Kudos to Tom for an impartial evaluation of the facts–especially since he does not support the boycott. Ford’s products are the reason it has been so easy for myself and others to sign the boycott pledge. The same goes for entertainers: If you provide a valuable product/service, I will buy based on your quality. If you decide to enter the political arena, you’ve just taken the chance that you will lose my business. Odds are you just did. The UAW is obsolete and bailouts can only save unprofitable companies for so long. Sure, it worked for Harley-Davidson, but because of quality, I gladly paid the tariff to get my Honda. The fact that workers are happier working in all the foreign car factories in the south than in Detroit is proof that the union is just not needed–and Ford will be next.
