Wouldn’t Henry Ford refute all 5?

He raised wages for his workers so that they had the opportunity to buy the very products he was producing en masse.

He understood that his wealth depended on making sure that his employees could share in it - buying the products and spending them so that others too could buy his cars.

Automobiles were luxury items 100 years ago, Henry Ford wanted to increase the market beyond a handful of wealthy eccentrics.

General Motors allegedly fucked up public transportation in major cities in order to promote the use of personal vehicles.
