Joe Blow comments

People are so self-important these days that they feel they need to "weigh in" on every major current event, as if the world is waiting with bated breath for Joe Shmo from Tuskaloose to let us know his thoughts on the war. News flash: Nobody cares.

Also, I don't care what a company's politics are, just sell me the product I'm giving you money for.

Never would have happened under Trump but at least the adults are in charge now, right? LOL

Why doesn't he seek billions of dollars for poverty-stricken Americans at home who don't know where their next meal is coming from?

Why do foreign wars take precedence over Americans at home?

Poor Americans don't shop at Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. Well, Lockheed does have streetwear now though, lol

The US needs to counteract China and Russia on the world stage. This is part of that.

Detox yourself from TikTok.

"People who live on that beach, bring their children there, never had a bunch of sharks swimming 20 feet away, and now it's a regular sight.

That sounds real safe, Mr. Science.

Gaetz did this to get back at McCarthy for not stopping the investigation into his possible sexual and drug violations.

Now that he's broken his toys in his temper tantrum ("Can't trust the guy" lol, can anyone trust Gaetz?) he and everyone else actually has to deal with finding a new Speaker and surprise, surprise, nobody else wants to do it after they saw what happened to McCarthy. Not even Kevin or Gaetz want to do it.

I've seen the "free gift" scam for at least 15 years now, first from a Hari Krishna in the US offering a "free book" that he then wanted me to pay for, again from a very fake-looking monk in Kuala Lumpur with some little amulet.

Punishment should match the crime.

I'm getting too old for a 3-hr movie in the theater; I'd have to go water the flowers at least once, and I don't sit down that long anymore either.

More "anti-racist" brainwashing.

This happens when people are overworked.

Or self-centered.

No thanks.

Did you even read the article lol

Why once beloved?

There's more to this story than what's in the article.

First, Ai was living in Taiwan with her family when she went back to Japan and started having an affair with a guy in Tokyo while pretending to work.

She went back to Taiwan with her mom and then ditched her mom there at her husband's house to run off with this guy.

Then she agreed to come back and visit. She set up a meeting at the airport with her and Chiang's son and said she wanted to be alone with the kid. He naively believed this and she promptly boarded a flight to Japan and disappeared.

This month she lost custody of her son but has refused to give him back.

She's out of control.

I'm guessing these will only really be a B2B product for use in companies, education, not for consumers.

I like the creative and originality of this idea. Something needs to be done with empty homes and falling birthrate with more and more land being wasted and people being crammed in smaller areas. Giving them away for free is a bit of a concern though as I can see something like this being abused by many. Perhaps a super low rental fee for X amount of years and the house is yours might suffice? This way you can take back some of the municipal tax fees that went towards renovation costs. Also, there should be some guidelines on who can apply.

This is awesome, more rent-to-own plans like this please!

He's going to personally raise that birth rate, isn't he?

Ladies, get in line!

Why do Japanese build cars in scab state,where their are not union,union workers usually are more productive, knowing they have contract

You just answered your own questions.

Does Japan even have unions?

Forget the planes, Chinese pilots and airlines are terrible compared to even Taiwanese ones. The one time I flew China Southern was an absolute disaster.

RIP poor baby.

The same fate awaits the person who did this in Hell.

Ron-Ron vs. the sex offender: it’s like the philosophical question “If you are standing neck-deep in pig feces, and someone throws a bucket of vomit at your head, do you duck?”

Or you could bury your face in the muck and suck it in by voting Dem.

This the one that changed one of the characters from Taiwanese to Chinese? lol

I've always wondered what G7, G20, etc. protestors hope to accomplish.

Then China should let Taiwan compete as Taiwan and not "Chinese Taipei"!

An important detail missed out of this article is that the population fall is NOT going to be equal across the country. Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Nagoya and a couple of other major cities are going to only decrease a little or in Tokyo's case increase slightly. Tohoku is going to be a wasteland with a space population of geriatrics.

Sendai will be the hub, not sure if Morioka, Yamagata City, etc. will hold up.

Also, how declasse will this store be with the hordes of Chinese tourists elbowing everyone in there lol

Working PT, possibly contract-based, is he a civil servant? If not, is there a law prohibiting this?

These types of stories should be categorized under the heading of ; Tales of Japanese Late Stage Capitalism.

Lol at trying to blame this on muh capitalism.

And the last Japanese will switch the light off over these islands in around 2500, assuming any power remaining.

Movie idea: Last Japanese on Earth.

They care about saving fetuses. They don't give a crap about actual babies.

Yes, unborn children who haven't been given a chance at life yet.
