So, how is the Japanese economy these days?
Japan economy is stagnate because their gov wanted to prevent deflation after their banks badly invested their surpluses into real estate that was a bubble. Similar mistake we are repeating with QE. But the attitude of the corporate leaders towards their workers is much better then our corporate leaders. The gap between CEO pay to worker pay is much lesser then US ones. Japanese CEO are paid much less then US CEO but notice how it is funny that US corporations will replace higher paid US workers with overseas ones instantly, buy the lowest cost materials possible, but such opportunities are denied to US workers. I cannot buy in bulk good lower priced pharmaceutics from overseas, and US corporate boards never try to reduce costs of management by hiring these lower salaried Japanese CEO’s or CEO’s from other emerging nations who are capable and willing to work for less. So how are CEO attitude different from liberal Dem elites - do what we want, but ignore how we behave??? This is the oldest story since time, you work hard and make the bread, but I will be the one who will eat it.
