How do you think you would fare in life if you suddenly lost permanently 40 percent of your income?

How do you think a store would fare if it lost 40 percent of its customers?

And how well do you think an economy would perform if it lost over 6 trillion dollars a year, year after year?

Would war or conflicts make up the difference or significantly widen the gap?

When a plane is in an unrecoverable tailspin, would it help to hurl baggage at people on the ground or shoot the messenger?

Why would anyone want to live in infamy, hated by future generations for the harm and atrocities committed during conflicts and war?

And why would being like the Imperial Japanese or Nazis, on the losing side of history, ever make your ancestors, grandchildren, or future generations proud?
