How does this happen? I thought the japs were smart as fuck
don't they have like a billion chinks? who cares if 1000 business owners commit seppuku for the big saar aka daimyo
Reminder that whatever happens to Japan is sure to come to your neighborhood in a couple of months
>>540647708their situation is the natural consequence of their postwar position in the global economy. they've done quite well to make it last as long as they have. but it's basically impossible to continue when American's own financial position has gone full retard
>>540647554What hormussy doed to a mf
>>540647708Shit economy worldwide, increased competition, inflation and weak yen, mostly due to the fact that Japan is a dumping ground for the USD.Most companies can deal with one of these but not all at the same time.
>>540647554>>540647708They got into the same kind of stuff everyone else was doing. Now they are going to collapse the US economy and Europe like dominoes so it isn't all bad.
The term 'zombie firm' originated in Japan
>>540647708>lose war>jews take over your country and write your constitution>jews get the funny idea of negative interest rates>carry trade is born>money is printed in japan and set to the jew's pockets where they use it to invest or lend to other people>no inflation in japan because all the printed yen flies to America>jews decide to sell their yen back to japan>yen enters japanese markets in record numbers, increasing the money supply within japan>it starts devaluing>other jews decide they dont want to hold increasingly worthless yen debt>sell their yen back to japan>japan brought to her knees, about to sell US bonds to save their economy>american government intervenes, propping up japan who props up the jews with american tax dollarsFunny isn't it?
honestly fuck the japanese. ever since the twitter translate thing its open that they are such a passive aggressive faggot cuck race its disgusting (girls are still cutoooo)constantly bitching and moaning about the stupidest little thing while they are importing brown hordes and their shrines are being burned down
Japan is a third world country that somehow managed to brute force their way to prosperity by working longer hours.
Thank you Sanae!
>>540647708Because of you
The Japanese economy is currently booming.Labor shortages are severe, and unprofitable companies are being weeded out.

>>540649708>StocksIt's all fucking bullshit, unless you believe in trickle-down economics, in which case, you shouldnt be taken seriously.
Why is this sad news?
>>540647554Rather than saying the Japanese economy is deteriorating, it is more accurate to view this as a situation where the factors that had been preventing bankruptcies during the COVID-19 pandemic have worn off, coinciding with rising costs, labor shortages, and higher interest rates.During the pandemic, the government provided loans to support businesses, so what we are seeing now is simply a backlash: companies that would normally have struggled to survive are now going bankrupt.
It's unironically over btw. Insurers are making losses on bonds they're holding.
Yes, this is the reality of Japan.They haven't even properly raised interest rates yet, and smaller businesses are already getting crushed by skyrocketing import costs and labor shortages.If the BOJ actually hikes rates to 2 percent to save the Yen, half of these zombie companies will be wiped out overnight. They're literally trapped between mass corporate destruction and a worthless currency.
