Posted in: LDP loses 3 by-elections in blow to Suga See in context

Ever heard of main opposition in the local English press, like

Constitutional Democratic Party, or Democratic Party for the People, or Social Democratic Party?

So is there some fermentation hereabouts away from the concrete iconic one rules all?

And it may even lead away from the one of the lowest minimum wages in the OECD countries.

It smokes all the time and easterly winds bring the ash upon the city, so I wonder if the 600thousand people's garbage or the ash by weight keep the workers more busy?

Why do you need nucs when there is the Pacific fire ring?

Given the international and national pandemic situation very understandable decision.

Moreover he can harden his stand on minimum wages by staying at home, which is opposed by even same party figures. It would make him a progressive among all the old school.

South Korean minimum wages are higher than hereabouts for example.

As is possible with solar how about letting the average citizen own a share of a few months salary in windpower too.

But thats maybe too much European thinking and not so compatible with local politics.

The elderly nowerdays were called babyboomers not so long ago and boom we did, oh boy.

East Asia turned out to be the biggest moneymaker of the 21st, but ours is a too advanced time to think money rules all.

The human currency “money” does not support “idea” , only power. And in such a short time to strip the given natural with tribal thinking..... As a grandfather I have seen the political figures of the surroundings of ours changing over time.

And we know how they grew up.

Given that a lot of US rail was build by EastAsian labour in feudal times, now we are living more advanced everywhere.

As riches have spread to many areas aided by institutions like the UN, and people globally educated and not In gulags in most parts.

is it the time to fall back to tribalism?

Rest assured, JP is not the only power concerned over recent strong tobac in the southern waters.

Declaring borders to ones liking is not doable in the 21st. Already the old powers of Europe consider naval presence globally again.
