There absolutely will be an election in 2028.

In case you're interested, I've just launched a project with two colleagues in Tokyo to survey, study, and preserve the war-scarred trees throughout the city. It's a truly incredible archive of disaster heritage. Article forthcoming, but here's a recent profile:

This building under construction, at 11 stories, has been built entirely by hand. Meaning no crane at all. Friend said to me “this is slavery”. I don’t know what the workers are paid, but given the national average is $2.00, it is a bit like slavery. They’ll never get to live there either.

I am also writing up a small storm on Substack. Please have a visit and read some fun stuff and see some nice photos, all for free. It's not lunch, but hey, I serve up some good stuff.
