I see someone didn't watch at least a half-dozen films about Japanese zaibatsus, starting with Kurosawa's 'The Bad Sleep Well'.

    Labor laws, whatever you want to call them. Main point is that it's not normal for companies to layoff 10, 20, 50% of its workforce while reporting record profits.

    Can I believe Japanese companies resisted that? Sure. But something had them lose out compared to the US'slobbying.
