Well Glenn Beck puts out a great warning video in the Rumble link below, on Japan’s impending economic collapse. 7 Trillion in the hole and no one came bail them out. US Military tied into theirs, and US and Japan have been shell gaming their bonds together for decades. But now that US DemoLibs are shelling out billions to launder in Ukraine, we have no ability further to shell game Japan’s bonds. Economic Default is coming by Sept. or sooner period, which will in-turn cascade our bond market.
Red October might also be stocks and bonds deeper in red, besides a conservative midterm sweep. Sorry for the Yahoo link, but their business finance has a great article on Not Intervening On The Yen, to back up Glenn’s info. Not good Anons, not good at all.

True, but at least they don't have vaccine mandates and aren't punishing people for not getting vaccinated. They opened up the country to student and business visas in March and my son was able to get in to go to university despite not having the covid jabs. He had to stay in a hotel for quarantine for 3 days but was allowed to leave for food whenever he wanted, so he went to the supermarket, etc all the time.
His school hasn't mandated the vaccines for anyone. The government has issued warnings that businesses, etc. not discriminate against the unvaccinated. His school had technically mandated masks but no one there cares if you wear one or not, there is zero virtue signalling over it.
Compared to Canada where he came from, where he could not use public transportation or get on an airplane, even to leave for 4 years (we had to smuggle him out to the US to get him on a flight) and where all students have to be vaccinated to attend university, Japan is a breath of fresh air.
The border closures are terrible and I pray they open up soon to tourism, etc., but day-to-day living in Japan - my son hasn't experienced freedom and lack of judgement like that in 2 years. Canadians are particularly judgy and virtue-signally, though, so perhaps it's a low bar.
Oh, I remember you! I'm glad your son was finally able to come to Japan. Yes, the announcement was made in December that there will be no discrimination against unjabbed people. Before then, I was afraid my wife and I would be out of a job this year and that our work contracts would not be renewed in April.
Oh haha, yes, I've posted before about it. It's been a major part of my family's life this past year as we waited for the borders to open to students, at least.
It's great that you're not out of your jobs. The closed borders are just terrible, I can't imagine how hard it is for many businesses and schools right now.
I just wish Canada were more like Japan in many respects because life sucks here right now. Our Prime Minister is advocating that people shun the unvaccinated, calling us misogynists, racists, and sexists, and asking if we should even be tolerated. We can't leave the country at all legally.
My son is having the time of his life at university in Osaka and it's such a relief to have him be in a country that doesn't call for his banishment from society. He barely left the house for the past 2 years and now he's out every single day, going for dinner, etc, with his friends and just living life normally. He never wants to come back to Canada.
Osaka is great. The Kansai culture is very friendly while the Kanto (Tokyo) culture is rather cold. When I lived in the Kansai area 20+ years ago, I'd walk into places to get food and complete strangers would buy me a beer.
That's interesting. Before he left everyone was telling us how unfriendly the Japanese were and how they don't like Westerners, but his experience has been great. He already has a big group of Japanese friends. I don't think he's spent a single evening alone since he arrived in early April.
