good of getting everyone into an EV, right?
Ford Plans to Lay Off 8,000 Workers to Help Finance Electric-Vehicle Initiative
Ford Motor Company plans to lay off as many as 8,ooo employees in the coming weeks to help finance its electric-vehicle initiative.
The cuts will affect the newly established Ford Blue unit that produces engines for gas-powered vehicles, as well as other salaried, operational positions throughout the company, people familiar with the development told Bloomberg.
Under the auspices of Chief Executive Officer Jim Farley, in March Ford diversified its automotive manufacturing into two distinct business projects: the “Model e” unit for EV development and “Ford Blue” for internal-combustion engines.
Some staff are likely to be let go this summer, and the layoffs may happen in stages, the people said. They are expected to target the U.S. sector of Ford, where 31,000 salaried workers are employed, Bloomberg noted. Declining to comment on the potential job cuts, Ford emphasized that it is committed to revolutionizing EVs, where many automakers believe the future of the car market is headed.
These idiots will have us all riding buses soon enough.
“Declining to comment on the potential job cuts, Ford emphasized that it is committed to revolutionizing EVs….”
Oh, the wokeness of it all. /facepalm/
OT: As always, every day, a great variety of images from ya on other pics o the day posts!
Thanks! I try to give a big variety of content. As to the Ford business seems they are firing people building gas powered cars, thus making less of those while at the same time making more “EV’s” which cost a lot more and have serious issues with range,
negative environmental impact, etc. The end game might be just to price cars out of range for most Americans
