Brand Purchasing Considerations

If accurate should these points below affect the car you buy and drive ?

Aside from george sorros funding multiple disruptive organisations trying to destabilise the world for the last 40+ years - it seems another group funds a lot of unrest

Based in New York City. The Ford Foundation is an American private foundation with the stated goal of advancing human welfare. Created in 1936 by Edsel Ford and his father Henry Ford, it was originally funded by a $25,000 gift from Edsel Ford. By 1947, after the death of the two founders, the foundation owned 90% of the non-voting shares of the Ford Motor Company.. Between 1955 and 1974, the foundation sold its Ford Motor Company holdings and now plays no role in the automobile company.
 
And what I just heard says they are behind the riots coming on saturday


If you buy a used car and never have it serviced at a dealership then you're not funding Fords brand.  

Personally I do find this sort of thing interesting though, and do consider the moral implications of items I purchase or services I use.

Sad reality is that most of the major companies will be involved in things I don't agree with, and often compromise does have to made.

well you are advertising their brand for them...

and if serviced at a dealership I wonder how that goes - does a dealer get a bit for the building or just a % of each car sold or does the manu get a bung for each service carried out ?  and then we have genuine spares and accessories  

Fair point but I'm not sure it really counts as advertising on cars, there are too many of them to stand out nowadays.  I certainly don't look at any modern Ford and want to buy another Ford because of it.  I see plenty of them on recovery trucks too, so I guess that counts as a negative advert?

Good point about buying genuine spares though, hadn't thought about that.
