(AP) Ford Motor Co. says it is offering buyout and early retirement incentives to all of its 41,000 U.S. hourly workers to further reduce its factory work force.

Company spokesman Mark Truby said Ford still has too many factory workers for its current sales levels.

He would not say how many workers the company wants to leave but said Ford is working that out with the United Auto Workers union. Ford currently has about 600 blue-collar workers laid off but available for recall.

The buyout offer includes $50,000 cash plus a $25,000 car voucher or $20,000 more in cash. The retirement package includes $40,000 cash for skilled trades and $20,000 for production workers.

ALL???????

Sounds like they are getting ready to bail.

Or at least shut down production in the US.

Another step down that path,for sure.

At this point we HAVE to stop and wonder just exactly what it will take for the sheeple to wake up and realize they have been robbed.

Obviously hearing the news on tv and seeing their neighbors and relatives lose their jobs and houses isn't a big enough clue for them.

I'm beginning to think the typical American is so clueless they will never wake up. They are little more than drones.

Pete....the lemmings just won't ever wake up.

They don't hold themselves accountable for the crass desire for cheap consumerism and they certainly won't hold corporate entities who deliver their cheap goods accountable either.

Without moribundly rambling on ... thems the facts.....

Sad,but true. One day they will wake up to face the prospect of no jobs,no unemployment money,no food stamps,and no water,heat,electricity,no prescription drugs,and no medical care,and they will blame it on everybody but themselves.

The thing is this won't be the end of it. They will turn mean and lash out at anybody and everybody they see that has something they don't have because it's "unfair" for them to do without.

THIS is why the survivalists that live in the cities who have bought land outside of town and stocked up on drygoods and prepared themselves as best they can to survive lean times have been doing just that despite all the ridicule others have always thrown their way. They will have the last laugh even though in this case it will just be an expression because nobody is going to be laughing about the economic or living conditions in this country for at least a generation.

In fact,I have seriously been considering starting a "The Coming Downfall" ping list so people can post threads about news stories that show the collapse building. Stories about civil unrest,unemployment figures,small business bankruptcies in their local areas that never make the national news,etc,etc,etc.

I don't want to be morbid,but it might help some people if they can see it coming and make what preparations they can make so it will affect them less.

It might even wake up a few people in time to affect the 2010 elections,although I honestly think things have already gone too far to be solved by any political means that doesn't involve hangings and firing squads. You are a part-time cop and I know you don't want to hear that,but get used to the idea. None of the rest of us really wanted to hear it,either.

I was trying to not be so moribund but yes...the forecast is the opposite of sunny and warm....just wait til the idiot regime "leader" gets 2010 under his skirt......I won't be surprised to see some things out of hand by 2011 as the natives are going to be more than restless I bet.

I'll probably start to show it's side with another idiot Tim McVeigh clownish action...and then it'll be interesting to see who jumps on which bandwagon.
