Good assessment.
If a Japanese company has experience in infrastructure and wants to bid for a piece of the action, fine.
They’ll be using American workers.
Indeed. Accountability works.
I busted too much knuckle once obliged to use “Jap tools” 40 years ago — either too soft or poor tensile strength. But a lot changed since then, and no doubt competition helped to improve Japan’s tooling and products, and also U.S. products. Remember the US rust buckets? Once the Japanese imports became a threat, US autos finally realized the potential they always had.
