I thought we're all for "women empowerment". If women can no longer sell sex, they can focus on whatever else to achieve their dreams! Best part is, as society we no longer need to "police" it.

AI will finally free women!

Record high corpo's profit, record high tax collection, it's a great economy if you're part of the 1%

I can't tell you what they can do without knowing which ones of these are grouped into the "some" prefectures category.

Build a tiny home, double layer window facing an open-field to the south, AC on 18, with floor heating heated from local electricity generation. My electricity bills around 8000yen at worst.

House is warm all winter, and cool all summer.

It's possible if you don't bring your "North American" mentality to Japan.

Funny how Taiwan soldiers were the ones dying defending China against Imperial Japan, while CCP goons were hiding the mountains.

Now, Japanese people and Taiwan are best friends against thugs that only know how to steal tech and people's hard work.

Too bad, Japanese politicians love CCP more than their country.

The people of this country is destroying itself, could not care anymore less, I'm just in it for the money now.

Another proof we're 51st state of the US.

"defense" = cheap workers

Funny how a country of 1 billion people, all they're good at is innovation of stealing & scamming.

Red or Blue, it's the same.

Trump enacted tariff for China in his 2016 term, which Biden happily continued. Trump cancelled TPP, which Biden happily continued. Then Biden blocked US Steel deal (a.k.a. Trump's "America first").

We are US most loyal ally in the pacific, for 80 years, and how does the US think about us ? a "security risk", a potential "enemy", "Imperial Japan version 2.0". What a joke, loyalty has no value for US, just like how their corporations treat their workers.

Red or Blue, US policy seems clear, allies are only allies as long as they benefit only the US.

My manager is on a 12 months male-parental leave. A few non-managers are on 3 to 6-months male-parental leave. This is only possible because we're a giant company in Japan, there are people who can cover.

We are an exception.

Most companies are mid to small, impossible to take 12 months leave, leaving others and especially the clients without support.

This is how US treat the most loyal and vital ally in the pacific for 80 years ? a "security risk" ?

I don't like the CCP, but US's politics lately seems to be about pushing people away. This is one reason why China and Russia have been embolden lately.

It's time for Japan to rethink who their real ally is, definitely doubts are growing about the US, especially when their politicians who hasn't updated their world view for 80 years keep saying things like "what if WW2 Imperial Japan happens again ?".

The lid on the cups are still plastics, too bad it doesn't have video of hurt by it.

Early 2024 switch, less costco, more farmer's market, helped save for this year's 2.4 million yen NISA lump sum purchase.

The most intolerance among us, demand the most tolerance.

Is this article written by a naive 15 year-old ?

In the real world, "policy" is for "show". So it can always say "we have strict policies on x, and we're always trying to improve it", and get away when it violate it's own "policy".

Take for example Amazon, "we value our workers, and we're always trying to improve their quality of life", while working them to death.

Policy, like politicians, to look good like being rotten inside.

Shogun is an outlier, the majority of Japanese "content" other than manga and anime made in Japan are B movie quality at best. Too much lazy cheap copy-cat high-school love story. South Korean's content took over Japan two decades ago.

Guess why Shogun is an outlier ? It's not funded by Japanese media conglomerate, the likes of Johnny or smile up or whatever.

"LDP ready to bootlick China, such juicy market" - fix that for you.

Will you also condemn Faroe Islands whale killing "tradition", or is it only "tradition" when western countries do it ?

The Justice system doesn't work. Now this bottom scum gets protection, will live in air conditioned room and eat meals on tax-payers' money, while the girl who has been preparing for tests and looking forward for high-life school gets mercilessly robbed of her future.

BOJ keeping Japanese workers poor so they keep slaving themselves.

Some people bring kids into the world thinking "this is my second chance to redeem my failures, and also my old age insurance policy".

They don't deserve kids.

I always advice people who listen the same thing.

If you work in tourism, remember, this won't last either. At most I give it another 3 years after Banpaku, before people get tired of "cool Japan". Boom time is the perfect time to save majority of your earnings, so when hard time comes for your industry, you have money to invest and don't stress out on your finance.

Save at boom, invest at doom.

Time to restart the Meiji Revolution, return power to the Emperor. They obviously care more about the people than the government.

Big insurance scares you to take your money when you're healthy.

Big junk foods make sure you get sick while taking your money.

Big pharma's turn to take your money comes when you're sick.

Repeat the cycle.

America is such a lovely place to live.

Funny how activists never complain about Norway's Faroe Island whale killing "tradition". When non-western countries do it, then it's "inhumane".

"We need to suppress wages so I get to take credits and paid billions for my "amazing intelligence" of bringing in profit"

There, no need to sugar coat it with "liberal" ideas and paint those that disagree as "bigoted racists".

Good 'ol Standard American Diet, shorten as SAD

This is one of the reasons why I believe the government's propaganda for "we all live to be 100, so let's push nenkin payment to 80!!" is a BIG FAT lie.

The people living to 100 today were drinking miso, eating fermented foods and fish. Today's youngsters eat white processed bread for breakfast, karaage for lunch, gyudon for dinner. They're not gonna live to 100.

Lining up because the food tastes great, ok.

Lining up to save money, now do the calculations (income per hour - amount saved per hour), profit or loss ?
