The tech companies early on had small margins and were mostly unprofitable. This forced them to seek tech workers outside the US. There were plenty of domestic tech workers but their wage levels were too high to allow tech companies to be profitable.

Part of the problem stemmed from Deming training the Japanese. And in turn, Deming trained the Japanese because American corporations and unions were effing stupid with a capital F in the 1960s, they were complacent, too cozy with their status quo. They needed their *sses kicked and the quality produced by the Japanese under Deming did just that.

See a humorous but very true film that explains all this dynamic:

GUNG HO!

Early on, correct.

But let’s not forget the high tariffs that made selling cars in those countries impossible, while the low tariffs on Japanese cars coming in more affordable.

What’s the excuse now?
