@carnage4life Can’t imagine an American or European leader doing this: “calls by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for Japanese companies to pay workers more as inflation takes hold in an economy used to years of deflation and stagnant wages, and as Japan prepares for its annual spring round of labour negotiations” https://www.reuters.com/technology/nintendo-trims-annual-profit-outlook-firmer-yen-2023-02-07/?rpc=401
