What goes around comes around.
Ford’s most modern plant is in Brazil. Brazil is energy Independent, has discovered vast quantities of oil & gas. The make their own planes, trucks, and grow their own food. They are not in debt to their asses.
They are also building their own Nuclear power plant. Soon they will join the Nuclear club and have their own nukes.
Good points, Randall. Brazil looks a lot better than the US. doesn’t it. And they have a socialist leader too! Lula has navigated this crisis pretty well. Hats off.
