They Gov/UAW will have to take Ford out at some point. Sad, but it will happen. Watch for Ford to get hit with some trumped up government charge, safety regulation or EPA mandate that will cripple them.

Since two of the "big three" will now be controlled largely by the UAW ... 1. If workers have a grievance against the company, uhm - doesn't that mean they have a grievance against their own union? 2. Ford is now the only NON-Union owned car company now isn't it? So, uhm - let's see, the UAW are NOW their competitors in GM and Chrysler - but Ford employees are UAW aren't they? So the people they are competing against are actually BUILDING their cars? This makes no sense whatever. It's an incestuous nightmare. 3. Ford is competing against the Government too - because the Government still owns shares in GM and Chrysler no?
