Meanwhile, Ford, GM, and the corpse of Chrysler are doing nothing about this, other than cranking out more overpriced ICE giant trucks, and will come crying to the government for bailouts when they can’t compete against Korea, Chinese, and Vietnamese manufacturers who offer basic electric cars that people can actually…

I have seen one in Plano, Texas. Only saw it once.

While I do understand the idea of wanting to avoid “polarizing issues”, but you can’t straddle both sides of the fence when it comes to human rights. You’re either on the correct side of history or you become an accomplice to its atrocities (Henry Ford, ehem!). While it’s one thing to hold no position, it another to…

1st Gear: Ford REALLY never wants to sell me another new car ever again, huh? First they plaster the Mustang name on a fugly SUV (I have no problem with it being electric), then they do the same to the Capri (I’ve owned 8 Mustangs, three of which were Mustang IIs, and 2 Capris, and the Capris were/are the real deal…

Except the bigots screaming about DEI are a small (albeit loud) group.  Most people support diversity.  And if Ford looked at past examples of this (Bud Light throwing trans people under the bus, Target dialing back their pride offerings, Harley also abandoning DEI policies), other companies alienated way more decent…

Very true, though i’m still suprised ford and lowe’s went that way. I get harley and tractor supply doing it given the makeup of their customer base but ford and lowe’s seem to cater to all demographics

There has been a solid push by right wing activists to go after DEI.  Boards and Execs are all republicans generally so the minute they thought they had cover, they did.  Rich White Men were never going to actually champion dei.  

“We are mindful that our employees and customers hold a wide range of beliefs,” and we are going to cater to the bigoted ones.  

Disappointed in you, Ford. You had the choice between helping people or hurting people, and you choice to hurt. You had the chance to stand up to hate or agree with it, and you agreed with it. You had the chance to take away these bigots power by simply ignoring them, but you chose to give them credibility.

I’ve no choice with DFW.  I’m happy I don’t fly there for work. The terminal roads are confusing and I fly out of it 12-14 times a year.

So, the plus side is it looks pretty nice and is well equipped even at the base model.

He’ll just blame it on CA liberals somehow, just like their failing power infrastructure that they’ve purposefully made totally independent and therefore 100% their fault if it doesn’t work.

I thought half the point of doing business in Texas was the ability to pollute the fuck out of whatever you want. 

There’s no such thing as the “environment.” It’s a woke, leftist hoax.

Texans don’t care.  Ask Greg Abbott.

No fucking shit, ya don’t say. I am so surprised to know that Musk is disregarding... you know what? I can’t even finish the sarcasm anymore.

what kind of compensation do you get if you are stuck in space for EIGHT MONTHS.... ??  8 million dollars? 80 million dollars?? 

“Relax, “ said Boeing, “We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave”

What with Boeing’s reputation, it might feel/be safer too.

Jesus Christ, Boeing.
