  1. The reason she says that is that crimes are down in New York. Check your facts before you post, OK? -dlj.

  2. thomas boisson And vice versa. In New York it's murders that are down. Furrin diplomats double-parking their limousines is as bad as ever. The main point is that, as always, Trump is lying, lying and then lying. Trump is double worrisome: it's not just that his lies are so much worse than Hillary's fibs, which are mostly defensive little reactions to petty annoyances. Trump's lies very often seem to be the result of not strategy but of either massive ignorance or a pathological indifference to the fact that truth and untruth are two different things. There is no doubt the man is a world champion salesman, but he's also a total fruitcake. -dlj.

  3. Defenseless, The reason you're defenseless is this is a battle of wits. The fact that Ford can make money on these cars in Mexico doesn't mean they could have made money on them here. Ford is keeping jobs here, and creating jobs where there are now opportunities -- which will mean new investment, design, parts, maintenance, management and suchlike upline jobs here. -dlj.

  4. MrDefenseless You ask "So let's use your "million dollar" analogy. Who's getting the Million dollars from Ford? Mexico or the U.S.? Mexico right? Who should be getting it? The U.S. We get nothing, Mexico gets our jobs and do you honestly think if it made business sense that Ford would outsource to Mexico rather than do work here in the U.S.? " If the Mexican workers and the Mexican market for the small cars didn't exist, the jobs wouldn't exist. I can make cake in the kitchen. I can't make cake in the bedroom. If I make cake in the kitchen, it doesn't mean I took it out of the bedroom. -dlj.

  5. MrDefenseless I hesitate to contradict a person with your obvious deep understanding of automobile marketing, finance, and assembly. Still it seems to me there's another possibilty. It seems to me that thanks to NAFTA and freer trade everybody is getting a wee bit better off. For the Mexicans this means there's an emerging middle class, or workers making decent money for the first time ever. They're ready to buy cars for the first time. Small cars. This means they'll be shopping around for something cheap. Maybe a made-in-Mexico Volkswagen. Or Fiat. Or maybe even a small cheap Ford. If there is such a thing. Do you think that might be a possibility? -dlj.

  6. MrDefenseless You are defenseless: you've left your machine unattended, and some half-wit has come along and posted under your name while you were away. Your fool friend doesn't seem to remember that you don't make money without serving others. -dlj.

  7. George Costanza No, not at your expense. They have got jobs making cars for their markets, paid for with their labor. Economics 101? No, just common sense. Pull yourself together and stop polluting the Internet with idiocy, wouldja?

  8. MrDefenseless   Defenseless,   I'm certainly not arguing with you.  You're not in the game.   Ford has created some jobs in Mexico because there are markets in Mexico.  Why you think this is Mexico "taking away" jobs that didn't exist when Mexico didn't have a market for small cars escapes me entirely.   Before Ford started making them there, Fiat and Volkswagen has the market for cars made in Mexico all to themselves.  Get it?   Because of their expanding markets, there is now an expanded market for Ford after-market parts -- from the US to Mexico.  That, however, seems to be a thought entirely too subtle for you, so I'll just leave it there for you to think about.   -dlj.

  9. George Costanza George, Since 2008 being a finance major has not been a very good credential to advertise in public. Your claim that America can't afford to do good any more is moronic: the point of all commercial transactions is that they do good -- for both sides. Win-win is not something you have to be able to do. It's something you can't afford not to do. I don't think that you're moronic. That you are probably a bright lad suggests that you are locked into some silly ideological prison of your own construction. Cheers, -dlj. GMAT 750.

  10. George Costanza I guess the point is sarcasm doesn't travel well on the Internet, and I should remind myself of that fact more often. My apologies. I should also not indulge in it myself. Poor Defenseless identifies himself correctly, and needs to be taken in hand gently and instructed in words of one syllable. Excuse me, "taught with short words." That gets around the three-syllable "syl-la-ble" problem. Cheers, -dlj.

  11. MrDefenseless Defenseless, I don't think I'm acting "like a genius." I think I'm acting like a guy who can read the papers and think about how companies serve customers. You seem to me to be the one pretending that you're a toddler. The idea never occurred to me. I don't know any toddlers who type as well as you do. Sure Mexico will sell a few cheap Fords into the US. That's what's great about NAFTA. We all get the benefit of each other's work and investment. Because more Mexicans will be making a good living, they'll also be buying more American-made cars upscale. Like those Mercedes-Benzes made in South Carolina maybe... -dlj.

  12. Short term answer might be because hte Mexican land, tansport, and labor costs are lower. Long term answer is obviously that without jobs the mexicans workers aren't going to be able to buy the cars. But the question for you is, why should the jobs be in Detroit and not in maybe Utah, where they don't have any car factories? Who are you, or Donald Trump, to be Commissar of Car Factories? And the other question you've gotta be askng yourself all the time, I'm sure, is how come all Donald's ties are made in China? Cheers, -dlj.

  13. MrDefenseless So you are the Commissar of Cars in your dreams?
