Understanding Toyota Sudden Acceleration
As a materials and manufacturing engineer with decades of experience with failure analysis of manufactured products, and as an owner of a Toyota vehicle, I am saddened by the lack of expertise and insight shared with Congress and the public about the sudden acceleration problem. When products fail due to a systemic design, materials or manufacturing flaw, large and statistically significant levels of problems emerge fairly rapidly. This is definitely not the case with the Toyota problem. With many millions of Toyota models on which even more millions of miles have been driven, if there had been an inherent materials or manufacturing design defect, then we would have seen untold thousands of cases of sudden acceleration. It literally would have been virtually a daily event happening all over the country in many Toyota models.. » read more
The Truth Finally Comes Out American Carmakers Are Important
BACKGROUND: There were newspaper headlines in 2006 with Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan making outrageous statements that GM would probably ask him to run the company. His buddy and investor in GM, Kirk Kerkorian treated the American public with a "no holds barred" battle to force an alliance between the Japanese company and GM. He failed. The talks ended in the fall after some excellent maneuvering by the GM Board and Rick Wagoner, then CEO of GM. Now the full truth about Nissan and Ghosn has come out.. » read more
Levin Demands Blackwater/Raytheon Probe
Last week, Fred Roitz, a top executive at Xe Services (formerly Blackwater), made a stunning admission. Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee, he said Raytheon had requested that Blackwater create a shell company in order to win a $25 million subcontract to train Afghan troops. In Roitz's telling, Raytheon apparently wanted to do business with Blackwater, yet didn't want to be associated with its controversial brand. Blackwater obliged, creating a subsidiary called Paravant that was separate from its parent company in name alone. Armed services committee member Sen.. » read more

Green Jobs here?...or China?
A group of Democratic senators is concerned that the Obama administration's efforts to promote economic stimulus, aimed at financing renewable energy, is creating jobs in foreign countries. The four senators, led by Chuck Schumer of New York, wrote to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Tuesday to request a moratorium on the Recovery Act program.

Policy Is Everything In Destroying And Effecting The American Economy
The United States is well known throughout the world as a capitalistic country but according to "Deindustrializing America, 1982, Japan, Inc has a different method of managing its economy though it is capitalistic. The Japanese government is heavily involved in managing or suggesting companies "invest in growth industries and disinvest in declining ones. But the intentions of Japan in existing with the U.S. economy are and have been a little more than just competition between two countries.. » read more

Japanese Cultivate Favor With Government Officials Four Governors Write Congress To Be Nice
The most outrageous thing imaginable happened recently when four Governors of American states wrote to Congress to be fair with a Japanese company, Toyota which is a Japanese automaker who has ignored American citizens’ safety costing them their lives because the Japanese wanted to make a "buck". In addition, Governor Haley Barbour, Mississippi and Chairman of the Governor's Association wrote a piece for the Washington Post appealing for "Fairness for Toyota". Where is the fairness for the American families who have lost loved ones in the sudden acceleration of cars and it is not just in one model of Toyota but more. Where is the fairness for those individuals who were so frightened by sudden acceleration but by some blessing were able to survive the threat without dying? Governor Barbour points out how valuable Toyota is to America because of their investment in the U.S.. » read more

Thank You Microsoft!
Thank you for using your financial might and ruthless business practices to destroy almost all of the competition out there so that for the most part PC users have only your inferior products from which to choose. (Mac and Linux users aside) Thank you for your latest set of "security" patches that have caused EVERY ONE OF MY COMPUTERS TO BLUE SCREEN 20 TIME PER DAY RENDERING THEM USELESS! And thanks for not making a public apology about this. Thank you for the many service packages and updates that have steadily degraded my computers performance, forcing me to spend more money on things like RAM just to keep from having to buy a new computer. Thank you for rendering obsolete my computer and operating system each second year, along with everything I purchased or re-purchased because whatever I still had was not compatible. Thank you for the many "improvements" to your operating systems that render the thousands of dollars worth of hardware and software I have purchased useless.. » read more
