justasking comments

brings with it the risk of deceptive, dangerous and dubious digital content.

And Apple gods are the best people to moderate morality.

Yikes. I bet Nissan is wishing Ghosn back.

The Ghosn debacle has long been seen in Japan as a reflection of the difficulties in forging international business alliances.

No. It's about Japanese injustice system and how corporations weaponize it.

Prostitution is rare on the streets of Japan.

100% agree

So we're just going to treat the old guy as some statistics? No compassion or empathy?

it's uncommon to hear you die of flu..

On the contrary, it's so common it's now worth talking about.

This means AI money will be gone soon. Time to find a new job.

I still don't understand how they still can't rescue him.

There's no reading between the lines. The embassy is just merely swamped with the number of applications.

I kinda want to know why they still can't get him out. From the looks of it, a simple construction crane can pull the truck out.

but none of them say arrested, indicted, jail or prison…..

Because it's settled. Out-of-court settlement contracts are legally binding, unless the other party wants to return the money, with interest of course.

Add in costs like "Body Corporate fees " to get a realistic idea of real pricing.

Exactly. You bought the house and somehow it feels like you're still paying rent. Somehow, these corporations manage to justify a JPY150,000 management fee for a fully paid apartment. Ridiculous.

It's settled. A settlement is binding and can't be terminated. Nothing will come out of it except media fodder. Milk the controversy for all the money and attention it can get the newspapers and "news".

a 90 million yen out-of-court settlement

So it was settled. Why is there talk?

All thanks to Trump.

And because Biden signed it, naturally Trump will be against it.

This would be ridiculous if there's not unpaid overtime "work", called "company service" that is expected of every employee.

Ghosn jumped bail and forfeited his chance to plead and prove his innocence.

You just made his point. In Japan, just like what the former Minister of Justice said, you have to prove your innocence. Not the other way around.

Here, you are guilty until proven innocen. Everybody knows that. Everybody.

As long as they don't sing in a chorus with harmonization and acting like the female group AKB48.

Will they be charging the corpse for injury like they did that girl a while ago?

It's even more ridiculous because this is true.

Violence is never the answer, but I can imagine how life changing this will be for the bullies.

Moreover, bullying in college? Did they not grow up?

Graffiti "artists" are the lowliest of criminals. Japan should spend all of its resources to catch them and jail them all.

Tokyo accuses Watson of injuring a Japanese crew member with a stink bomb intended to disrupt the whalers' activities

Too bad only Japan police have the lazy, overused and abused law called "disruption of business" to arrest virtually anyone.

However, the police included an opinion recommending against indictment, citing insufficient evidence.

As expected of Japanese police.

24-year authoritarian rule

Some kings lasted less.

I’ve been to China many times. You’re not missing out on anything.

It’s not the slush fund scandal that brought down the LDP. It’s the disconnect of these Oyaji’s to the reality of Japanese people.

Make the grapes affordable. I’ll buy them everyday.

as voters punished the incumbents over a funding scandal and a cost-of-living crunch

Only 10 lost their seat due to this. What about the other 54?

The picture says it all..

Patriarchal gerontocracy. It makes me wanna puke.
