   Jun 22, 2022 Looking at Japan from the outside, in many ways it looks like a model country – the 3rd biggest economy in the world with world-famous companies, extremely safe cities, a healthy population, and advanced technology and automation everywhere.

   But underneath the surface, Japan is struggling.

   “We’re in an airplane, we’ve got four engines and three of them are off. And the Fed is saying the one remaining engine—personal consumption—is doing too much,” he said. “It’s like, okay, but it’s the only engine. And if I’m in the airplane, and you tell me we’re down to one engine, and then you tell me we are going to turn it off. It’s like, ‘Wait, no.’”
