Posted in: Rice price See in context
We are told in three sentences that there is now rice on the shelves and rice costs 30% more than it did last year. How informative! There is no explanation of why there is or was an alleged rice shortage; whether government policies caused or contributed to the shortage; what the rice supply projections are for the coming year; how the JA intends to deal with or prevent more shortages in the future; and no independent investigation of the price people are actually paying for new rice (hint: it's much more than 30% in most places). It's almost as though Japan Today was handed a government press release and published it as though it was really news.

To GBR48
I agree with you 100%. The real question is why they want us eating insects and this kind of artificial garbage they are calling "food". Maybe they think that if they can induce us to eat like animals, we will begin to believe we are animals and allow ourselves to be treated like animals. I'm with you. I am not going along with this.

Posted in: Osaka World Expo organizer to raise construction cost estimate again See in context
Here are a few more things no one is talking about which certainly guarantee that the 2025 Osaka World Exposition is going to be a colossal failure: "climate change" travel restrictions, "new pandemic" travel restrictions, banking collapses and the imposition of central bank digital currencies which restrict our ability to spend our money as we see fit, staggering inflation, food shortages, fuel shortages, possible wars and regional conflicts with belligerent countries.

The problem with articles like this is the underlying assumption that carbon is bad. It isn't bad. It's good. It's natural. It's essential to life on earth. It is the most efficient way of storing energy that we have and it's the most efficient way of transporting and transmitting energy we have (aside from nuclear energy).
People who get their information from today's "education" system and the popular media are woefully ignorant about carbon and its relation to so-called "global warming". Get some real science background and you might learn about the main reason global temperatures fluctuate the way they do: it's the sun, not automobiles.
If you want net 0 carbon emissions, you might as well kill off all animal life forms on the planet because carbon is a waste product of animal respiration. Of course, when you do that, you'll be killing all plant life forms as well, because they ingest carbon in order to excrete oxygen, which is a waste product of plant life.
Politicians who make policy based on junk science do so either because they want to virtue signal or have been bought and paid for by people who stand to benefit politically and financially from these policies. Never mind that these policies will destroy every industrialized country to benefit the globalists who want China to succeed at the expense of the rest of the world because they are heavily invested in China's success.
People like Suga will never experience the consequences of their own decisions because by the time these policies become mandatory they will be long gone.

Posted in: China, Japan to cooperate in reviving virus-hit economies See in context
Japan needs to be very careful about who it gets into bed with. China's money buys a tremendous amount of influence, in politics, business, the media and academia. Influence of that kind always translates into power.

The government hasn't given a time frame for how long the restrictions will last. But officials warn they must stay in place until an effective vaccine is developed.
A vaccine is effective only when it targets a specific virus. If that virus mutates, the vaccine is no longer effective. An effective vaccine, therefore, will never be developed because viruses such as corona viruses, are never stable; they are always mutating. Herd immunity is the only way to end the threat. And that implies that these establishments remain open for business and people stop isolating themselves.
