Posted in: How the weak yen is affecting ordinary households See in context

Tourism is an industry where the staff make little but the owners do.

It is also sensitive to many existential pressures.

Go back decades and Japan was a place where manufacturing was the backbone of the country and there were many winners.

Now the industry has collapsed and along with it, the yen.

Add the above into the stagnant mix season with an archaic education system and lack of funding with an anti entrepreneurial mindset and we see what can only be ……a bleak future.

Posted in: Bill to ban TikTok in U.S. unless it divests from Chinese parent clears Congress See in context

Tik Tok is used by but not for kids as stick figures of a fornicating couple pop up here and there.

Stupidness and more stupid memes assault the user and drags them into a dumbed down world.

It should be banned as it is good for nothing!

@virusrex

Are you saying that you have access categorically to all the records on gain of function research in the world and can say that Covid-19 was not a lab experiment?

It is strange that the researchers in China who worked in the Wuhan lab which was under the auspices of the Chinese military have disappeared!

If your belief is 100% certain then I applaud your

connections, time and reach!

Still, you have not seen this?

The jury is still out it seems.

But even worse is to think something that have naturally happened hundreds and hundreds of times during the history of humanity must have been artificial just because it could theoretically be so, as logical as finding wet pavement after heavy rain and blaming it on a conspiracy because people have access to hoses.

Conspiracy?

You are not a student of history, it appears.

War and pathogens go together ever since the Mongols began tossing over plague infected corpses into settlements, in the 1200s

There seems to be enough proof for ‘gain of function’ research and the practice of in China, funded by the US.

To imagine that viruses and bacteria aren’t targets for weaponization is naive.

Posted in: Japan eyes cashless tax refunds to stem illicit resale by tourists See in context

But there have been a number of cases where travelers purchase massive amounts of tax-free items and resell them for profit at tax-inclusive prices before departing Japan, according to the sources.

Who would buy items at tax inclusive prices from a tourist?

Nonsensical

I can’t write comments that will not be deleted of the enshrined souls’ actions whilst in life.

However, what is blatantly obvious is that there is a push to have military forces in Japan expand in the present.

Kyoto has been so short of money in recent years and (having seen similar in other cities) there doesn’t appear to be strict control of possible hazards emanating from private to public land in Japan.

Posted in: On first day of Trump hush money trial, prosecutors say he corrupted 2016 election See in context

The case is about a $130,000 payment made ostensibly not to reveal details of a sexual liaison.

How that payment was classified and reported is making up the bulk of the other charges.

In a sane society this attempt to embarrass and hurt an individual politically wouldn’t even be an issue.

Posted in: BOJ chief points to hiking interest rates if inflation keeps rising See in context

Wow!

The mighty BOJ will hike interest rates by .1 %

so rates will be .9% or 1%?

Even those numbers are likely impossible.

Why should I even bother with the yen if I can easily get fixed rates of dollars, euros and pounds paying at least 5%

If I want more risky (higher percentages) foreign exchange then there are even higher rates.
