    Ford Europe Laying Off Another 12,000

      ...this is on top of the layoff already announced...

    Ford of Europe announced Thursday that the company would be laying off around 12,000 employees as part of a global restructuring.  This is on top of the layoffs Ford previously announced earlier this year.  Ford says it will reduce the number of plants in the region to 18 and reorganize its business into three divisions; Commercial, Passenger, and Imports such as the Ford Mustang.

    Most of the positions in Europe will be eliminated via voluntary separation programs and should be completed by the end of 2020. Of the jobs lost, 2,000 will be salary and another 5,000 will be white color positions. 

    Ford is struggling to make its European operations profitable against a backdrop of stagnant sales in the EU.  Ford of Europe says that in future, all new vehicles will come with an electrified version, be that a full EV or a hybrid.

      Hmm....I was talking about Lauren Sanchez... they just got married last year.  Had been Bezo's girlfriend since 2018.  He divorced his first wife in 2019.

      USC grad and I believe a SoCal upbringing.  USC was once not that hard to get into.  I'm not commenting on her intellectual abilities (she's not a rocket scientist, that's for sure), just the statistics.  Admission percentages for freshmen at the best public universities in America have dropped like a lead balloon.  I don't know if I'd want to go to a school where Mossimo* and Lori Loughlin* had to swindle the system to get their daughters in.  It's also in a somewhat dangerous neighborhood. What it does is beg the question as to who and what she is thinking about when she's got her thighs wrapped around his waist.  I'm just calling a spade a spade.   * I just did a wiki on them. They got divorced last year.

      What I was really going to say: Just based on what is being fed to me on my phone and the photos they pose for, it doesn't look like Jeff Bezos is too happy with this trophy wife he bagged.  Once you study her more, it looks like most of her existence is about being a poseur.  I'm not so sure I like her.

      $45k for an appliance FWD CUV w/ a 4cyl in white w/ a gray interior is pretty depressing to imagine.   My Jeep was in that price range 12 years ago, much nicer design inside and out and well equipped w/ a V6 and AWD...and with inflation, the equivalent spec to that on a 2025 is about $53k..same engine and transmission, AWD, same color scheme, trim level and options.  My sister's '23 Chevy Equinox LT was $34k out the door new at the end of 2022.  She got $15k in trade on her 2015 Trax and paid cash for the difference.
