Curt Doolittle updated his status.

—“Henry Ford wanted essentially one perfect car, free of lies (technical imperfection is a form of lie), and sold on a perfectly honest conditions – i.e. the buyer has to be debt-free (and prove it) and no Ford had to be sold on interest, ever. These principles actually hurt Ford company financially, as other companies that produced technically imperfect, but beautiful and comfortable (deceptive) cars and sold them on interest to the debt-ridden population of the world (dishonestly) made quick gains in the 1930s. But Ford did not budge until he was convinced by Roosevelt that the whole US state needs to move forward, and it depends on Henry Ford being flexible about his moral stance. Being rather moderate Episcopalian, not a staunch Calvinist, Ford found a way to compromise.”— Igor Rogov
