Current Events: Why Does Tokyo Have Zero Homeless People While Iran Wages $100 Oil Economic War?

Japan shows a different standard. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley discuss his trip to Tokyo where he saw zero homeless people, fewer than five overweight individuals, spotless streets, and cheap food. They link it to cultural pride – Japanese people are “too proud to be homeless” – and contrast with Las Vegas. Then they turn to Iran: the U.S. and Israel aren't controlling escalation as Iran runs an economic war markets may be underpricing. With oil near $100 feeding inflation via gas and diesel, they review the S&P 500 peak at 7002 and 7% drop, Dave's call for more downside then a bottom, and a best-case peace scenario sparking asset-bubble growth.
