Trump Responds to Ford’s Move to Mexico

Yesterday Ford announced they were moving all small car production to Mexico, in order to take advantage of their slaver wages down there. Plus, unions are a hassle to deal with here.

Naturally, with Mexico being directly in the cross hairs of Trump, he took this opportunity to menace Ford and tell people that this sort of shit wouldn’t be happening under a Trump administration.

“We shouldn’t allow it to happen,” Trump said during a speech in Michigan, the center of U.S. car production.

“They’ll make their cars, they’ll employ thousands and thousands of people not from this country and they’ll sell the cars right through our border. No tax, no nothing, and we’ll have nothing but more unemployment in Flint and in Michigan,” he said in the speech in Flint.

“It used to be cars were made in Flint and you couldn’t drink the water in Mexico,” he said. “Now the cars are made in Mexico, and you can’t drink the water in Flint. That’s not good.”

For the uninitiated, the Bohemian Grove is a gathering of the most powerful men (women are NOT permitted) in the world, who convene to decide the fate of the world. It is widely believed that this, and the Bilderberg meetings, are what make up the shadow governments that control global governance.

Here is a first hand encounter with the fuckers who attended the grove.

At any rate, in yet another scornful email released from Colin Powell’s gmail account, the good general informs his good buddy pal, Peter Gordon MacKay, a former Canadian Member of Parliament, who also served as Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Minister of National Defense, and Minister of Foreign Affairs, that the olde guard at the Grove will not be voting for Mr. Trump.

————————————————-

Peter, I am back from the Bohemian Grove. Surprise, surprise, I sat next
to Stephen Harper a couple of times and had a nice discussion. Grove
attendees know that Trump is a disaster. Most will vote against, but quite
a few will not vote for Hillary and will vote for a third party candidate.
Strange doings down here. Otherwise all is well with the Powells. We’ll
sneak away for a few days in August. Of course I’d love to see you. Let me
know your dates. I told Stephen that you seemed quite content in your new
place in life.

All the best, Colin

Good God.

Good evening, I am your host for the evening, Count Fly, and I’m here to inform you that a great doom, an pox, is coming for you now.

The NIKKEI 225 is plunging tonight, lower by 1.4%. There isn’t any notable news, other than the fact that there seem to be more sellers than buyers.

Following suit are both European and American futures, encumbered by losses. The DAX is indicating lower by 0.7% and NASDAQ futures, which were gliding into the evening a short while ago, are being menaced by sellers, off by 25.

Crude is flat and the yen is rising v the dollar by 0.35%. Oh, bonds are rising as well, effectively topping off a very scary and a deleterious evening of trade.

It’s a slow news night. Apparently, there isn’t anything notable coming out of the DNC or Colin Powell gmail accounts, so I figured I’d check in on my fucking blogroll to see what they’ve been up to.

I’ve taken liberties to rewrite their titles, in order to better communicate what they’re really trying to say.

As seen in this video, the CEO of Apple is an excellent dancer and should be commended for his bravery to unleash this cringe-worthy display of gayness upon the world.

Cool.

All in all, it was a volatile session, with stocks ranging 150 points–ultimately closing down a bit–mostly saved by Apple’s surge. On the downside, however, crude was fucking crushed into 1 billion pieces, off by almost 3%.

All of you know that I hate rigged markets and would like nothing more than to preside over the complete destruction and annihilation of stocks, taking with it all of the morons spinning themselves into knots–trying to figure out this yarn. But, I do believe a trap is being laid bare, ahead of the Fed meeting. They will not hike and all of this worry about a hike is nonsensical rubbish. Upon learning the Fed will not hike, I expect the market to rejoice and subsequently decapitate all of the head of those short.

I am positioned correctly: long TLT, short FCX, long gold and miners, cash.

I don’t spend a lot of money at Facebook. As a matter of fact, I just started spending some money there, maybe a few hundred per month in light advertising. Just last week, I ‘boosted’ this post, riddled with curse words, such as ‘fuckheads’ and ‘fucking.’

See? It was approved and Facebook gladly took my $10.

But today, when attempting to ‘boost’ my post, regarding Ford’s decision to ship all small car manufacturing to Mexico, I was– seemingly –rejected, with cause.

Here’s what they said.

So what exactly is offensive about my article? Let’s review.

This is great news for Ford shareholders. American factory workers make anywhere from $20-$35 per hour. That’s a lot of money, equal to around $33k per annum. Shit, if I was back in the 1800’s, maybe I could live off $33k per annum.

By firing all of the factory workers in Detroit, Ford can hire workers at a slave wage, for less than $4 per hr in Mexico. In other words, Ford can hire a worker in Mexico for $26 per day, which would only get them 1 measly hour of work in America.

Fuck yeah. Good for the bottom line. The stock should run off this news.

Ford currently makes its Fiesta subcompact in Mexico, but its Focus and C-Max small cars are made in suburban Detroit. Making them in Mexico would boost company profits because of low wages there.

The company is building a new $1.6 billion assembly plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. It will make small cars there starting in 2018.

The CEO of Ford, Mark Fields, made a little more than $18m in 2015, or about $11,000 per hour–equal to about 550 full time workers in Detroit.

Surprisingly, Ford is lower by 2% for the session.

Any reader of mine knows this is a very nice article by me. Typically, I bring fire and brimstone, calling for electric chair executions, for the sort of shit Ford is pulling here. But, I was having a nice day and decided to have a little fun with our oligarch led economy. Even still, I was fucking REJECTED by the catamite motherfuckers at Facebook. I don’t particularly need to be accepted by them anyway. Nevertheless, this inconsistent, unprofessional, seemingly biased, rejection got under my skin. The post that I was approved for was just as profane as this one, and far less comedic.

I AM GREATLY OFFENDED and feel like spitting into the face of Mark Zuckerberg.

Looking at Facebook’s policies, they’re entitled to reject me for any reason at all. Perhaps they’re biased against me because I fucking hate them?

I can’t wait for when the Facebook juggernaut slows down and starts missing quarterly earnings amidst a flurry of backhanded commentary regarding the perverse and disgusting ineptitude of management.

I am sure if push came to shove, Colin would do his duty and vote for the establishment elite candidate,  H.R. Clinton. However, according to a new email that was released to the people, he has reservations.

He lamented over the specter of voting for her, saying she ‘has a long track record of unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home.’

Nice.

Ben Laidler, Global Strategist for HSBC, is talking extreme shit here, saying the SPY is gonna barrel lower with extreme vigor–targeting 1,960 for the SPY by year end. The crux of his argument is the market pricing in an absurd 14% earnings growth while the economy is growing at a rate less than 2%. In his research, this hasn’t happened since people went long volcano side vacation homes in ancient Pompeii.

He does, however, like defensive stocks and emerging markets.

I love how these crazy analysts always talk greasy about U.S. markets, while recommending EM. There has never been a time when our markets fell and the emerging markets didn’t follow in suit, times 3. Should we decline from here, you can depend upon Brazil and China get dropped down a sewer pipe in short order.

Nothing can stop market forces, in the end. The constant jawboning out of OPEC, the lies that speak to fictitious supply constraints, and a booming global economy that never seems to materialize, has resulted in a stymied pricing of the oil markets, ahead of a gigantic debt wall of bonds coming due in 2017.

In spite of ‘bullish’ EIA data out today, WTI is plunging, now lower by 2.4%, sending oil stocks straight down the drain.

Thus far, commodity markets are weak, whereas bonds and gold are strong. It doesn’t look like a very bullish risk on day.
