So we were doing our daily routine, getting some work done, doing some unrelated research on the internet about casters for furniture for his house (or something).... the usual, when the conversation steered towards........ TOYOTA
Boss: Not that I like TOYOTA in any way, the name itself makes me want to throw up, How can any person in their right mind drive a car named TO-YO-TAH, you gotta be crazy! But what is going on with this whole toyota thing is that somebody is doing it on purpose to them. How can all these things be happening to the cars and the company can not figure out the problem. They keep jumping between solutions. First it was the mat, then it was the pedal, then the software, not its not the software. The truth is that somebody figured out how to accelerate these cars remotely. Probably some hackers or.... I don't know how these things work. And it is most likely the US government that is doing this in their last attempt to revive GM Ford and Chrysler. Do you hear about these problems anywhere else in the world? No, only in United States. So I wouldn't put it past them (the government) to do this.
Me: but TOYOTA employs thousands of people in the United States too
Boss: It doesn't matter, when World War III happens who is the government going to ask to build tanks for us? Definitely not toyota. They need to keep GM and Chrysler alive for World War III
At this point I decide to stop feeding the fire because I didn't want to listen to a story about World War III, World War II, Hitler, Stalin, how the Italians were supposed to bomb his island but instead they dumped their bombs in the sea and the people were waiving to the pilots, because the Italians are lazy and didn't really want to fight or kill anybody anyway but the french are even lazier and let me tell you about the japanese and how they take off their pants and hold them when they're in the subway so they don't get wrinkles on their pants AND YOU'RE GONNA BUY A CAR FROM THOSE PEOPLE???
