Default Re: Ford exec: Japanese hogging hybrid parts

Well... Ford could always seek a *domestic* battery/parts manufacturer...

But WAIT... the greedy American CEOs have sent almost EVERY manufactuing job the USA ever had down to Mexico or overseas so that the top 1% in the corporate structure can get billion-dollar bonuses while factory workers who used to get $12-$20/hour now get $5.85/hour at WalMart (and no benefits, of course! Gotta keep those prices low and the stock options high!)

Ford could start manufacturing their own components, but that would entail giving good-paying jobs to Americans, and no American megacorp wants to do *that*!!

.

Hope is like a candle held against the night.
