🚗📅 On this day in 1903, the Ford Motor Company sold its first car, marking the beginning of a new era in American transportation while Theodore Roosevelt was President. 🚘✨ Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Ford shared a mutual respect and vision for progress, each leaving a lasting impact on American society through their respective contributions. Roosevelt and Industrial Progress: As a champion of industrial innovation, Theodore Roosevelt's presidency saw significant advancements in technology and infrastructure. He supported policies that fostered economic growth and was an advocate for fair labor practices. Roosevelt's push for antitrust laws and regulation of big businesses aligned with Ford's efforts to create a more equitable and efficient industrial environment. Ford's Revolutionary Impact: Henry Ford revolutionized the automotive industry with the introduction of the assembly line in 1913, significantly lowering the cost of car production and making automobiles accessible to the average American. Ford's implementation of the $5 workday and an eight-hour workday set new standards for fair wages and working conditions, mirroring Roosevelt's commitment to improving the lives of American workers. Roosevelt and Ford's contributions helped shape modern America, fostering an era of unprecedented growth and innovation. Let's celebrate this historic milestone and the enduring impact of their collaboration in spirit!

A Win for Detroit The new rule for car makers from the US Government gives them a bit more time to adjust to fuel efficiencies and the electrification movement. A possible reason why is that foreign car makers are leaps and bounds ahead on the technology and manufacturing curve compared to American OEMs. Without this rule, huge shifts in sales and market share would have possibly moved to foreign car markers, and the US OEMs would have been burdened with huge fines. A win for Detroit. Keeps the Detroit OEMs in the car business. Hopefully the Tigers and Lions will catch on this momentum??? Maybe the Lions ... maybe. Article in the comments below.
