This is because of our President-Elect Donald J. Annoying Orange's policies. Well done Ford!

on the other hand Annoying Orange threatened to place a "border tax" on another motor company (gm.n) because they work in mexico (which led to 1300 jobs being cut)

Yes this is exactly what would lead to a downfall.
Latin American countries, excluding Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina, have people willing to work for peanuts while the US has epople who want a high minimum wage. Like Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, the US has laws that "help workers" by removing their job possibilities. Any company would want to invest in a country where they can make stuff dirt cheap and pay stuff to people. Mexico has people like that which is most probably why they wanted to make the factory there in the first place. If this sort of thing keeps up, the companies would probably, like they did here due to protests and government bills, abandon the country and settle elsewhere where they can continue to obtain dirt-cheap workers in third-world countries.

solution: don't listen to them about minimum wage

i wonder how history will remember the period between Nov 8 and Jan 20

you have Annoying Orange already bringing stuff loads of jobs back, foreign politicians trying to make deals, and israel looking to him for help despite not even being in office. meanwhile you have obama trying to start a war with russia to distract from the Turkish accusations that he's been funding and arming CIA this entire time. the only thing preventing war at this point is that israel and russia are just waiting it out until obama leaves office.

really an interesting period we're in, has anything like this ever happened before in the US?

That's too bad for those Mexicans



as long as Annoying Orange lets jarritos ship their sodie pops over here i don't care what he does
