Ford cancels Mexico plant. Will create 700 U.S. jobs in 'vote of confidence' in Trump
 
 Source: CNN

Ford is canceling plans to build a new plant in Mexico. It will invest $700 million in Michigan instead, creating 700 new U.S. jobs.

Ford (F) CEO Mark Fields said the investment is a "vote of confidence" in the pro-business environment president-elect Donald Trump is creating. However, he stressed Ford did not do any sort of special deal with Trump.

"We didn't cut a deal with Trump. We did it for our business," Fields told CNN's Poppy Harlow in an exclusive interview Tuesday. He said Ford did speak with Trump and vice-president elect Mike Pence this morning.

With a CNN front page headline like this, it's going to be a long 4 8 years.!!!!

4. So what's the real reason they've canceled this Mexican plant?
 
I'm sure once this headline dies down, we'll know the real reason.

10. Eh, piss on Michigan
 
We already have a president in office who saved those jobs, and his reward, from the people of the not so great state of Michigan, was to elect a racist troll.

I'll get over it eventually, but right now, Michigan can take a long walk off a short pier.

This is exaactly why the democrats need, must have, Ellison at the head.

I looked at the thread. DUmmies are claiming they will only purchase Toyota and Honda.
*** way to support your union brothers. Liberals = hypocrites.

That whole thread is nothing but sour grapes.

It was very un-DUmmy like of Ford not to accept government handouts.

15. Usually it is because they get enormous tax breaks

It has to be something like that to male it cost effective to build in US instead of cheaper Mexico.

That's GM you're thinking of.

You know, the GM that Obama illegally ****ed investors out of their due percentages and gave the difference to his union cronies with taxpayer purchased shares which GM then repaid pennies on the dollar.

17. Hate to say it

but Trump just got about 700 new votes come 2020. Those workers don't give a shit that tax incentives and other concessions are used to keep companies from going overseas, they care that they still have a job.

And with these CEOs openly giving Trump credit, Dems are going to have to start finding ways to answer uncomfortable questions like "Where was Obama when our jobs were on the chopping block?" in order to win those workers back.

36. 700? more like thousands

the narrative is being created now:
Trump is revitalizing American manufacturing
when an economic source like manufacturing strengthens, all the associated goods & services get a boost too; whether or not this happens, it will be said to be happening

in 2 years this will be common wisdom unchallenged by the media or the general public

this is looking very much like an 8-year nightmare

Nonsense! Obama wrote off those jobs, said they were never coming back!

The bottom line? The law-abiding "citizens" are showing their appreciation for the "new sheriff in town" even before he's inaugurated.

I look forward to Progs reviling Ford, Carrier, IBM, etc. as Eeeeeee-vile Corporations when thousands of jobs are linked to those companies and revilings.

This was not really that big of a surprise to those who work with / for Ford.

A few months ago, Fields announced a multi-billion dollar investment in the Dearborn HQ facility, or what we refer to as Google East.
With the autonomous and hybrid platforms being developed, it made sense to keep the manufacturing close to the technology development.  (Flat Rock is about a 20 minute drive from Dearborn)

Now while the election of Trump may have had some minimal influence, anybody in the industry knows that decisions on projects like this are made months in advance and at a speed that is eclipsed by glacial recession.

Of course for DUmmies to understand this, they would actually have to read and comprehend something other than Daily Kooks and HuffandPuff Post.

I saw an interview with one of the bigshots today saying basically the same thing... including the decision to nix the meheeko plant and that it was due to shrinking small car sales (Focus platform)

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."
