What happens when current Korean Prime Minister is replaced at next election? So far they've only proven that everything promised gets scraped each time the top changes. Something to seriously think about.......

Wouldn't doubt it if this was fake news. Anything the Kardashians do seem to rile Hollywood the wrong way. Maybe Hollywood is unhappy that a originally unknown realty star family made huge profit without using HW agents, actors & actresses, sets etc. . . who knows??

If it happens this often, it makes you wonder if they even have the capital reserve to make these transfers in the first place. Wonder if they prioritize business accounts over retail customers? Surprising the Japanese financial authorities even lets this go on for this long.

Interesting how some Chinese reminisce about their history by visiting "Tang" Little Tokyo. Japanese were the enemies during WW2 but can't forget it was the Communists that inflicted the Cultural Revolution.

Sad truth about child stars is that most become incapable of differentiating people that really care and love them from the ones that manipulate and just want their money. Hopefully her father is the former.

Japanese government should mandate software and tech update to banks that hold x amount of public money every so many years; even phones and TVs become obsolete after so many years.

Can't ignore the fact that most governors in red states (e.g. Florida) ignored mask mandates and shunned vaccination. Every choice results in consequences, good and/or bad.

Stop being fixated on what hasn’t or should have been done. Think of ways to give at least one dose to everyone especially those who are vulnerable, medical and Olympic related. Every school or majority should hold mass vaccination on premises for students. Bad decision making or lack of , result in terrible outcomes. Japan needs to wake up and start taking action.

Posted in: Man arrested for robbing convenience store says he did it because he was hungry See in context
This is sad. Must be hard to find work due to age stigma. Why can't Japan put all those abandoned houses to better use? Perhaps government can negotiate with owners to give up these properties in lieu of astronomical inheritance tax or property tax and build more discreet homeless shelters where people like this man can stay until he gets his footing. If he can save up some money on rent, then maybe he can afford to buy more food? Expensive housing is an universal problem.
