I know this is about people upset they can’t buy their $50k car, but keep in mind there are a lot of Toyota employees who are in a bad place right now. Even when the Georgetown plant was shutting down for COVID and paying people, it was not full pay and it put a huge dent in the lives of around 7,000 people just at that single plant. This is going to hurt a lot worse. I realize our luxury rock crawlers are precious to us, but keep these people in mind. It’s going to be a long ride for them. I had several neighbors who worked there and they’ve already been through a lot. All of them are, for whatever reason, not from the US originally, are new citizens, and I’m sure they have not planned for such strange circumstances. They all have a LOT of kids and most of their wives do not work. Long story, but these are super nice and good people who love their new country and I love them 100%. There are also thousands of regular American workers there, but they are much better prepared for this. Again, long story. It’s going to be tough. Keep these people in mind.
