No Toyota for you!
And you are a worthy opponent!

You hit it right on the button, about this being a code word for blacks.
I love how low-rent yokels like to think they are "supeeryur" to both yankees and immigrants. Personally, I never understood why folks come to this country from China, Russia, India, Cuba and Poland and start successful businesses and send their kids to college, while the brain-dead hicks still sit around getting fat and looking forward to the next tractor pull or a new Mega Wal Mart.
This is NOT true, btw, of all southerners or rural folk, just a class of people that I have dealt with while traveling the highways and byways of this great nation of ours. Lets not start pumping our chests about the superiority of our respective regions and how inferior "furners and bayners" are without acknowledging the fact that we have problems with some of our own people.
What makes you think the "average Po-dunk in Alabama" is working at these factories? Those type of jobs usually attract all you "educated folk" from the city, fleeing the urban crap holes you "educated folk" created.
Hope the folks in rural Louisiana can't read - you don't want a bunch of dolls looking like you with needles in them...
Letter transpositions are not the same as word/grammatical errors. A letter transposition is most often a typing error. A word/grammatical error often indicated the writer doesn't understand basic rules of language.
Get a clue. Spellcheck doesn't flag words that are misused.
No, it only flags words that are misspelled, like "tesitmony" genius.
It would be nice not to allow any of these vehicles to be sold in the United States. Maybe the people of Canada can be just as easy to train to buy these cars as they are to make them.

"4,000 Toyota workers at the company's two Cambridge, Ontario assembly plants.
~~snip~~
The plants produce the Toyota Corolla and Matrix, and Lexus RX 300.
Workers earn approximately $31.30 per hour.
"... said Gerry Fedchun, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, whose members will see increased business with the new plant.""Follow the money" as they say.
Well, us illiterates here in GA say that the best thing that comes out of AL is I-20 !
Are you claiming the rust-belt plants in Michigan are paragons of productivity and quality?
Os, waht's yuor piont? Any nimrod can use spell check. When you can recite Pi to the 48,000 decimal place come back and boast.
Neither does Toyota. Who is the quote in this article from?
Unfortunately, this is true. Fruehauf built a plant in Scott County, TN back in the mid-1980's in order to cut costs in building flatbed trailers. It had all the latest equipment in it.
Each flatbed trailer had about 40 manhours of labor in it when built in Indiana. The union workers in IN made about $12 per hour. The ones they hired in TN made about $6 per hour. The difference of about $240 cost per trailer (or about $500 retail) would have made Fruehauf competitive in that market again.
Unfortunately, the people in TN were never able to get the hours down to what they were in IN. Not even close. We are not just talking the startup phase. The plant was open for about 10-12 years after it was built, with several different owners trying their hand to reverse the losses. Last I read, it was closed down, never having made a profit.
...if Toyota is getting into Canada minus the auto union you can bet your paycheck that the CAW is going to drop down like a 500 Lb. monkey on their back in the not too distant future.

Watch the movie "The Grapes of Wrath" again. When they go into the diner to get bread and candy for the kids look on the wall behind the waitress. There is a sign offering a cup of coffee for 10¢ and a saucer of coffee for 5¢.
