    Nissan CEO Out With No Successor Named

      **waves bye**

    The latest CEO at Nissan, Hiroto Saikawa, is out-of-office permanently as of September 16th after yet another financial scandal rocks the company.  Saikawa is the second Nissan CEO to be tainted by financial misconduct allegations. 

    Allegedly, Saikawa received improper payments with regards to the sale of Nissan stock. The payments were after the date of the sale of the stock was altered and netted Saikawa additional hundreds of thousands of dollars. Saikawa has not yet been charged with a crime. Saikawa originally said he would stay on until a replacement was found, but abruptly changed course and formally resigned today.

    The temporary replacement will be Chief Operating Officer Yasuhiro Yamauchi until a permanent replacement has been found. There are currently ten candidates for the positions and Nissan says it is considering outsiders and non-Japanese.

    Boy did Ghosen really leave the auto industry screwed for this and a couple other companies.

    Just remember that Carlos Ghosn was an autocrat with no succession plan.  This is why Nissan is a SNAFU.

    • I do not, but labor is about 7% of the cost of a car.  You could say 25% tax on Chinese built cars like you have with the Chicken tax and that has seemed to work stopping Euro truck imports.  But the Chinese car companies can also build cars in Mexico, or Brazil or Indonesia or wherever else with lower labor cost than the USA too. The idea of tariffs are needed to boost jobs and manufacturing in the USA is a flawed theory though, because ever since April when the tariffs hit, unemployment as gone up and number of manufacturing jobs in the USA has gone down.  It is bad economics. We buy clothes, computers, shoes, phones, plastic lawn decorations and all other kind of stuff form Asia because it is lower cost.  I don't think cars should be any different really.  If BYD can sell a $25,000 3-row SUV then more power to them, and let consumers decide if they want to buy that or a $45,000 Traverse and if they perceive the Chevy as better quality then they'll pay the difference just as some people buy clothes at Walmart and some buy at Nordstrom.  
    • I want northing to do with organized religion, MAGA, buying American, being American, cheering for American sports teams, being a Nazi, supporting a Nazi, etc. 
    • What is the 51st state doing making their own trade agreements?  
    • I would counter that I would feel less safe in a state with open carry and no regulation like Florida and Texas. Not everyone has the skill or can properly handle the weapons they carry. The year I lived in Texas, I came across way too many situations where the gun owner actually ended up making things worse as common sense is not so common. Without clear training, regulations on how and what you can carry, someone with a machine gun might just get road rage and go off firing causing many problems. @A Horse With No Name Great trip pictures, love the trip, looks like it was fun. It dawned on me that I am surprised the MAGA have not attacked the arts yet as the soft nudity is immense and that would offend their bible thumping attitude one would think.
    • You wanna have Chinese wages in the US too?  One of my clients outsources their helpdesk to the Philippines. I've been involved in the hiring process and what they're paying the outsourcing company (who takes a cut) for a month salary is half what someone would make working in the US at federal minimum wage. I'm sure China is similar.
