Yeah, real funny until we need replacement parts for all of that Japanese stuff we bought.Originally posted by yavoon
funny stuff. tho as is obvious. japan exports to us far more than we export to them. so to cut off relations only hurts them(like that would happen over a few lawyers neway, just pointing out).
I would point out that the few things we still manufacture are manufactured with Japanese tools and robots (this includes the few electronic items we still manufacture).- "A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it still ain't a part number." - Ron Reynolds

the US still manufactures quite a few things. obviously if the japanese cut us off a huge industry of getting the american economy replacement japanese parts would spring up overnight. so thats irrelevant.Originally posted by The Templar

but to point out, honda has a plant in the US. as do lots of other companies because it provides stability against monetary fluctuation, tariffs, and any number of other unknowns.Comment

When I was a college kid I worked in a few factories. All of the tools and robots were Japanese.
Ah yes, the other reason why sanctions are pointless. Besides, I want my imported smoked kelp.but to point out, honda has a plant in the US. as do lots of other companies because it provides stability against monetary fluctuation, tariffs, and any number of other unknowns.

I don't see replacement parts being a huge problem. I mean there's any one of like 50 solutions. maybe the most evident being that if we were THAT pissed at japan(and vice versa) to close each others borders that we would simply start manufacturing the parts ourselves.
and I didn't think we were talking about tariffs or sanctions(japan has lots of those against us) I thought we were talking about closed borders.Comment

Perhaps you could use the smiley. And I didn't mean you specifically because I have actually met people like that. Stupid moronmons!

I'm not either. I was hoping you could help. I think I could put the word relief into an ascii "smiley" but it wouldn't be the same relief.
