You write: “Watching a show with that Honda robot walking up and down stairs and the rest, all I could think of is that the Japanese are developing humanoid robots and we’re importing illiterates from south of the border – who’s going to end up with the better deal?”
Gee, which country’s economy grew from $3 trillion to $5 trillion between 1990 and now and which country’s economy more than doubled, from $5 trillion to $12 trillion? The country that did vastly better is the county that “imported illiterates.”
