Thank you. I live in Japan and it is incredibly frustrating to hear people here talk about the exchange rate as if it is some temporary but unfortunate weather condition, rather than the downstream effect of a generation of terrible policy decisions that it actually is

Probably more accurate to say the bubble period was the weather condition and the current rate is more of an equilibrium.
