I guess we'll have to wait until next year to see any yen strength.
The yen is about where it is supposed to be. While the world in general is working much smarter,
the Japanese mindset is still in the 80s thinking the harder you work the better your life will be.

Mental illness and lax gun control laws don't mix,
Maybe he wasn’t mental, just a very jealous
anxious man that lost his family.
The gun was purchased illegally, his firearm was not allowed or legal in the state of California. He could have gotten it anywhere.

What is going on in Japan? I left one month ago for the USA and life is pretty much back to normal here. Very few people wear masks or even talk about the pandemic. Seems Japan loves continuing the propaganda to keep the people in order. What else could it be?

To all the low income people receiving this, you don't need to thank me personally for two decades of hard work, dedication to bettering myself, never taking holidays, being sensible with money and investing wisely. Slowly working my way up the ladder to reach a position where me and my family are stable and secure. Just take my hard earned tax money and enjoy it.
Seems like you were the one duped.
