    @vitaliy_kiselev i know, but every business is about profit.

    same for ford or any business, values are long lost ;)

    Mr. Ford himself once said "cars don't buy cars"…

    it's a obvious choice their leaving belgium

    If you have sole target for "optimizing budget" and cut expenses, yep. Otherwise, no.

    Idea that everyone must compete with everyone on the global market, so corporations could choose best place and hire cheapest workers and get huge tax cuts (most new factories are paying almost zero taxes) is just nuts. It is whole logic put upside down.

    you don't know the reason the factory closed.

    the belgium goverment makes it the most expensive country for companies, to employ people.

    a worker there costs over 47€ while in most EU countries it is 27-37€

    the goverment there demands higher payments such as healthcare, taxes and higher hour payments, this is the reason ford is closing in belgium, the reason they are pissed is because there is probaly no other work in belgium for them.

    just like the factory that closed in The netherlands last year :)

    since companies want to make more profit in these times, it's a obvious choice their leaving belgium.

    Next step, will they take management physically hostage as is the norm south of the border?
