02/10/2010
The NHTSA failed to take any action against Toyota when the company stalled for years in providing information from Japan to NHTSA investigators. Safety complaints were left unanswered, and investigations incomplete, and no effort was made to require Toyota to provide answers from Japan where quality matters are centralized. It took Toyota a long time to make the recalls and acknowledge the truth of complaints.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
