The Chairman of CCDH's Board is Simon Clark, straight from the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Lab. The Atlantic Council has 7 former CIA directors on its board
Interesting. That explains how this got a very lengthy AP "report"...
It may just be my computer illiteracy - but AI certainly doesn't generate an image of a deceased baby for me. Perhaps they're just more savvy with keywords in Gaza...

90%+ of these jobs require no more Japanese than "Ohayo gozaimasu" and "kyukei" as they communicate with a culture that only wants to isolate, extort, then send them home once they've used them up.

RIP to these guys and my heart goes out to their families. I often take a moment to appreciate the safety and quality of life men like them bring to me every day.

There are construction accidents in all countries and Japan isn't any worse than any other.
I've worked in construction both here in JP and and the western country I was raised in. It's fair to say that conditions and expectations (and salaries!) here in JP are ABYSMAL in comparison. Just a fact.

Before asking corporations and small businesses for pay hikes, the government should give the economy a kickstart by pumping money into it.

Anyone found violating the church's policies would be "strictly punished", he added.
Scary when a church thinks they have the god-given right to "punish" anyone without seeking legal intervention. Even more scary when authorities are aware of it and sit back to allow them to be a self-managing entity. Some child abuse that was not investigated comes to mind...

Posted in: Long COVID keeping 31,000 Australians away from work every day See in context
Without evidence to prove this is in any way significative for the amount of people that is taking leave this is just a baseless supposition. Hardly any value as an argument.
Evidence? You've never known someone to take paid sick days when they could have worked? Do you need a study to know when your being mugged? The evidence is all around if you care to see...
One aspect that is glaringly lacking in ALL of your very many painful posts, Virusrex, are the many complex psychological repercussions to the world we now live in thanks to the exaggeration of COVID-19.
Before you stuff words into my mouth, I'm not denying that there is a virus and that it makes people sick. I'm not denying "long covid" either. I've had "long influenza" after all and it was difficult work for a while. I am pointing out that these things can, and certainly have (!), been blown out of proportion by the many institutions that stand to gain from it.
How many mal-adjusted kids have been put on unnecessary drugs in recent decades we will never know. But once you tell that child they have "ABC" syndrome, they certainly believe that they do and play the role accordingly. Some kids certainly do need medical intervention, some just need better guidance and less cause of anxiety in their lives...
The mind is a powerful thing. Look to the Stanford Prison Experiment if you need a study for that...
