Al, > Toyota would still be a textile company today if not for gov intervention and subsidies...the Japanese economy is rife with intervention... Yeah, must be the same ... except that: - Toyota didn't go bankrupt during the recession - Japanese union workers aren't as lazy or demanding as their American counterparts - Toyota doesn't get any special subsidies from the American government to manufacture and sell in America - Japanese government intervention didn't do anything to prevent the "Lost Decade." Still want to pretend that a $40,000 plug-in hybrid makes more economic sense than a $27,000 Prius (and that's after the huge dealer markup)? Tenchusatsu
