I see where, pending a vote by the UAW membership, Ford and the Union have agreed on a contract. 25% wage increase. Get ready to see, already elevated prices, stickers rise 25%.

At this stage, I don't think 50/60% is even feasible.

"Ford lost an estimated $36,000 on each of the 36,000 electric vehicles it delivered to dealers in the quarter - even more than its estimated $32,350 loss per EV in the second quarter."

In today's crazed world, I'm honestly surprised this hasn't happened before now.

Should note that: 1) That's Panama the country, not Panama City, FL.

 

And 2) the "climate protesters" were protesting that a Canadian takeover of management of a Panamanian copper mine didn't promote enough diversity.

 

And chew on that last point for a little while, and wonder where those protesters are coming from...
