“Would you fly a Japanese flag in your yard if it was made in America?”
I’m just saying Toyota has a lot of employees in Texas. I don’t know if it is still true, but several years ago the most American car you could buy was the Camry. Made in (I think) Ohio and had a higher percentage of parts sourced from the US than GM, Ford or Chrysler cars.
And not one employee is a member of the UAW.
All that is true, and nice, except....
...ultimately it funds foreigners. It goes to MITI (Ministry of Trade) in Jap gov, and supports the brain trust.
Meanwhile we have people who turn screws. But don’t know how to make them so they actually work, etc. IOW, basically like the illegal Mexicans decried here.
If we don’t have the brain power and the capital circulation, we’re done for.
