APRECIATE the great business you have done with USA that gave Chine economic miracle

RECIPROCATE trade and allow some USA product in that many Chinese want without the high taxes.

Starbucks has gone to become factory food and drink style and quality. Coffee and step above 7/11 but nor worth the price. IMHO a French press or glass vacuum type brewer at home is cheapest and best flavor. On the street select best social and freshest pastries.

An economically stressed country does not need consumption taxes. An ageing population and growing automation in workplace needs clear vision on future and markets. more affordable families life and higher paying jobs.

Is it true that many in the west would consider these military leaders terrorists and mass murders?

Many in China, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Burma Korea and USA not brutal murdering of civilians and raping of women under their wartime powers

In slowing economies higher taxes are not needed and will further slow economies even more.

always wanted to visit Toyama so more reason to see that area

Most in USA now seek a $15. hour (1628 Yen) wage minimum . Cost of living in Japan about what it costs in USA

They always push social agendas with distorted studies so folks don't object to changes they really know don't work

Interesting to see Male vs Female favorites

The cleanest and cheapest electricity is HYDROELECTRIC . Nicolai Tesla and Westinghouse Co, built the first hydroelectric plant over 100 years ago at Niagara Falls on the Canada USA border by Buffalo NY. These plants are still there making cleanest cheapest power today. USA pays an average of .12 KWhr and Sweden also did the smart move using Hydroelectric https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/electricity-rates-around-the-world.html

All emigrants are welcome in USA as so many come in every year, But you have to come in legally as my wife did and it takes 6mo to a year. It's ez and you can do it yourself online. Anyone can come in a educational visa or tourist visa also. Many stay and lead productive lives and none are looking for these people starting Sunday. They are actively seeking criminal elements and those who are danger to society or illegally collecting govt programs.

Until the Hydrogen economy blooms the best cleanest you can use is Natural gas. It burns in the same plants you burn coal in and USA has plenty to sell :) I'm sure Trump will get Japan a special deal and low price. USA lowered CO2 by 1/3 switching.

the Heanous part of coal is the fly ash that contains mercury that lands in the sea and eaten by microorganisms...that get eaten by small fishes ...that get eaten by larger fish and concentrated in that fish....that gets eaten by Tuna and Albacore that gets big dose of Mercury and why your fish full of large amounts of Mercury . BTW radioactive isotopes can also concentrate this way in biological paths

OH they stack so nicely :) :)

I hope many hospitals adopt this test. Sepsis spread in hospitals kills many

I travel many Asian counties every year past 25 years . I have noticed weight gains going on more and more every year. Many look like Americans or Europeans now :)

America soes not use rare earth metals much. But they are used to manufacture products in China sent to USA. There are productive mines for Rare Earth metals in USA but were closed due to environmental concerns.

Historically when America cannot find a reserve needed the ingenious engineers find a better and cheaper replacement . Necessity is the mother of invention.

Brian Wilson been fighting anxiety demon most his life. An interesting story so look it up. He was a shut in for many years and an unethical doctor pushed constant drugs on him. Along with great crative talent comes the ability to creat your own fears. Get well and follow your passions as hopefully you don't need the touring money by now.

No law about driving mini cars or carts in Tokyo so who is to say what people should dress like be illegal or trade infringement ? If the costumes are properly licensed then what is the law suit about ?

Ever what sort of special stem cell or other treatments those in high power get ?

Trump got quite a welcome and 0bama watching in envy even though he bowed to her :)

Hypochondriacs have it EZ today :) My dad was what I jokingly called the healthiest hypochondriac in the world. Everytime he had symptoms he would read medical books and what he might have. Many times he went to doctors. Luckily he went to top docs cause many would recomend uneeded treatments and surgery that just might hurt him more than help.

Sad

But many elders live depressed and in poor health. I think many more look to leave this earth on own will but few will talk about this.

Trump wants long overdue equal access to all markets . Ceremony and ego pumping will not matter. The grand 1 way trade days are over. Pendulum swings to new world competition instead of global parasitism .

Japan has always been enamored of Robots . Perhaps they will be makers of best robots in world soon. Personally I think world needs to hold off on the automation of labor till world catches up. people need a function to live.

Perhaps it's time to shift production to smaller countries to get chance to grow like China. Anything China makes could also be made in cheaper cost countries like Philippines , Vietnam , Cambodia , Taiwan , Korea , and even Japan. lets give others a chance at rapid growth and bring some back to USA also.

Japan should follow own customs and ignore that Libacrite who is running NYC to new lows. Cultural tolerance should be taught to those nit pickers.

Must be all that Mountain Dew soda pop and energy drinks these youngsters drinking

Drones are pretty easy to disrupt control radio signal with cheap directional jamming radio device

But what of today's workers with automated intelligence and robots ?

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Much of world now aging populations. Migration to cities and career changes . China will have big problem caused by 1 child and that being male child most often. Females empowered while many males never will marry unless they have success enough to venture outside China to find bride. This is world of Demographics and new economy. Look up "Harry Dent Economy" he addresses much on economic changes but not on social changes you will see in next 10 years
