The fact of the matter is that you have no clue about Ford and how they are running their operation. They are (or at least they were) the 5th biggest company in the world. Are you telling me that you understand their operating plan based on an article? Give me a break already. Lord...the internet is full of idiocy sometimes.

By operations I meant how they give this particular person the "runaround".
