When they start up again, I’ll probably buy one of their trucks. obami and his regime blckmailed them with the fake brake issue and the best part, obami’s crowd of idiots was once again WRONG.
The big thing to me is to buy a car or truck NOT made by the other extortionist outfit, the UAW.

“Wouldnt make sense to manufacture the parts in the US if they are used here? “
You didn’t read the article. 85% of their parts are made in the US. It’s the other 15%, the ones that require more than a THIRD GRADE education, that still have to be made in Japan (even though much more expensive there).
They have tried their best to move as much production as possible to here, but the teachers’ unions will not let them send the rest.

And so the real economic impact starts to begin...as many here said only the Japanese would be effected.
As I have said from the very beginning...the world wide effect will be tremendous ..will trickle down..and spiral on to other sectors.

Wouldnt make sense to manufacture the parts in the US if they are used here? Japan will never make up what they have lost. Sounds logical to me, from a business stand point.....just sayin.
Obviously Toyota disagrees.

So the profits go back to Japan while Americans with proper slave mentality cheer Toyota for making jobs
The Japanese know how to keep the UAW away from their assembly lines. If you want prosperity to return to America, fight Big Labor, don't complain about those who have refused to knuckle under to it in their American factories.
