I’m glad our heritage brands are updating. I think McDonald’s can do better and I’m looking to see what Coca Cola is going to do. France is really good about keeping their companies alive over centuries. Japan too.

I think both are strong examples of pride and loyalty. Japan especially. A little off topic but the way Japans CEO navigated the EV transition should be studied - very interesting approach to maximize profits, appeal to the masses, and maintain its prestige

bulleted quick overview - japan ceo playbook on the ev shift

- multi‑pathway: leaders bet on hybrids + fuel cells + selective bevs to protect margins, brands, and dealer networks. (https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/toyota-posts-78-surge-in-q4-operating-profit-3427241)
- toyota: ramping ev models (~15) and eyeing ~1m units by 2027, but trimmed near‑term targets and keeps hybrids central.
- honda: paused/rolled back big ev push; cut electrification spend and refocused on hybrids.
- nissan: shelved a planned lfp battery plant amid restructuring.
- result: domestic ev sales weakness, charger shortages, and chinese/s-korean makers gaining share.

@neynar got a bulleted quick overview and trusted journalist write ups about what basement mentioned about Japan CEOS EV transition strategy?

I agree re: pride/loyalty. I think the US is built on being more dynamic so we still have a lot to learn on pairing that base with healthy pride while keeping loyalty something earned. 

Not hip on Japan EV transition. Got a rundown before I go search?
