  • Speaking of Japanese economic recovery post-WWII, Sony also has a wild story. Operating out of a derelict apartment store, they used to run a radio repair shop and make Rice Cookers (quite poorly I might add).

    Then they got permission from some electronic transistor patent holders to fabricate their own semiconductors and created things such as megaphones, tape recorders, and eventually radios. Cheap Japanese transistor radios became a huge export.

    Now they make stereos, headphones, cameras, televisions, 4k rectal endoscopes, printers, etc.







  • Yeah obviously they had more people in the gaza strip before this war began. Tens of thousands of deaths later, how many are probably left? Nobody knows.

    Worst case scenario is those tens of thousands were almost entirely civilians, like 99%, and there are still thousands of fighters, but if that were the case then I imagine Israeli Losses would be higher than 1,478 Israelis.
