Except he's the only person in that lineup picture wearing that garbage.

There is some potential validity to your comment because I've heard that Japanese people don't get much information about the western world due to the language barrier

If it just turns out to be a misunderstanding due to language barrier then it's a misunderstanding

But if he knows full well what it means and what he is doing then he is a awful person

Unlikely, there's much less money in bikes than in cars and fuel so not as much to bribe with. Even contractors building the infrastructure get more constantly repairing roads with heavy vehicles than a one-time bike lane install.

Brown nosing only gets you so far, the only way to get anything done under a corrupt government is to enrich those in charge.

Is this the part where MAGA hangs itself with bedsheets during a gap in camera footage while the guards are napping?

It was a NASCAR event, not a Toyota event.

Japan is extremely conservative, so it’s not likely. They have good PR because they’re known internationally for anime and zany fashion… But the vast majority of Japan is extremely hardline conservative, and it has been getting worse recently too.

Jingoism has been on the rise in Japan, to the point that they have started discussing whether they should be allowed to have their own army again. That’s notable because in the wake of World War 2, Japan’s constitution was rewritten to explicitly forbid them from having an army. They’re only allowed to maintain a small Self-Defense Force, which isn’t allowed to operate outside of Japan.

Japan is just about as right wing as the US so, unfortunately, probably not. Their corporate culture is worse than it is in the US.

Those under him probably see him as a massive disappointment but can't speak out about it and have to constantly kiss his ass in order to keep their livelihood.

I keep going back and forth on this point. On the one hand, we have a CEO that is okay with these horrible optics. On the other, a CEO that is willing to eat a shit sandwich to keep his company (and everyone working for it) relevant in the absolutely massive US car market.

Buy a Corolla... Get a used one and have any service or maintenance you can't do yourself done at a locally owned shop. It's not ideal but it's as good as it's going to get

Subaru if you're okay with combustion. Hyundai maybe if you want to go electric?

Buy the corolla anyway.

Subaru or Honda.

Toyota Motorcycle?

Just don't buy a new vehicle.

Yeah fuck Dump and fuck this dick rider with the outfit but I'm having a hard time seeing how a $1b spend on manufacturing as bad.
