I hope you weren’t planning on getting a job at a Ford Motor Company plant in the US anytime soon; the AP is reporting Ford is going to offer “buyouts to its 54,000 U.S. hourly workers”.
There is a reason why I included that as a quote. If it’s accurate that Ford is down to 54,000 hourly workers in the US and further accurate that Ford is actually seeking 54,000 buyouts (neither a given with AP’s lack of attention to detail), that would be the effective end of Ford Motor Company as an American automaker. I believe it more-likely that Ford has a number lower than 54,000 buyouts in mind, and is simply making that offer available to every one of its hourly employees.
On a related note, the makers of the Tata Nano, the world’s most dangerous car, will soon own Jaguar and Land Rover. Feel free to pimp this Nano…
…and let me know where your Photoshops are.
Just heard on the way home that Milwaukee is about to allow crap like the Nano and other electric vehicles that have top speeds of 35 mph. & below on the city streets to increase congestion for the rest of us normal folks.
