Feds harassing legitimate business Chicago-style...Toyota didn’t play the game.

It’s time for Federal agents to “Just Say No”.

New car designs and other sensitive R&D material will likely find it's way over to Government Motors, Chrysler, and the UAW.

Sensitive trade secrets such as build high quality cars and customers will flock to your showrooms?

Interesting way to address the competition.

1. Japan is America’s largest creditor (Chi-coms dumping their Treasuries).
2. If Japan exports drop (e.g., selling fewer Toyota’s), how do they earn the dollars to loan back to us by buying our Treasuries?
3. Fewer dollars= fewer Japanese buyers, so interest rates on US Treasuries must go up to attract the smaller pool of buyers.
4. Higher interest rates mean we all pay higher taxes.

All in all, a really stupid, counterproductive government attack on our banker and ally that hurts the average American.

Never used the cruise control in the time I have had the car. No, I am an excellent driver. I always drive a standard. I have driven Saabs, Fords, Subarus, and now a Toyota.

This car accelerated on its own. Make no mistake. V’s wife.

“On its face” is never the case with rats. There’s always an undehanded motive behind their actions. That’s number one. Number two is that, depending on what they find at those suppliers, the next step is jack-booting some more subpoenas only to Toyota. They’re looking for a nexus of collusion and the extent of the kowledge that Toyota had as the alleged deficiencies so they can nail them either from criminal negligence and/or RICO.

They’re going somewhere with this and Toyota is the target, not the suppliers. When the Feds come in with those subpoenas, they’re looking for cooperation in ratting out the target.

I’m not certain that temporary labor gets unemployment. Not up on the latest rules. But it will whack our economy this summer in either case.

No it never happened to me, but being in the electronics field I have lately been hearing people who don’t know any better say that something like walkie talkies can cause stuff to do things and cause that sort of thing, it doesn’t work that way. Just think about it, if it was that simple nothing would be viable. RF in every possible frequency is all around us and our stuff works just fine for the most part.
