Short the yen.
200 yen here we come
Here is an idea for Takaichi.
What about breaking the JA monopoly that tripled rice price by hoarding it? It won’t burden Japanese finance, but perhaps won’t buy anymore their votes.
No, instead let’s destroy the yen and make import even pricier. Moving out Ishiba to get Takaichi is sad
What’s happening ?
