Probably not fastened.

I would have had her close to last.

I like this guy.

It’s a very tough issue.

Platform owners don’t want to take any responsibility for what is posted, and only agree to take down illegal stuff. People who post outright lies say it’s their right, and the consequences of those lies are not their concern if people take action based on them. As a result of all of this, very bad things can happen based on an outright lie. Who is is responsible in this case, or is this just the way life works? One thing for sure, a lot of those lies would not be told if people had to post under their real names.

@fxgai

so if something is sustainable, it’s ok to kill it?. Ok.

Trumps arguments about the border can easily be rebuffed by simply pointing out there was a bi-partisan deal agreed to that among other things, would have provided 1500 additional patrol officers. It was a done deal - many republicans helped author and signed off on it (it was widely reported at the time as well) but then Trump at the last minute told them to kill the deal, as it would look bad for him if the Dems were able to pass the bill. He said this publicly by the way and the main Republican sponsor of the bill has publicly said "Trump killed" the bill. There are many other republicans who have publicly stated the bill should of been passed.

The inflation argument is not good either - every country on the planet experienced high inflation due to all that covid relief money, and then of course shipping costs went through the roof for everybody as well. No country avoided this. The US is actually in a very very good position with regards to inflation compared to most other countries (ie Australia) so I don't see how this is a winning argument either.

If Trumps goes on about crime, again, this is a losing argument. Official statistics show violent crime was up under Trump compared to Biden (Buttigeig pointed this out on Fox news much to their embarrassment), so unless he is going to argue the figures are fake, what else are his main points against Kamala?

And the mother let it happen.

100% the Junta have received something from Jgovt .

@Japantime

You can be proud of Japans efforts without being delusional. There are many other countries that per capita that did far better than Japan. Australia and NZ for example are just 2.

Thank goodness it’s over.

@Japantime

I think Australia might disagree with you.

Like others have mentioned, it is not a sport.

LOL, as predicted yesterday, the BOJ have done a complete 180 on their rate raise rhetoric from only last week.

For some reason, wresting gets allocated 2 bronze medals. Why? - I wouldn't know.

Great for your medal count if your country is into wrestling though.

Here is a good explanation of what is happening in real time, right now

Yep, let’s make a few billion yen off currency manipulation, but wipe hundreds of billions off the stock market and wiping out citizens savings. Well done BOJ!

So is the BOJ crashing the US market too?

Thats exactly the reason, and if you understood how the yen carry trade worked, you would understand as well, but you clearly don’t. Google it and learn a little something today.

Complete nonsense. 

You can buy foreing stocks with your nisa account. Foreing stocks in foreign currency

Yes, and they just give you this foreign currency for free right, or might they expect you to buy it with yen?

And when you want to sell the foreign equity, guess what currency you have to convert the proceeds back into?

Currency manipulation also doesn’t help.

;-)

What a crock.

Yes, you are exactly right - NISA in particular is specifically designed to keep you trapped in yen. The J-gov needs you to need yen to keep this whole illusion going.

The timing is unfortunate for sure, but the idea that people should save for old age is correct.

If you have no other option than saving fiat, then yes, it's the way to go, but you are fighting a losing battle saving money in a currency that is continually getting debased through money printing.

Let me remind folks here of my post April 29 about what was coming AND the reason.

I 100% nailed it on both counts.

Oh and another prediction - don’t be surprised if the BOJ completely reverses their rate rise rhetoric - can’t have the LDP’s primary donors seeing their investment portfolios getting slaughtered.

Posted in: Yen sinks to 34-year low past 160 per dollar  See in context

Bad for the world actually.

For those of you are do not get it yet, the 'yen carry trade' which has been responsible for most of the worlds liquidity for the last 30 years is about to blow up. The yen carry trade is when investors (mostly foreign) borrow trillions of yen at very low rates, and then purchase US treasuries paying a higher rate. The spread (profit) is what they then use to buy equities, real estate, anything....

This has only been possible because Japan has been in deflation the last 30 years - now it has transitioned to inflation meaning the BOJ needs to raise rates or run the risk of inflation getting out of control. This means the spread between the borrow rate in Japan vs the buy rate in the US shrinks. This means you effectively take trillions of dollars out of the global economy. What do you think has been propping up the US stock market for the last 20 years? - yen!!!

We are headed for a global recession, if not worse.

Most people can’t even move on one of those boards much less do what these olympians do.

All those children I see in skateboard parks on YouTube must be Olympian’s I guess as they can do all these same moves as well.

Ridiculous this activity is even allowed on the Olympics. These are not athletes in any sense.

Saw this, she completely lost her composure when she lost, could hardly walk and was wailing uncontrollably. I know she is bitterly disappointed but she reacted like a child.

Heard this exact same situation so many times over the years here, left turning vehicle kills pedestrian with no traffic lights.

My mate killed a girl the same way here about 20 years ago. He got off as the impact was on the side of the car, proving the girl rode her bike into his car when he had already turned into the crossing.

Not sure a parent should allow a 7 year ago kid to cross non traffic light controlled crossing by her self, but maybe she just ran ahead.

RIP.

The two officers removed their knife-proof vests so as not to damage the interior.

Huh?

Said at the time this was a ridiculous case. Prosecutors knew it was weak, so withheld evidence and by the sounds of it, intentionally.

Polls closed 8pm. NHK announced she won 8:01pm.

pete buttigieg is probably the smartest guy in washington right now.

I don't know about that one, the airline industry under his tenure is not doing so well.

to be fair, the US airline industry has been dismal for decades - it needs tens of billions of investment that has been lacking and nobody wants to front up with that money.
