Just more proof that Whell's a total moron. So much winning!

I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make with this post. The jobs that are being cut are those related to legacy vehicle tech. The funds freed up by staffing reductions will be invested in the R&D and development of EV's and related tech.

The doubters (not saying our friend here is one) forget that such things as refueling infrastructure and vehicle range were addressed with the horseless carriages too when they began as no more than a niche market.

The bottom line: Ford's CEO is still waiting for Trump to enact policies that will help, not hurt, the auto industry.

"We're expecting and hoping there will be a pony in here for the auto industry. Right now, we're doing a lot of shoveling," Farley said.
