You're Mr. Ford - what do you do next?

Your company lost 1.4 billion USD in the first half of the year.

You've announced a plan to offer redunancy to 100% of your 75,000 strong hourly work force.

You've announced another plan to reduce your salaried work force by 10,000.

Wait! I know!

You spend an estimated six million pounds buying a marque you don't intend to use.

Then you hire a retired British banker as a consultant at 25,000 USD per day ("Bond, Sir John Bond") to help you "prepare for monthly board meetings".

Why didn't my daddy leave me a car maker?
