I am sure none would claim that the US has not produced great things, but in an economy of world wide trade, even the US is very much dependent on foreign products.
Just for one high tech example, the most sophisticated chips in the computer you use (whether desktop, laptop or phone) are almost certainly produced in Taiwan, who in turn rely on high tech manufacturing equipment from Europe.
You're welcome, too! Isn't international trade a great thing?
- Dalewyn 4y agoThe point I am making is that America knows how to execute and succeed with engineering, unlike Japan. Look at Kioxia, formerly Toshiba Memory. Neglected and laid out to rot under Japanese hands, bought by Americans and immediately became one of the biggest names in NAND flash (and rightfully so as inventors of the damn thing). Japan can't succeed if success looked at them straight in the eye, and I'm tired of it.
