Posted in: Japan, India reject Biden's comments describing them as xenophobic countries See in context
Japan is definitely NOT a xenophobic nation. Record numbers of guest workers in the next 5 years (800,000) - and foreign tourists - proves this claim by Biden to be false.
Give us your labor/money and get tf out...

Yes, it was funny. Humor. Fu-fu-fu.

Been to Hello Work couple of time when I was between jobs. Nothing came out of it, and I do speak Japanese (as a foreign language). Maybe they'll get them some short term part time gigs at best. Like teaching elementary school curriculum in Ukrainian/Russian to a non-Japanese-speaking child in public school for 1.5 hours once a week somewhere in Kashiwa-shi (Ibaraki).

The calculation being the more Ukrainians die the more Ukraine will hate Russia.

Posted in: Inflation a worry for most economies, but not Japan See in context
What I see when I go to the supermarket is that everything is getting smaller, lighter, thinner, shorter, worse-tasting, cheaper-looking and so on. Sometimes they try to keep the packaging the same size as before so people "don't notice", lol. Of course there is inflation.

The inflation in the US is solely due to Biden policies. As soon as he got into office, prices started to skyrocket even though it was one year into the pandemic. Not a coincidence.
I hear they printed so much money that there's a toilet paper shortage? Not good. not good.
