Toyota Suspends Production: The ongoing saga

ACCELERATION WOES

Between the US government trying to politically check Japan (keep buying those US Treasuries) and low sales is a hard place called idle production, Toyota's current humble adobe.

See my previous entry on Toyota's ulterior motives.

Anyways, people buying those Fords and other brands because of Toyota's problems with acceleration (regardless of whether it's real or not) will come back to Toyota if those other brands can't hack it. After all, it's better to have acceleration rather to have none.

Are the lower sales the result of the recall? Toyota's idling production around the world. Are recalls in America affecting sales elsewhere in the world? That's hard to believe.

THE VAMPIRE SQUID'S SAIMESE TWIN

Knock them down Matt Taibbi! He first reported on Goldman Sach with what can only be dubbed a vampire squid. Now he reports on its Siamese twin JP Morgan Chase and the looting they've been part and parcel to. Notice how the unsavory political figures went to prison but JP Morgan, with its invincibility shield on, remains untouched. How about prosecuting them JP Morgan boys who knowingly participated in bribery? The laws are not strong enough? You mean Al Capone went to prison for tax evasion instead of all the criminal mischief he caused?

A really good, clear, succinct article for Rolling Stone magazine by Matt which sheds insight on how things get done behind the scenes.
