when people talk about Japan their entire demeanor changes when they talk about it. Have you noticed that?

If you talk about another country that people like, hey have you been to Great Britain? Oh yeah it was a good trip I loved it. Have you been to Dubai? Yeah Dubai is amazing you know very modern great place. Have you been to Paris? Yeah it's too many cigarettes but you know great place classic everybody should go there. Then you say how about Japan and watch the demeanor change. If they've been there, oh my God Japan is like you can't even believe it. I almost can't describe it. It's like living in the future. There's no crime no trash. There's no screaming people. Everything's efficient. Everybody's nice. Everything works. Transportation is easy. It's exciting that it's visually spectacular. The country works.

Now we hear that Japan just restarted their Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, one of the world's largest nuclear power plants. Has seven reactors on site. It had been offline ever since the Fukushima problem but they're putting it back up online. So Japan is an interesting place. You know when I was young we were all worried in America. We were worried that Japan would eat our lunch. We used to say yeah they're going to take all our manufacturing. And then of course China took their manufacturing and China and Japan went into sort of a long doldrums. But that long doldrum apparently they re-grafted their situation and they're killing it.

So Japan really looks like, just a shout out to Japan. Good job. Good job Japan. Whatever you're doing is right. Now I did say at one point incorrectly that Japan didn't have much immigration but apparently they do have a workforce need, laborers. So they do have a pretty robust immigration but something tells me they don't get to stay there and live there. I don't know. I got a feeling that they let them come in to work but I don't know how easy it is to become a citizen. Yeah well that's an open question.

Vivek Ramaswamy keeps talking about the system and I'll read his exact words. If you really think the system is going to let either Trump or Biden get anywhere near the finish line open your eyes folks. They're selling us the rope today that they'll use to hang us tomorrow. Don't fall for the trick.

Now apparently the subtext of this is that Nikki Haley is being pushed by the Republicans but maybe the Democrats who like their military spending don't hate her. So there's the system. I think the system in this context is the permanent power people in Washington who are slightly different than the parties. So I love this fact that he says it directly and unapologetically. There's a little hyperbole built into it but I like that he's putting that out there as you know you just open your eyes. In the real world neither of them are going to serve the military-industrial complex as much as it needs to be served and therefore the system is going to try to take them both out. That doesn't mean the system will succeed but as Vivek says they will try anything.

Now have we seen enough evidence that the Democrats will try anything? I think we have. Yeah. If you told me that assassination was off the table because it's so far out of anything we've observed as the behavior of the Democrats I would say I don't see that at all. I see the Democrats putting innocent people in jail where they are killed, starved or committed suicide. I see the Democrats already murdering people and knowing they're doing it. You know they're doing it the indirect way through the leg
