A very good guest, who brought up some great points! But why do all these guests frame their life perspective generationally. Boomers, X's and Z's? It's all very tiresome to listen to. How about narrowing your complaints down a little with specific examples? We can read between the lines if you must blame people older than you, for all of your current struggles.
Part of the reason they remain a major industrial/economic power is their shift to robotics, which has made up for the population problems posed by their TFR woes, which is why they have the abandoned homes problem
Home ownership and a healthy middle class have always been a mark of economic prosperity in the US. If our hands weren’t tied behind our backs, America would be making robotics for the world. Globalists starting with the Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden regimes have regulated us so that out of necessity, we became unproductive. Economic policy has added to the crippling of businesses.

All very true. What makes Japan a useful case study is that it has engaged in Friedrich List-style national economic policy more or less from the 1850s, and been very successful as a result. America did too, under the American System and later under McKinley, and was hugely successful as a result. Then we gave all that away from the 1970s on, and the result is that now we’re a wreck
America isn't manufacturing the machines that manufacture goods.

If Japan is such a great economic power, why are there abandoned homes and businesses?
