So USDJPY is crashing again and Takaichi has called for an election.

Japan has a massive debt problem. China’s is bigger (300%+) but they hide it in the localities. China doesn’t let their currency float, while Japan does until they don’t.

It’s all a game, and the game is how to foster one’s own self interest in the most efficient way possible.

Japan has no resources, but high quality goods and services. China has few resources but a vast surplus of mediocre production capacity.

Europe is in general a basket case because they cut off their own dicks with retarded energy policies and now look to become the Soviet Union of the West.

Maybe someday you’ll be able to buy silver again in decent amounts on a regular basis, but that may not be any time soon.

Good luck
