You are so spot on with the characterization of these people as “Useful Idiots”.

I have no problem with the development of EVs for people who want to spend their money on them, as long as there are people, fools will be parted with their money, but...in the end, it is their money to part with.

No longer.

Now, it is your money, and my money, that will be parted with against our will.

This is insanity.

There is no “transition” to EV’s.. It a forced, contrived boondoggle.

Most cars in the USA are made by non-union workers.

Ford should put the 385-series engines back into production with updated EFI and better breathing heads. Winner.

I wonder if Ford will still receive all the tax breaks they were promised in exchange for the jobs the plant was going to provide?

“Is Ford deciding they have lost enough money on producing EVs that the people have decided they do not want?”

But what do ‘the people’ (or customers) have to do with corporate decisions?

> Ford coming to it’s senses? A boondoggle too far? Ford may sense a coming regime change that will no longer subsidize the crazy push for EV production ( EVs that no one wants).

Ford along with all the other auto makers knows and has known EVs are a company ending product, but the FeralGovernment™ along with BigFinance™ are holding a gun to their heads, telling them you will manage your decline and exit gracefully, or we will do it for you immediately.

Don't think for a minute the people at the top of the car companies will not get millions of dollars under the table when the final auto manufacturer shuts its doors in the USA.

They will get paid off to shut down and shut up.
