Ford announces tariffs due to Donnie's tariffs

Problem with this story is that Ford had already announced layoff last year, has been in the process or reorganizing the company, including downsizing it, and that its big move into the Chinese market place has been mediocre compared to expectations. I am sure the added costs from tariffs will cost jobs (even though they mostly use domestic steel and aluminum anyway), but that is because they were already on shaky ground and cannot pass the cost along or otherwise eat it the way Honda is.

This is about manufacturing jobs, you twerp. Tariffs hurt manufacturing jobs. Your lies are just lies.

Kacper, don't pretend that the threat of tariffs last year did not affect planning.

And coal mines.

Westmoreland, which operates mines across the U.S. and Canada, is the fourth major coal company to file for bankruptcy in the past three years, joining Peabody Energy Corp., Arch Coal and Alpha Natural Resources.

In theory, the demand for domestic metals spikes which shorts supply which drives up costs which drives down sales. In reality, Ford has been in long-term trouble awhile. It is a giant blob of a company that can seldom keep pace with the marketplace.
 
Ford purged some good leadership back in the mid-2000's and it's not a coincidence that shortly thereafter they started to slide.

R B 60 is just mentally masturbating, feels good but only sterile. Tariffs mean that manufacturing costs here, even if the products are sold here, will go up.
