Old moves in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Ford Motor Company plans to cut 10,000 more salaried jobs, offer buyouts to 75,000 hourly workers and close two plants. “These actions have painful consequences for communities and many of our loyal employees,” said Executive Chairman Bill Ford. “But rapid shifts in consumer demand that affect our product mix and continued high prices for commodities mean we must continue working quickly and decisively to fix our business.” The Ford terminator can go from 0 to 85,000 in under a year.
• The Government Accountability Office (which sounds like an oxymoron) reported the number of illegal immigrants who died trying to cross the border more than doubled over the last decade. Hopefully, these folks aren’t heading north in the hopes of landing a job at Ford.
• The controversial season of CBS’ Survivor kicked off on Thursday, with host Jeff Probst calling it, “A social experiment like never before.” Still wondering why Probst wasn’t replaced with Carlos Mencia or Dave Chappelle.
