Unbelievable, as much money we pay in taxes to this gov. They are so incompetent on so many levels.

"Lax safeguards?", those turkeys did not learn anything from what happen 10 years ago. That is scary.

I wonder why does it matter whether or not it was premeditated? He permanently stole somebody's life that can never be returned. Each and everyone of us have to reap the consequences of our actions.

Efforts should also be made to improve the toxic work environment here in Japan. It is difficult to start a family having to work a lot of unpaid overtime.

We went to a drug store this evening and saw them selling a box of 50 mask for 3200 Yen. A back before the pandemic those same boxes were selling for 500 Yen. How is that not price gouging?

And they wonder why they can't get enough employees to work for them?

Why is this not in the crime section? The man was assaulted.

Seems like expanding mental health care to make it easier to get would be more effective.

What does she think she is, a cat?

"The nationwide sales tax has risen 10% from 8%, which Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hopes will support the fast-aging population"

"Hopes"?! This guy really does not know what is is doing does he.

And they are still going to raise the taxes to 10% next month?

They should have done that before bidding to have the Olympics in Tokyo.

He admitted that the bus caused the accident? Usually its an inattentive driver that causes an accident. Some people really cant take responsibility for their mistakes.

The 5-year-old seems to be more responsible than his parents.

He should enlist the services of the new Ministry of Justice's human rights bureau. That would a good way to test out this new service.

Maybe, but you need to get rid of all the old dinosaurs that are running the place first.

I wish I can get paid for that extended holiday. This is just going to hurt me and my family financially. The laws are pointless if it does make the black companies pay the employees for this forced time off.

Spyware 2.0

Even if they are guilty, I don't understand why they are coming down on them so hard. Don't Japanese exec cheat on there taxes all the time here? It does not seem like it would be as big of a deal if the CEO and exec were Japanese. Remember the TEPCO scandal and the shady goverment land sell? Don't hear about that anymore.

I wonder how many private companies will pay their employees for this extra time off? I know my company won't.

Bosses be like, "you still coming to work, right?".

Printing money with no value, isn't that what the government does?

The Japanese food companies seem to over-wrap everything. I need to open three layers of plastic just to get to my one little cookie. They should start with not over-wrapping everything.

I hope the agreement works out. I am tired of eating the same thing for breakfast everyday. It would be nice to have more variety of food items from home!

All the Japanese government do is "urge". That's the problem.

How about the government enforcing the labor law and crack down on these "black companies". So many companies are forcing their employees to work service over-time. People cant spend if they do have money.

Sounds like another episode on Doctor X.

Perhaps they are running out of Japanese people to exploit for low paying labor?

If that was a US military aircraft I think a lot of people would be freaking out and demanding their withdraw from Japan. However since it is a Japanese aircraft maybe those same people are just saying how sad and shoganai.

I like to see the Government actually do what they talk about. They seem so out of touch with reality.
