Neither do I but we mustn't be naive to think they owned the rights to scout funded it and aren't going to have an interest on r further involvement in its future I wonder if they have a seat currently within the company. But I ask you this if you were VW owned the right's to Scout Funded its start up you would just right the big check and say good luck guys hope your successful ?? I think VW funded Scout and has agreements attached to original and additional funding you don't give a golden goose away but n my opinion

Not really lol I think I would probably do a few check ins every once and awhile to make sure stuff is going well and assist with what they need to succeed. Until they are able to do it their own. And then i would do a yearly check.

Yes but Tratons revenue is so high they would be fine without VW if shit hits the fan. And the Trucking industry never stops trucks are constantly being used and breaking down that have to be replaced a-lot sooner than cars.
Really? I always thought those behemoths were built for repairability and would last 20-30 years with tons of mileage. Show what little I know.

I heard that Germany will be giving VW billions of dollars. Since if they are gone Germany’s economy will crash.

and VW is saying that the agreement has to be before Christmas or else it will be how VW HR wants it.
No country will allow any major automobile manufacturer to go under. They’re all safe.

They break down a lot due to over wear. Since most truck companies would rather make money and break the trucks since it’s less time off and more money in the pocket and the fact that most transportation companies don’t really want them to break down it’s just that they hold off proper maintenance so they can keep the trucks on the road.

Truck off road = No income lol

It’s insane that our tax money goes to GM when they are in need of money. The government just gave them 28 Billion in a loan that the government will never get back and then we wonder why the government will never have positive cash flow. But if we didn’t give them money there would be no GM in existence.

I believe GM paid back loan and by making the loan they protected many jobs that pay social security taxes and many other area taxes. So let's make Scout Great again by keeping it real. Merry Christmas !!!

VW and union come to an agreement
https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com...ons-itself-competitively-for-the-future-18945

Synopsis from Car and Driver: Volkswagen has reached an agreement with European union workers that will prevent factory closures and mass strikes. The deal includes "socially responsible" job cuts of over 35,000 German factory workers by 2030. Factory production will also be reduced by 734,000 units, according to VW. The company said in a press release that the deal will help it save 15 billion euros per year in the "medium term."

Well Done and congratulations to IG metall, the other labor union which I forget the name to and VW for securing a deal and that it will hopefully help out with their debt issue.

You know i once owned a successful business and my secret was allowing everyone to have skin in the game our profit margins were steady and we all had each other's back. Once we're all thrown in the same Fox hole we find out how much we really have in common. That's why I look forward to shaking many of your hands someday. Happy Holidays to all !!!
