Posted in: Domino’s Pizza apologizes over viral video of employee touching dough after picking his nose See in context

Domino’s claims it was after hours and the dough was not used.

how do they know that?

in my eyes they are trying to do damage control by claiming that.

They want people to spend their yen abroad? Keep it in the Japanese economy at this stage. Plus at this moment you would get the least return overseas due to the FX rate.

Xbox tried to launch here for the 1st 3 consoles. Nobody bought them.

the US automotive industry made the same claim here that Japan is anticompetitive, but somehow the German manufacturers sell like hotcakes in Japan. Strange.

Not sure about the sedan driver, but they should really put a centerline in there so that people understand who has the right of way.

Posted in: Families moving out of Tokyo to get up to ¥1 mil per child See in context

Schools, infrastructure and jobs. Those are needed first. The average salary in Japan is about 5M and that figure is inflated by Tokyo salaries.

If you move out of Tokyo, your salary will most likely go down.

Education is best in Tokyo so the kids moving out of Tokyo will have less education and future opportunities

why would one move out of Tokyo for those prospects?

Posted in: Japan aims to alleviate overpopulation in Tokyo area by FY2027 See in context

What they don’t get is that people in Japan don’t relocate locally away from their settled home.

many company outside of Tokyo or nearby areas has extreme difficulties.

japanese companies with branch offices send their people there, but their families remain in their settled area, splitting the family.

hence they can incentivize companies to move outside of Tokyo all they want, but those companies will not find willing employees to work there.

@Laguna,

unfortunately your math is way off.

1MJPY is 100 bills

10MJPY is 1000 bills

54MJPY is 5400 bills

you can fit that into a large shoulder bag.

Posted in: Mother arrested after 2 children die of heatstroke when left in car See in context

In the summer if you park your car in direct Sun light it’ll take no time to heat it to deadly levels. I parked outside like that for an hour the other day, everything inside was baking to the point that I just turned it on got back out and waited for the AC to cool it off.

i had the foresight to remove my family from the car after parking the car though.

In most parts of the US, public transport is terrible, hence people need a car. Not everywhere is like Tokyo.

The reason the vaccination rates are so low in HK is right there in the article.

they have very strict quarantines and up until now had barely any cases. Hence people saw vaccines as useless, until now.

If you get aroused when entering a library, I got a good solution for that. Don’t visit libraries. Read books online and avoid jail time as well as scarring innocent people for life.
