What happens to patients which receive basic care and are able to be discharged?

Their families are reluctant to accept them back home and care homes are full to the rafters.

There should be help for family members taking on the financial burden of caring for the elderly.

This is the reason why the Japanese social structure and society as a whole is failing because of this mindset of creating excuses related to money. If a working class person would consider his/her parents who raised them to be independent, to be a financial burden at their advanced age, that’s just as bad as saying they failed their parents.

I agree that in addition to pension payments the government could alleviate the financial strain from caring for the elderly, just like how they’ve embarked on a campaign of subsidizing childcare. However, this issue with caregiver homes at capacity or on the verge of bankruptcy originally stems from how far removed the younger generation in Japan are from caring for their own parents when they reach an age where they may find it difficult to care for themselves. And we wonder why up until this very day, there are still cases of elderly people with grown up kids in the cities passing away in their lonely homes and being unnoticed for days.

Remember that old age will come for everyone, how would you like to be treated when you’re old and infirm with kids that call you three times a month and show up once in 6 months? Not all problems stem from bad government policies.

I can assure you, as personal/executive assistant you are more than likely going to be called at odd times, and you are more than often times going to see your boss angry and probably experience what he/she is like in that mood; if that boss is abusive or in any way affects your mental health, you are free to resign and seek a lower paying job, this woman was not forced to work as De Niro’s secretary and neither was she lacking financially considering the extraordinary sum she was being paid as far back as 2008, do you know how few people got paid as much as $75,000 at that time? What we have here is just another entitled person trying to cash out and discredit a celebrity while using gender as a means to go about it cause in this society it usually works. It’s cases like this that end up discrediting the actual cases where a person was truly abused or discriminated against because of her gender. Sad.

The LDP does what they want because there’s no noticeable alternative to their dominance in parliament and because Japanese people are generally disinterested in politics, as an obvious indicator, Kishida’s approval rating stands at 33% according to a TV Tokyo weekend survey, those respondents do not even account for up to 3% of Japan’s entire population, so it makes sense that he’d say he doesn’t care about the nicknames especially when you consider the ages of those that actually make these comments on social media and what they normally complain about, complaints like “the smiles of workers in this particular establishment was not very welcoming” completely disregarding the fact that their workers are heavily overworked, severely underpaid, and are going through a long list of mental health issues that they can’t resolve easily due to their highly constricted time for social interactions. Before the government can start talking about resolving issues related to childbirth or the economy, underlying issues need to be addressed but alas the government has long lost touch with the reality of its people.

This is terribly Ill-advised and it would only make commuting more complicated

I've been in an abusive relationship myself, where I'd have to keep quiet when she's dishing out abusive words at me so it wouldn't escalate further, and I'd basically avoid her when she wants to get physical, but when she's pleading her case to our mutual friends, you'd very well think she were the very definition of a victim. Because of Amber's lies and narcissistic compulsiveness, Johnny has gone through lots of embarrassment, lost titular roles In movie sequels we expected to see him in, and there's also been the financial cost. This is why this case is garnering so much media attention, to act as a warning to abusive high profile ladies out there that feel being a woman is all that's required to make everyone feel you're the only person that could be subjected to abuse.

The boy confronted the offensive adult and got beaten for it while so called adults probably stood by aghast but still not being anywhere as courageous enough as the minor to hold the offensive adult down. This thing about minding your business and not defending a fellow in danger or even trying to help a fellow in need is way too common in this country.

P.S. This young guy is a rare gem in this generation I'd say.

Would be helpful if they number of those tested was actually mentioned in these news reports. And also, specifically adding that - further 50 for U.S military personnel - to the Okinawa numbers, isn't good for foreigner sentiment, in a sense it's kinda divisive and would only lend more misinformed prejudice against not just Americans resident in Okinawa but foreigners resident in the entire country.
