Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I pray for Japan, as they're going through another crash on the level of what started the Lost Decades.
America First, yes. But I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Land of the Rising Sun.
The Lost Decade was nothing but a country refusing to play the central bankers' inflation game. Yes, it can be said that it "stagnated", but only when compared to the rest of the world that had been put on the rocket charged treadmill.
This allowed Japan to stay "Made in Japan" through out the decades.
This is why, even after all these years, you get amazing products and services while Japan has retained its distinct culture.
Yes, an average Japanese earns less than his western counterpart, but leads a much better quality of life. The only Japanese who suffer most are those who put themselves on this same treadmill, working for multinationals in Tokyo.
Right now what is going on? Stock market is the least of our worries. Its the debt market and currency market that really matters.
This. graph is all you need to see.
Yen had been falling so badly for a while now? Why? Because Japan was being forced to prop up the dollar as the Cabal is dragging their heels on the inevitable dollar collapse.
And it looks like Japanese are finally saying they are done. Yen has. started shooting up. Whatever is happening now is just the Cabal's retribution. Probably pulling all their money out of Japan's stock market.
Good riddance. They will be all the better for that.
Lets brace for what happens when we finally break free as well!
Wow. I mostly understood that. Thank you.
The best thing that happened to me through this journey was understanding the role of Russia and Japan in fighting the Cabal, leading me to decide to learn Japanese (and next aim is Russian) and start reading a lot of old books and listening to videos of Japanese patriots. Truly started understanding their culture.
We are planning to love in Japan for a bit after all this is done.
There's a story I read a long time ago, it may be lost now, but it had the goddess Amaterasu say that, as much as it pained her to say it, Japan deserved to get nuked, and that her country became so much better once it learned its lesson.
Lest we forget, they were doing some...really, really bad stuff at the time, thanks to warlord generals like Hideki Tojo, and Emperor Hirohito being too hands-off to deal with him.
excellent info, ty.
