Re: If you wish to be a capitalist, you have to abide to capitalism rules

There is a great American Life podcast on Toyota trying to explain this to American car makers. Ironically the plant they built is the one Telsa use in California

It wasn't just build engines badly. The US companies paid/penalised workers on their specific task - if the previous part was faulty you would just smash your stuff on top, even if that meant breaking both. Cars left the assembly line as a right-off when it could have just meant stopping to replace a stripped bolt.
