No doubt. Look where they were made.
If Japanese engineering is so BAD............................
then why is there SO MUCH OF IT BEING SOLD ACROSS THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just because a thing is made in Viet Nam or Thailand or some other third world place..............................
DOES NOT MEAN that Japanese were not involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For a number of decades now - Japan has been SETTING UP PLANTS..............................
AND HIRING WORKERS in the third world......................
TO MAKE STUFF FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Japanese ARE BEHIND THE SCENES in MANY INDUSTRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just as Chinese NOW do - since the Beijing Butchers have decided that the Japanese ARE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the SWEDES GO FOR THE SAME DOCTRINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go into any auto parts making plant in Durham Region.............................
IF YOU CAN FIND ONE STILL OPERATING now that GM is DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And LOOK AT the huge number of SWEDISH MADE CNC machines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Japanese and the Swedes and Germans have figured out it is MORE PROFITABLE..............................................
to make the machines that produce the goods..............
than it is to actually produce the consumer goods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Making the machines is HIGHER SKILL AND HIGHER PAY - AND RATHER LESS COMPETITION.................................
it is BETTER to make the machines that produce the consumer goods than to actually make the consumer goods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any imbecile can collect the gear shift knobs being spat out of a CNC machine..........................
or feed bolts into a robot machine..............................
but MAKING THE computer controlled MACHINE is much harder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And thus MUCH MORE PROFITABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which might just be a VALID REASON FOR FORD GOVT TO INSIST on delivering some school courses ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO ALL OUR KIDS - EVEN THE POOR ONES.........................
can get computer EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
