Diet to convene extraordinary session on Oct 20

New TAX increase await.

I am not thinking about anything other than the economic measures and responses to other challenges, which cannot be put off."

Yeah like fending off challenges to your administration regarding your corrupt campaign management!

The same old Mery Go Around and it will never change until the old men and their family members are removed from office. Nepotism is alive and well in this country, and especially in the Japanese government and the people here just say "shoganai" meaning "it cannot be helped.

I never see this changing in my lifetime and maybe not even in a hundred years from now and so I guess I am in the club of "shoganis."

But, it can be helped. For too many things, "shoganai" is code for "I can't be bothered."

It seems that voters here either value consistency over progress, or feel that politics are none of their business. For a "modern democracy", the Japanese deference to power is rivaled only by that of the English.

Extraordinary session to end up entirely ordinarily, the same people, from the same groups, defending the same interests with the same decisions.

King Minus, I have lived here for many, many years and I had the same thought process as you when I first got here and superficially life has changed here, however, deep rooted customs and ideals have not and since I am not a Japanese individual it is not for me to judge unless I choose to change my nationality and I do not.

"Extraordinary session" in Japan?

I doubt it.

I bet it will be the same as before.

Same family members, same education, same entitlement,same way of thinking, same inert populace, same people voting for them.

Japan is worse than doomed
