Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Who is down voting this lead comment!?! Folks, despite the inaccurate info in some of the responses, this is in fact how it works. Tariffs did not work before material sources and production became as globalized as it is today and they definitely will not work in this more global economy. US consumers will pay in the form of higher prices, US workers will pay in the form of lost corporate profit which will translate into lost jobs

ehhgg. Bring it on. No more talk.

Bring out the big ba--s, or the abominations.

What's life other than the severance of lifetime earnings. Best to be on the right side of history.

I say bring on the tariffs....it will impact other oems much more than Ford. Worse comes to worse, I can get another job no problem. But I'd really like to see our inept CEO lose his.

Foreign suppliers will have to eat the cost of the tariffs or lose customers.

@OP. I disagree. Yes, tariffs open the door for retaliation, but WE are the ones retaliating. China has already tariffs, restrictions, IP theft and currency devaluation in place. Many other countries have tariffs in place to protect their industries. And if any country wants to play chicken with us, we are the biggest economy of the planet, with the largest consumer market (accounting for 29% of global consumer spending). Let's play!

Regarding the auto industry, I am not planning to buy a vehicle anytime soon, because I don't like where we are headed. However, I'd buy japanese assembled in Japan, even with tariffs. Quality and safety matters the most for me. So it is already past time that the Detroit's Big 3 stop behaving like the 3 stooges, and fix their act, or go down.

If demand decreases wouldn’t price decrease ?

So what when you lost your job in the automotive industry due to outsourcing. Both white and blue collar are getting shafted.
