      Ah he’s only suspended and a union member. I heard that the suspension will likely be short (3 days was the figure someone in the same union said on the other site). I’m sure we’ll hear all about it if he is actually fired.

      Mad props to him for seeing his opportunity, realising it was once in a lifetime and grabbing it with both hands.

      Their idea of Freedom of Speech means calling people racial slurs without facing any consequences and then cancelling someone for saying the inconvenient truth.

    You know how you can identify weak childlike leaders?

    This. This is a sign of a petty weak person.

      Ford is complying with dear leader while dear leader is actively fucking Ford by cutting trade with Canada.

      I used to work in automotive manufacturing. The amount of parts to build cars cannot come from just America. It’s impossible.

      Trump is beating the shit out of Ford and they’re just standing there asking for more.

        Parts yes. Cars no.

        It is in Ford’s best interest to keep other forgien cars out of the US. If Americans were really free to shop forgien cars the US car companies would all go under.

        Trump will keep out “bad forgien cars”

        Tairiffs are just a cost they pass down to consumers when there are no other options for the consumer other than domestic cars built with tariffed parts.

        They know what they are doing.

        Silver lining though, cars will get more expensive, which might spur more public transit. Heh… at the very least it will make walkable places a little more desirable.

          Oh cars will get more expensive, but you think America will lean towards public transit? Auto manufacturers will just bitch and moan about how they can’t sell their $145,000 entry level sedan, and the government will just bail them out with your tax money.

          What, you don’t want to pay $1500 a month for a Ford Focus?

            If people can’t afford cars, they’ll just create subsidies using middle class tax money.

            I’m hoping this means we’ll actually get a high speed rail line from Toronto to Quebec City sometime this century instead of just having another shelved study.

            Ford would bitch and moan so American safety regulations would be cut back to help lower costs of cars

            Ford doesn’t sell the Focus anymore because the US hates reasonably sized vehicles.

      I mean, insulting someone on a tour of your plant is pretty unprofessional

      I’d even say that it was a bad thing to do, if the insulted tour-goer wasn’t the lowest scum of the earth XD

    Dude needs to open a gofundme for that one. I’d give him ten bucks for the delivery of what many of us think.

    If I get fired for expressing my state of mind being less effective because my friends and clients are not white US natural born citizens, so be it. Yeah, it’s fucking stressful. But I will not be silent when people are being sent to concentration camps, citizens are being murdered, and a PMC is profiting off each kidnapping.

    I won’t debate it. I won’t call a coworker a Nazi fuck to their face. But I will not be silenced when this horrifying shit is going on.

    I have privilege as a WASP. Yes it’s a risk. Yes I have family.

    But I will not be silent.
