Every conspiracy involves communication. This guy was stupid enough to do it publicly.
Conspiracy? No one has to buy a Toyota. People sure as hell realize they don't have to from GM or Ford. It's their car they're trying to sell, and they should be free to sell it at whatever prices they want, in addition to being free to talk about that fact. Conspiracy! How far we've fallen indeed...
"Every conspiracy involves communication."
Back before the Japanese even thought about exporting their cars to US the conspiracy went like this. President of Ford calls President of GM, "Well how's the weather?" "Oh, it's fine". The price of the increase was set.
