I'm surprised the city knows the bank account of every household in town.
The clerk who made the 'mistake' should be watched, this could be a team effort.

Korea should look for 'comfort' somewhere else. Japan settled war issues long ago. Recent korean court decisions have unexpected results. Japan has every right to regulate exports. I think this response is brilliant!

'Daylight Savings Time' or 'Summertime' is just mental masturbation. Set schedules one (or two) hours earlier. People are smart enough to follow the sunrise. Farmers have done it for centuries.
