Shocker

The technology is already there it's just too expensive. Japan famously excels at incremental innovation, so whilst I doubt we will see any revolutionary tech come out of Japan, I can certainly imagine Japan making the tech cheaper, and more efficient.

Only one punishment befitting these sickos

only 10 days of prison now

Probably all going to take place in his head. Nutcase

National news

@Monty

I am confused!

I have been since the beginning of the pandemic.

stopped caring since the last cash payout. And wont care again until the next one.

Natural Consolidation. Too few people around to warrant 5-6 in the same km block.

Some people are too crazy to learn anything from life imprisonment. Why risk this freak ever getting out?

Managed to buy himself a girlfriend yet?

Prepare for some outrageous commets.

Male all toilets unisex, and build walls from the floor to the ceiling. Maybe more people would be tempted to wash their hands that way too.

Pretty sure the only way to overcome this new wave is another 10man giveaway. Am I right?

Idiotic

idiotic

Thank god. The pathetic media obsessed drones will be pleased

Empress material right there.

Bookmark this article and show it to the politicians claiming "souteigai" when it actually happens

Automation is advancing at such a rate that driving a car, and even owning a car will become less necessary. Hopefully this will lead to safer roads, lower congestion, lower family expenditure, and lower levels of pollution.

How?

Option 1) Maybe he was stupid enough to leave the coins with an exchange.

Option 2) He left his seed phrase somewhere stupid

Option 3) Tortured

But surely the passenger was wearing a mask, so this shouldnt be an issue.

what is a trillion yen in normal money terms? Is it a lot?

Fewer trains, or more expensive train fares, cant have both

I thought Brexit was done and dusted...

"Good afternoon Mrs Kishida, may I ask you what you think of Mr Kishida's cabinet?"

Over the last twenty years or so Japan has seen an increase in comodity prices and a decrease in average salaries. 

Is it time to introduce a universal basic income? As automation takes over, it isn't like there are going to be more jobs emerging.

I've noticed a 15-20% rise in prices at our local "commercial supermarket" over the last year. Also check the weight of stuff in your 100 yen shop. Definitely less for your 100 yen. So we do have hidden inflation.

Shrinkflation is real. At least here they arent increasing the prices AND decreasing the amount of product you get.

Its so funny that Nations actually persue inflation. Even after 30 years of trying Japan are still aiming for that mythical 2% annual increase. Maybe, just maybe, its time to try something else. Maybe let a few of those dinosaur companies die off to make room for more productive and efficient technology companies. Maybe Japan could be the first nation to embrace a technology-supported, shrinking economy. It makes perfect sense with the declining population.

Having skimmed through the Japanese news, it is clear that this woman is a Japanese national. This should be made more clear. This article is misleading.

The wording of this article.

Im assuming that this person is not American, becasue they weren't forced to quarantine, but "traveller from America", would suggest they want you to think otherwise.
