Some people think money is power or technology is power.
Power is power. America won WW2, Japan lost. The Snowden leaks showed us that the entire country is being monitored by the US. All of their technological designs, skeletons in the closet, and business deals are known by the US immediately.

Tbh I think Japan has an awkward place in the hierarchy they fit themselves into with the west. They lost to the west, but they colonized Asia. I could be wrong since I’ve never been there, but from a distance it doesn’t seem healthy.

No hate though, I just hope things get better for them. Not really sure how that’s going to happen. They were so close, they were so close. I’m not talking about World War Two, I mean their economy. They were so close.

Fiat currency is backed by nothing except trust so it really doesn’t matter how money is produced, it only matters that people think it’s worth something.

Now the thing is, right, if you think there’s such a thing as a country doing a capitalism "the right way" dig a little bit deeper. It doesn’t matter if it’s a rich country or a poor country, every country has something shady going on.

What’s impressive about the from of shady going on in Ireland is it made the line go up. The shady stuff going on in the Japanese economy with their debt doesn’t make the line go up. That just means the scam is working, and that’s why it’s cool. You have to be smart to make your scam work, anyone can try to scam but not everyone is successful at it.
