Cartridges and old man

@Schubert,

You live in the past. In Japan it is becoming more and more rare to even start a family.

Japan is has the most aging population of any country world wide. Italy is second. Fewer and fewer people in Japan have children

Personally I think this is a good development, we do not need more people in the world, a few billion less would be better.

Didn't Nakatsuka-san learn his trade from the old Dynavector man. I forgot his name. I know van den Hul started at EMT making and improving their carts.

Yes, I know all that Mordante.
I didn't think it was necessary to say that in those families who have children........
Perhaps I did give"gonners too much credit as an educated
bunch.

Schubert,

Please prove that it is(more)normal in Japan to continue the family business. No anecdotal evidence please.

Maybe I'll ask a friend of mine to see if he knows. He studied Japanese.

Sorry Mordace, would that I could, but such a feat is far beyond my limited abilities.

I know many cases of children continuing the family business these days. So it definitely happens, especially when said business is profitable and looks to continue to be.

A lot of Mom and Pop businesses go under though, that is true. Nobody wants to be on a sinking ship.

I am a case where I could have elected to continue the family business. Sometimes I wish I would have in that it is a very lucrative business with a lot of financial appeal these days. It also involves a lot of hard dirty manual labor.

I chose to go to college though and ended up an engineer. Can't complain. Maybe if I had an interest in running a business years ago, that would have turned out different.
