Yup, what is clear is that Japan is stuck in a vicious circle and if this don’t break out of it, nothing’s ever going to change…
The current generation of politicians here have been cultured with the way of thinking of their forefathers, they don’t seem to be able to think outside the box, and just repeat the mistakes of those before them.
