He paid well - and for many years got huge returns in terms of employee loyalty. His workers could afford to buy the cars they built.....
Then came the unions - promising "mo money".
It went downhill from there.
I have worked for companies that paid well. I made more in the 1990's in actial dollars than my SO makes now. (And she has the degree).
It is smart for companies to pay well - to employees that work well. It is how you get quality work and a low turnover in personell. You get company loyalty.
When you offer the lowest wages - expect shoddy employee performance.
It is blitheringly stupid for the government to require employers to pay higher wages to employees with no assets.
So, why is it that paying his lowest skilled - even his unskilled - workers a living wage makes Ford ‘brilliant’, but people who ask for that wage are ‘parasitic cunts’?

You seem to forget - Ford only paid equal wages in the beginning to all employees. He quickly learned that it did not work - abd adjusted the pay accordingly.
The Soviets tried this too. They did not learn.as fast as Ford.- but did eventually learn.
Sorry. Communism does not work.
People.need incentives.
