he lives in the matrix and relies on everyone to agree to the thinly disguised fraud that his life must be in order to ignore the shocking blatant truths sitting there in front of him. It's ok, he happens to be in the majority, that's why crashes happen.

>>Aren't you in any way concerned that Japan may call in a few loans<<

No.

>>and devalue their currency<<

Great - big screen TVs get cheaper.

>>should I buy a Ford or... wait! A Toyota at half the price<<

More than half of Toyota's total global sales are now in the US. Two-thirds of the Toyotas sold in the US are built in the US (Kentucky, actually). Mediocre Ford management (and GM and Chrysler for that matter) only takes action when forced to - low cost foreign competition is good for them. It's the invisible hand of capitalism.
