@sun trump 2 was profoundly bad for the japanese economy, partly due to the government being completely unable to negotiate favorable terms for anything. there was a point in 2025 where JP paid more tariffs than CN

@mono how come raw eggs are safe in japan but not america
@sun because of a very bad and evil thing called "barriers to trade" (safety standards, strategic food security) that must be abolished immediately
@mono incidentally Japanese comments on American politics seem far far better than American/Euro comments on American politics, 9 out of 10 times they correctly identified the real causes of things without the video explaining it.
@matrix @mono one time I saw ntt put mencius moldbug on a graph about the trump administration connected to jd vance but that report was basically cribbed from a shitlob source
