Remember when Japanese production was predicted to take over the known universe?

@ken-mb5cp Good point. American Co.s did get schooled tho and did advance significantly from the competition. Agility doesn't seem to have penetrated the Old Guard at all yet. It's healthy creative destruction for them to be replaced and the union mafias to go down with them. 100 yrs is a long time for any company. I came from a time when Sears was nearly indispensable in rural America, now forgotten and not missed. Amazon is infinitely better.

@ken-mb5cp Hence what we've been saying since the stock rocketed and all the predictable opportunists came out to fleece the naïve and reckless: "Tesla is the next Tesla." Others may eventually reproduce aspects of the culture in many industries but I agree. Elon is transforming far more than just sustainable energy but also what a CEO should be, fundamental ways to run a biz from trivializing job classifications and college degrees to hierarchy nonsense and even how to value a stock. (AMZN broke a lot of ground on the stock market front) Deff believe Elon is crucial to further speed, vision and progress, however Tesla and SpaceX would continue to thrive for decades without him, just not as much.

@bruceyung70 I didn't even bother with much of this vid, but it does seem Japanese automotive is going to be crushed this decade. GOOD on them for doing outboard boat engines, motorcycles, small generators, aircraft and whatever else. Top shelf stuff. But those sectors will also be transformed away from ICE to a large degree. They apparently are NOT planning on being players in the automotive space much longer.

Not refining so much as extraction, gas and oil come from the same natural processes and usually coexist in the ground. Gas also a common problem in underground coal mines.

@billweberx NOT what his second sentence says. Anyway it's trivial in this context.

@ken-mb5cp My original comment was also aimed at China skepticism. Tho as the USA today seems headed for civil war with CCP infiltration and assistance doing their part to enhance our retarded tribalism.....who knows.
