What are your thoughts about the Ford Motor Company sending American 🇺🇸 jobs to China to build all of their electric Lincoln SUV's?

[sage2021]

Yep! Oh, why not? China ends up making almost everything sold in America.
I remember when COVID-19 came and we all had to wear masks. I looked at the box of mask's I bought and they were made... wait for it... in China! So we got the virus from China, then made our paper masks. Ever wonder what those mask's were made of? And we were breathing through them. 🤔

I have an issue with our sourcing and don't support any business that does, America first or fuck off

Out** and thank you

No surprise, seems like every big company outsourcing to China

During his time in office, Bill Clinton passed the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA) in 1993, allowing for the free movement of goods between Mexico, the United States, and Canada, signed legislation repealing the Glass-Steagall Act, a major plank of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal banking regulation, and deregulated the trading of derivatives, including credit default swaps, a complicated financial instrument that would play a key role in the 2007-2008 economic crash. In the following signing statements, Clinton offers his support of free trade and deregulation.

"In a few moments, I will sign the North American Free Trade Act into law. NAFTA will tear down trade barriers between our three nations. It will create the world’s largest trade zone and create 200,000 jobs in this country by 1995 alone. The environmental and labor side agreements negotiated by our administration will make this agreement a force for social progress as well as economic growth. Already the confidence we’ve displayed by ratifying NAFTA has begun to bear fruit. We are now making real progress toward a worldwide trade agreement so significant that it could make the material gains of NAFTA for our country look small by comparison."

Yeah right. It allowed manufacturers to relocate to Mexico and leave Americans out of work. No more good, union jobs. It created the Rust Belt in the midwest and the decay of large cities.

The U. S. joined the WTO in 1995 during his administration. It had even more devastating effect on U. S. manufacturing and jobs. It also resulted in poor quality goods being imported and causing the disappearance of high quality, American-made goods.

Ross Perot talked about that sucking sound that was American jobs being sent to Mexico. He was a businessman so he knew what would happen. Bill Clinton was just a politician who would take money from big business.

@exitseven. the Democratic went full neoliberal at that time and has only gotten more so. They are all about corporations and to hell with the American people.
Neoliberalism = “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini. But the Democrats are also melding it with Chinese communism these days in obeisance to their globalist masters.

@Lliam
I thought Trump got rid of NAFTA?

[Lliam]

@sage2021. If so, it was too late. The U. S. was already gutted.

[exitseven]

He did. He renegotiated a better deal with Canada and Mexico. It was only a little better however.

[sage2021]

@exitseven
Thanks for vouching for me about Trump getting rid of NAFTA and striking a better deal with Canada and Mexico. I remember that very well. Trump commented that the dumbest thing Clinton ever did was make the NAFTA deal. So, as usual, he took care of us and cleaned up another mess other people got us into. I miss him sooo much!

[Lliam]

I agree with you, Sage. Trumps "America first" policy was on the right track.

Just another cheap fuckin chicken shit corporation trying to make more profit. Sending jobs to China is the main thing that has made China the problem it is today. The capitalist cheap fuckin companies plus the US goverment with most favored trading status and the UN putting China in place of Taiwan/ Nationlist China along with other things has created a monster that might just kill his maker. Maybe the God Damn Chinese can name one of their new aircraft carriers The Walmart or now The Ford. This is out of control capitalsm does for a country. Fuck what might happen or what you can fuck up, just worry about profits and the God Damn stockholders.

[ImalwaysrightOK]

I'd rather buy a Toyota or Nissan, at least some are made in USA or Canada. So called American cars were already being made in Mexico, now it's Chinese communists. Ford, gfy.

[FunkyMonkee]

It's par for the course! Henry Ford built vehicles for Hitler and even financed him!! Ford hated Jews just as much as Dolph!! If he found out one of his employees was Jewish, he'd fire them on the spot!!

[Anonymous]

Technology and Factories which ford uses build cars today will be used to build tanks for the CCP tomorrow.
Why does the Biden Administration allow this tech transfer?

[TrueConfection]

They have to. China cornered the market on the EV batteries.

[OfMiceandMen]

Most of the car parts for Ford and General Motors come from China anyway.

[Adam1978]

Don't worry ford will soon be history. Unless you keep pumping in tax money in that company.

[Anonymous]

It's very short sighted.
