“Most worrying for America and the world is how fast the businessman in the Oval Office is proving unfit for the job.” It is a relief “that the main victim” of President Trump’s “slurs has so far been the tweeter-in-chief himself.” And this is also “testament to the strength of American democracy. But institutions can erode, and the country is wretchedly divided…. Unless Mr Trump changes course, the harm risks spreading.”

“On one hand, Premium Friday is a gimmicky, well-intended campaign to offset Japan’s overwork culture.” Even though less than 4% of Tokyo’s workers actually clocked out early on the inaugural Premium Friday, the campaign does represent “something fundamentally important to the next few years of Japanese investment: a defining theme of ‘working practice reform’ that will (for better or worse) penetrate all sectors of the economy.”
