Should Farley be fired?

The supply chain woes are primarily driven by one country, leading some to believe the phase “When America sneezes, the world catches a cold” with China. Covid-19 was a triggering event but other factors are now coming to light which reveal how vulnerable the US has become, it's one thing to have the most powerful military but they are other means to achieve global aspirations. Also link to an article which helped me to understand why the US is again planning to make manned lunar landings, something I recall was deemed unimportant a few decades ago. seems like another cold war possibly in the making ?

Just to have some relevance to the thread I am developing a better understanding of the supply chain issues which companies like Ford are facing.

Beware of investing in any company toeing the ESG line, as there is coming a day of reckoning. You can ride the EV wave if you want, but be aware the collapse is inevitable. All EV is not sustainable. Hybrids are ok, and that's what Toyota is advocating. ESG is a political solution, and has NOTHING to do with Environment or actual Sustainability. It's all Governance, and all Communist at that.

Europe is now regretting that they have been shutting down their reliable nuclear plants on the advice of a 16 year old girl... They have no replacements ready, and now they are cutting THEMSELVES off from their main supplier of natural gas.

This is what Ford is up against in Australia - Chinese ute 2.0 litre turbo diesel, 8 speed ZF auto, torque on demand Borg Warner 4x4 transfer case, all for $20,000 less than a Ranger. And they are becoming an increasingly common sight on the roads around here. There were other Chinese offerings also but most fell far short on build quality and support, all but one other have fallen by the wayside.

This one is actually a half decent truck. As someone said previously, the baseline is moving, and things will likely never go back the way they were before.

One of the most interesting things that may be sustainable for the future is the small Nuclear Reactor that is no larger than a School Bus and is able to produce power for several home city blocks.

I believe it was two years ago this was breakthrough. The reactor is small enough to be placed underground. If I remember right one of it's great advantages is, that it's like a battery and can be swapped out very quickly. No need for large plants anymore.
