Henry Ford had no sense - trying to provide the highest quality vehicle at the lowest possible cost. He had the useless reputation of providing the best car you could buy, and everyone knew it in the country, without social media even! He was not just seeing the opportunity there. He should have brought in talking heads with no automotive insight, fumbled the company leadership, made warranty expense a new record, and sold 1/3 the number of cars as before at twice the price. No vision.

Who gets fired first? Farley, or Dan Campbell?
It's going to be a while. As long as Farley can keep increasing free cash flow so I can raise the dividend and pay myself million$$$ I'm going to keep him around. Gonna be tricky with me having to suck up to the co---e gov all while moving jobs out of this screwed up state and somehow decreasing the union bloodsuckers.
Oh and we are doing terrible at actually building vehicles and the ones that we do build have a ton of warranty costs, ooppsies!
And it turns out the market for $100k trucks isn't that big so that's a bit of a downer. Oh well. We'll try the $100k Expedition next!

The better question is how long before the family tells Billy to go play with his plastic army men, his etcha sketch and his train station. My guess is that it'll 5-10 years before Billy says "I want to spend more time with my family and my choo choo".
Indeterminate. JF follows orders very well. Bill's orders. Thats how JF stays employed.
That guy is just a henchmen
Firing him wont do any good
