Evidence Quote

the super positive aspect of it is similar to what transpired for Japan in the late 1980s early 1990s in which the Japanese acknowledge okay we have to actually consume more we can't continue to run these these trade surpluses in this manner we're going to have to invest in Tennessee we're going to have to invest in South Carolina and Georgia
