Krause purchased a Toyota Tundra. I am sure he is completely

for those 30,000 employees losing their job.
He should be ashamed of himself.
Then bottom line, he and his ilk *are* responsible for those lost
jobs.
Hang on a minute, Scupper. I thought you right wing fags believe
in
personal
responsibility. It sure seems that way when you're slamming the
welfare
system. But now, GM gets a pass because not enough customers want
their
cars?
It's more a red state blue state thingy. Real Americans live in red
states, buy GM or Ford, and support their country. Them leftists
living
in blue states allowed to drive make payments on foreign tinkle
toys.
Bottom line...the Looney Left does not support their country or
traditional American values. They weaken American at every turn.

That's because righties are lemmings, lefties are not. A right
winger
would buy American no matter what, because they're told to do so. A
left winger would use their brains, and know that some of the
foreign
models are more dependable, and better equipped for less money.
And then bitch about the jobs going overseas.

My Tacoma was built in California. IIRC, the engine block came from
Japan,
but Toyota does that to protect my job. It guarantees that the vehicle
will
get me to work many more times than another brand.





I recall reading several years ago that Toyota was planning to
manufacture some of its truck engines in the USA, too, but I haven't
followed that story, so I have no idea whether it took place.

Some of us realize that if the US had a decent program of national
health insurance and pension programs, as most other modern nations do,
our manufacturers would be more competitive.

If we all gave the money to the government, we wouldn't be able to buy
the
products at the prices they'd want anyway.

I heard this on 700 WLW this morning. The figures are what I recall as
being reported but may be off by a couple of hours:

Average number of hours to produce a car:

Toyota 21 hours
Ford 26 hours
Chrysler 34 hours
GM 38 hours

Add to that the health care coverage and pension giveaways and one wonders
why GM is struggling?


And how badly do the unions fight against robotics?

Go figure.


Because of its anti-Christmas stance, Wal-Mart gets none of my business
this year.

Last year I canceled my Macy's card, with a letter explaining that I didn't
like their Christmas stance (not using the word).

This year Macy's is using "Merry Christmas" every chance it gets. I guess
they got the word.

We'll see if Wal-Mart amends its policy. I sent them a letter informing
them of my stance.
