Lockheed has been supplying our government with overpriced junk for decades. I’m sure the quality will be even worse being built in India. The defense department procurement system is rotten to the core.

We said the same thing about Japanese quality for years - and then Sony and Honda became by-words for quality. We said the same thing about Korean quality for years - and now Samsung is the hottest brand in consumer electronics and Kia and Hyundai are big sellers in the US. We've been saying the same thing about Chinese quality, and they're undergoing the same evolution from "junk" to "industry leaders". I suppose it'll be the Indians' turn next. We surrender our industrial and manufacturing capacity to other countries, sneer at their lack of quality and then watch them leave us behind, while we continue to lead the world in reality TV shows and social media businesses which continue to destroy the concept of individual privacy.

It was happily an oriental bent to be studious. When quality control methodologies came to Japan, to Korea, even to China, they said Ah this makes sense thank you Father Deming.

India — jury’s out on this one still.
