Am I the only person who is so shocked about the Toyota recall? Such a rock solid company that is in crisis. Similar to Sun Microsystem being bought by Oracle. Toyota has a longer history and high prestige in the global market. I am sitting there, jaw dropped.
Toyota news today
Another jaw dropper of the day: UK PMs Charged Over Expenses. Gone is the days when politicians were noble.
There will be earthquakes and tsunami that destroy lives; the U.S. could lead the global economy into financial crisis; the U.S. auto companies and financial sectors would need government bail-out; and the state of California could run bankrupt. On the brighter side: a black man could be the U.S. president; the Chinese would journey into space. We just have to be prepared for and adapted to any change that is coming up.
According to CNN yesterday, experts aren't buying Toyota's story about the cause of the failures, which means that Toyota still doesn't know what the real cause is - yikes! And if it could happen at Toyota, it could happen at any of the other car companies. It makes me wonder if systems have just gotten too complex. Failures in the digital realm are annoying, but in the physical realm, this problem takes on a special urgency.
