| Ya, I saw the headline too. Didn't read the whole article, but damn. I did read that they're switching two truck plants over to makin small cars. I don't like fords, but if they go down, there's only going to be one other make of diesel trucks for the dmax to beat up on...   | |

| For a CEO who makes 20 million a year to run a company to a 8.7 billion dollar lose is criminal. How anyone could not see the gas problem coming and cut production is beyond me. why weren't they looking to make a fuel effecient car or truck for the past 10 years? regardless of the good times and SUV craze all the car companies should be looking to cut our dependency on oil. The sad part is thousands will lose their jobs because of a company not looking ahead and preparing for a different world. The CEO will make his millions and the government will bail out Ford. The CEO should be fired today!! Why would you keep him on? I feel so bad for all the families that are going to be hurt and destroyed by this man who calls himself a CEO. What a shame!! and the other car companies aren't far behind. Toyota is doing well but they are building a fuel effecient car and have for years. Why weren't the others doing the same? The old saying of "you snooze you lose" is all so true!! Sorry for the rant!!
Love my Duramax

Love my Duramax | You are right on the mark! This is the same problem that General Motors is going through. The person at the top never pays the price for failure. They just give themself a bonus as employees are loosing their jobs, homes and everything else they worked a lifetime for. So much for loyalty! A large percentage of business failures are from mismanagement at the top! You have to be able to prepare for the future. It's not like this fuel problem just popped up from nowhere. Hell, I still remember when we had odd and even days to purchase fuel. Now I'm giving away my age!
