Finally, what the average person needs /s

Japan is one of the 40 countries globally with a national dementia plan in place. However, it is not yet in place, 

hello?

Rice harvest data only started in 1999?

excluding koshihikari? It’s #1 in sales

Wait isn’t JA the entity that buys 90% of rice produced supposed to store rice and ensure that these things don’t happen? Why are we paying JA three times the world market price then? What are they doing with 2x the profits?

It’s not only global warming. It’s the National Police Agency completely irrational fear of allowing people to hunt the pest animals which carry these insects close to human habitation. Soon there will be almost no hunters because it’s more difficult to get a shotgun and a hunting license than it is to get a driver’s license and an automobile. Until the tick diseases start happening in metropolitan areas the politicians and government will continue to ignore the problem.

Ambassador to Japan is the height of nepotism

19% of workers got raises, 81%?

Net zero is a joke. It’s impossible to attain.

you can’t get more from less

that said, maybe school break should be longer?

More jets full of tourist hordes and crank up the A/C in those hotels

As we frogs slowly boil in the BOJ pot.

They can’t let the temperature get too high too fast or we may notice how bad we’re getting reamed.

Very well written article JT. Hope the author gets one of those dreamy raises.

Wow, hope the prosecutors get moving and start making dozen’s of arrests, and rearrests

quickly. Nah, who am I kidding……?

Another 30,000 yen spent PER taxpayer. On top of the last 2-3 unsuccessful interventions which were much larger. Just give each taxpayer the 200,000 yen so we can fight inflation and the weak yen as WE see fit. On energy, food and other items that are NOT included in the CPI stats!

Electricity rates going up 46% yes , 46% in June for Kansai and Kyushu.

tell me more about the 2.2% nonsense

Another law 30 years late with no teeth

Why anyone would want to stand in line on a mountain, or for a bowl of noodles for that matter, is beyond me.

Well done

The recent yen intervention cost 70,000 yen per resident of Japan.

this is the second or third time the BOJ has intervened.

just give the residents the cash. The Yen is tanking again.

US ambassador Chuck Fina was quoted as saying, “ tough toenails”

60% loss of purchasing power in 5 years.

Tell me again inflation is 2%

Just go away hacks

And the jail sentences? Probably none.

Chubby Weebs in cringy suits

JPY 50% loss of purchasing power in 5 years.

Fire these clowns already

Gold in yen is off to the races for 5 years now

Unions make up less than 10% of the working population, great

Sounds like teachers not doing their jobs

The legal system here is so closed to the public. If you don’t have the shiny pin on your lapel you ain’t in the club. But to reform the legal system means expanding it. Expanding it to more meet the needs of the public requires money and thinking outside the box, two things Japan is extremely stingy with. Also the reform system would need expanding as the police would be required to actually go after criminals who flout the law, yes even the small aggravations like traffic violations, open prostitution, and especially public nuisance.

Typical money first, plan second approach to everything nowadays

The older I get the more I see what a scam the Olympics are.
