No guy Japan builds the F-2 that is made similar to the F16 design.
Do you believe Americans who work full time should earn a living wage?

WRONG. Japan builds a F2 which borrows the design of the F16. Lockheed does actually help build parts of the F2, but Japan does not build the F16.
Japan does produce a F15J but that is under license from Boeing

what ever dude it really doesn't matter lol
japan south korea build f16's under license still 40 percent of the parts comes from usa
F-16s are still produced for export, and these cost as much as $70 million each (the F-16I for Israel). Some nations, like South Korea, build the F-16 under license.

First, the Falcon has been a Martin product since day one.
Second, Lockheed employs over 100,000 people world wide. most in the Islands and some in Japan.
Third, the freight goes to Md and the plane is assembled to order, then they slap a made in USA tag on it.
You can argue ,....it`s not.......

China is the big buyer of the Falcon. 125 count and spares with facilities and data links to Martin. It`s a nice plane.....

No, your evilness began way before, when you stole oranges and continued thru your later years when you pilfered ladies underwear from the dryers and kept them in your secret stash for your perverse pleasures. It's okay though, I heard you make good beer.
Also, you never answered why you think a military industrial parasite company is "we". I reject alliances with killers and manufacturers of death machines. Sell your stock and grow food, you will feel better about your contribution to humanity.

no you do. The F16 is not being built in Japan. No parts of the fuselage, wings, flight controls or final assembly is built nor manufactured in Japan. Now if you are speaking about the F2 which is built off the design of the F16 then you would be correct. We still produce the F16 here and export.

One of the hardest things I've had to come to terms with in being a software engineer is that the majority of my job is to put other people out of work. The justification for almost every project I've ever done has included saving money by reducing the work force, or keeping the workforce the same and handling a larger work load. Its sad, it isn't fair, and it has occasionally kept me up at night (although not as much as the software I wrote for the military), but there it is.
The minimum wage is a vicious circle. An employers largest expense is its work force. When the cost of the work force increases due to the minimum wage increasing, it is usually passed on to the consumer in the way of higher prices, which in turn increases the cost of living, which requires a higher minimum wage, which takes us back to the beginning of the circle. In some countries (Japan I believe) the highest wage a CEO of a company can earn is determined by the lowest wage of persons working in the company. As such, these companies tend to have a flatter organizational structure, and bonuses for corporate executives usually take a hit when their margins are low rather than the cost of goods sold. This obviously would not work in a "free" market such as the one established in this country, but it is an example of a better solution than requiring a minimum wage.
Increasing the minimum wage alone will never serve as a long term solution to give someone a livable wage. I do believe everyone should be able to earn a livable wage, and in a fair world that would be the case. If I ever get the opportunity to live in such a world, I plan to move there.

Yes a former neighbor of mine (a career criminal) did more than crime. Sometimes his psychosis allowed him to be polite and thoughtful in between stealing things, committing fraud and being a police informant.
I think he may have even been nice to his wife when he wasn't beating her.
So, yeah, keep deluding yourself that death merchants are doing good, because they sponsor a DARE community picnic or something.

You sure love to rant about schools, students and education but your poor English skills belie a need for education yourself.

Are you having trouble reading,...? I did not ever say it`s being assembled in Japan. The plane is made to order in Md. but you`ll find it`s parts are not. LM headquarters is in MD, but it no longer has a foundry or machine works in the States. Too many laws and taxes. The Philippines is the area where plating and emission laws are relaxed.

Seems like you live in a pretty bad area. How often did you hang out with your neighbor to know so much about him ? Have you thought about giving your land back to the people/nation it belongs ?

No the area is rural and peaceful. A one in a thousand chance. I try not to associate with thugs.
I have thought about it, but your government killed them all.
