@Bovell_GM What timeline are we talking?

[ian @osakaian]

@Bovell_GM I took this trade (a little late), so thank you. Do you think stay in or take profits now?

@Bovell_GM Why currency is best for this? USD?

@clpearce What?!? Oh man! Here was me thinking I had the top secret best cheap Japanese whisky. I’m devastated.

@clpearce Tried Akashi?

@tokyorich Think the nuances involved make this impossible to answer. “Love both mostly with aspects of each I’m less happy about, or maybe hate if I think hard about it, and other things on which I’m largely indifferent, at this point in time but it’s a dynamic situation”

@CacheThatCheque Thanks, is there a particular reason for that weighting?

Even as consumer prices surge across much of the world, and massive rises in import costs, Japan simply WILL NOT countenance any inflation. Outright refusal. No dice. https://t.co/3jx5dAUtT1

@OurWorldInData And needless to say the deaths per capita in Japan have been far, far lower than any other G-7 country - by an order of magnitude compared to the likes of the U.S. or the U.K.

(And once again, there weren't any lockdowns.)

[Gearoid Reidy リーディー・ガロウド @GearoidReidy]

Japan has now fully vaccinated 75.4% of the population.

Going off latest data on @OurWorldInData, that puts them above Canada to become the most fully-vaccinated country in the G7.

78.4% have had at least one shot.

458,231 shots added since the last update.

@RafKadian How do I join this?
