Former PM Abe Shinzo dies after being shot
The first thing that pops into my mind is "Abenomics":<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abenomics" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abenomics</a><p>> IMF affirmed that Japan's nominal GDP contracted by $1.8 trillion during 2012–2015 while real GDP contracted at an annual rate of 6.8 percent[58] in the second quarter of 2014, after the Consumption Tax hike came into effect in April. This fall is the worst since the devastating earthquake and tsunami disaster[59][60] hit Japan in the first quarter of 2011 when the GDP shrank by an annualised 6.9 percent.<p>So, his economic policy might have been as bad as an earthquake + tsunami.<p>That said, he was not the only one supporting this policy, and nobody deserves to die for a mistake.
