Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Why tariffs will not help Ford

Yeah, what about all the parts Ford imports to build their cars? They’ll cost more. What about the cars Ford builds in other countries? They’ll cost more. Tariffs are supposed to work by making imported goods cost more so that consumers will buy American made products. It’s not easy to find American made products built using only American made parts. We all know how pricing works, those American products would likely raise their prices because the competition is charging more. Don’t understand how this is a win.

@sne+1vHl9w5p explained it perfectly.

Tariffs are a negotiating tool used by all nations to create mutually beneficial agreements between trading nations.
As the largest consumer market it gives the President some leverage in negotiations.
No reason to panic.

Who cares if a bunch of no skill, low wage jobs are brought into the US. Our high school dropouts and liberal art majors are too entitled and lazy. We are just making America a caste system again. Indentured servitude by another name. Weed and digital crack to placate the drones.

We used to make cars in such places as Mahwah NJ, Minneapolis MN and Atlanta GA (Taurus). Not anymore. At least the tariffs will give us a reason to look at bringing production back to the US, instead of continuing to shift to Mexico. Farleys gonna have to get creative to navigate this....and the sooner he realizes his big bet on EVs was the wrong move, the better.

If Ford moves manufacturing back to the US the tariffs won't matter. Yes labor cost will be higher but they benefits workers.

They will hurt Ford because Ford put America last

Probably 30% of Ford white collar jobs are in LCC now. Maybe tariff those jobs.
