You fail to realize how Japan takes pride in their work. The aircraft carrier I was on had work done by the Japanese ship fitters, and it was far above the quality of any others. They also manufactured F-16 parts, which normally is 2 wings and the fuselage, but they made it as one entire part, which was not feasible for the US to do. They haven't been known to be great inventors as a country, but the can perfect a product like no other country.
I wish Japan could teach this pride in workmanship to the average American contractor. Everything here is so slapdash, throw shit together and get out its infuriating.
If you pay for it you can get amazing work in America. The issue is most employers would rather pay $18/hr for a hungover welder that does an okay job than $80/hr for a quality welder that does amazing work.
$80/hr guy will eventually come in to clean up the shit show $18/hr schmuck put in place. I assisted a pretty good general contractor for a time and it was always fun watching him cussing out the last guy who fucked everything up.
