this company is getting gutted...boomers have it good as they can retire...
JF has lied so often that don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth. It’s always somebody else’s fault.
Besides the battery minerals what about the chip supply so all those parked Fords being eaten by rats can get sold to some poor suckers?? All our tech got shipped out of America by the hedge fund overlords and now it's kinda hard to get the mojo back.
