In what can only be described as a scene straight out of the most ironical episode of The Twilight Zone, Ford Motor Company has successfully ended a 41-day auto strike after promising an impressive 25% raise to their factory workers. The new agreement does away with cruel practices like different pay tiers that disadvantaged Metal Gear Solid players, i.e., junior employees. However, the main selling point was undoubtedly the 25% pay raise, an increase which may finally make it possible for the workers to afford the vehicles they produce. "Really, it just took a handful of us with rusty abacus to crunch the numbers," one anonymous Ford executive shared. "After we crunched, I mean really crunched those numbers, we figured out the math. Pay the people who make the cars enough money to buy the cars - that was the key! And sure enough, it even boosts sales. Who knew?" Not everyone was quite so enthusiastic. One grizzled industry vet reluctantly holding the latest Ford Escape brochure remarked, "At these prices, even with a 25% wage increase, I might be able to afford a Ford Pinto in a few years. I mean, those things are classics, right?" Furthermore, Ford's promised cost-of-living adjustments in the offer have been described as 'revolutionary.' A factory worker noted, "So, you're telling me my wage will keep up with inflation now? What's next, unicorns on the assembly line?" This extraordinary move by Ford means that instead of spending their overtime cranking out Ford F-150s, their workers can now fulfill their lifelong dreams of owning one. Soon enough, every Ford employee's driveway will spark with the glint of shiny new, employee-discounted Ford vehicles. Ford's historic agreement with the United Auto Worker (UAW) union is not only paving the way to advanced prosperity for employees but seems to have also discovered a new, groundbreaking marketing strategy - “Make what you can afford." It remains to be seen whether other giants in the auto industry will follow suit. In completely unrelated news, Bentley, a luxury car manufacturer, has reported a sudden and inexplicable increase in job applicants.
