THe Japanese have a territory about the size of California populated by 1/3 the population of the United States.

Their expertise would fall into the trashcan if someone said "Gee, besides all of that, go serve Siberia".

Our people do not lack the expertise of how to run a railroad ~ they simply lack a market for what they are selling.

Have you ever been to Japan? I lived there for 27 years - went there in 1945. I don't think it's the territory - it's how you market the product - which the Japanese are very good.

Also look at the airlines - Our taxes are keeping them afloat. There's no problem in territory concerning the airlines. Yet you see one by one going into BK.

Remember when MGM was the No. 1 movie producer? Now it's called SONY.
