Toyota and the bottom swimmers

Here we go..


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Society
KEYWORDS: automakers; toyota
Here we go. I'm sitting here in Connecticut surfing the political sites trying to stay informed. The television is on in the background when all of a sudden a commericial comes on from some subslime attorney. He is trolling for anyone owning a Toyota who may have been injured or had someone injured/killed while in a Toyota. I liked it better badk in the old days when lawyers were banned from advertizing. This is crazziness. Folks will be coming out of the woodwork for this one.

I heard that ad on Fox. I was amazed at how fast the ambulance chasers jumped on this one. People wonder why insurance is so high? It’s the lawyers like this that are driving up the prices and the people that use them. Fox needs to stop running their ads.

No picture of an attorney on the ad. Sure there will be as more lawyers jump on the bandwagon.

Didn't take them long did it? Spending 30+ years in law enforcement gave me a new found respect for criminals. They are at least three steps above the attorneys in ethics.

Conspiratorial thought...on whether it would be advisable for government motors to destroy Toyota sales and incentives.

All the same, get better floor mats & adhere to the recall.

Soros has a big stake in that Chinese Communist car company, after all......Wonder who else does.

“...(Maurice) Strong has receded, as he often does, into the shadows. He is currently spending most of his time in China. His name flickered recently through the speaker lineup for a gala dinner for clean technologies in San Francisco, but the organizers say he then canceled because “he has so much going on” in China.

China is a special place for Strong, a self-declared, life-long socialist. It is the burial place of a woman said to be one of his relatives, the famous pro-communist American journalist Anna Louise Strong, a vociferous supporter of Lenin and Stalin until the mid-‘30s, and a strong booster of Mao Zedong’s China. Maurice Strong’s presence in Beijing, however, raises awkward questions: For one thing, China, while one of the world’s biggest producers of industrial pollution, has been profiting from the trading of carbon emissions credits – thanks to heavily politicized U.N.-backed environmental deals engineered by Strong in the 1990s.

Strong has refused to answer questions from FOX News about the nature of his business in China, though he has been linked in press reports to planned attempts to market Chinese-made automobiles in North America, and a spokesman for the U.S.-based firm that had invited him to speak in San Francisco, Cleantech Venture Network, says he has recently been “instrumental” in helping them set up a joint venture in Beijing. Strong’s assistant in Beijing did confirm by e-mail that he has an office in a Chinese government-hosted diplomatic compound, thanks to “many continuing relationships arising from his career including 40 years of active relationships in China.”

And from China, Strong has to this day maintained a network of personal and official connections within the U.N. system that he has long used to spin his own vast web of non-governmental organizations, business associates and ties to global glitterati. Within that web, Strong has developed a distinctive pattern over the years of helping to set up taxpayer-funded public bureaucracies, both outside and within the U.N., which he then taps for funding and contacts when he moves on to other projects.”

Law enforcement is not what it was when I was a kid. It had its problems but not like today. At least you knew, with a criminal, he would either shoot you or he wouldn’t. With lawyers today, you never know.

I rarely invest in individual stocks.

But it seems like just the moment to buy Toyota shares.

Everyone is piling on, and it looks the worst.

But Toyota may be the best run company in the world. They will recover.

Smells like a buying opportunity.

I agree. It's a good time to buy Toyota. They are a good company. If my ex didn't own everything I have and everything I will ever have, I'd invest.

I think with the herd mentality of so many Americans it’s a ploy for taking more money from a corporation. You KNOW they are evil, rich and only concerned with keeping the average person down.
