In hospitality and retail customer servicing jobs’ productivity can easily be increased. It in Europe one server handles, without problems, 10 to 15 tables. In Japan barely 5.

But also in Europe a good waiter makes very good money. And is respected by the clients. Of course they are paid at least double from Japan in comparison.

Any comment from Yanai San must be taken seriously. He has earned that respect.

And he is correct that productivity in Japan is extremely low. On the other hand if workers can become more productive there will be no shortage of workers. Stil many are doing unnecessary work. Over bureaucracy in government and with Japanese multinationals. Overstaffing is common in offices. Everywhere really.

Also Japan’s need for workers is declining with decreasing population which means less of everything. But if this would have been anticipated it would have increased quality of life in Japan. Sadly…

Impressive. No one messes unpunished with Israel or the Mossad.

13 years to prepare a little robot. They should try a toy robot it might work better.

they have no idea what to do and go from excuse to excuse.

have you ever heard of a Japanese company, especially one as traditionally managed as Tepco, accepting or even listening to external advisors ?

The question is . How many are really stil alive and how manyxare decceased with family keep drawing pensions.

No but it will increase domestic violance

Same goes for most recent earthquakes and floodings.

It is like it’s the first natural disaster in Japan every time over.

He means, when the sales agents have pocketed enough yen on rice price manipulation and they move on to another commodity to do the same. Lately its been coffee, cacaobeans..

In the end… no one and everyone. Makes for happy lawyers

If it has no butter it should not becallowed to be called butter

He was just her “yes “man. Happy with the status and arrogant.

he might have asked her finally to put in some work and off he goes

Of course not. After the election

Time for anus masks instead of face masks. Perfumed

7 and i will sell because the current management is running it into the ground. It might look good at first glance but the future is bleak. In Japan, Taiwan, Hongkong, China, South Korea the number of outlets will decline and turnover of the remaining ones be reduced. In Thailand, Australia and other south east asian countries there are possibilities. With new owners and management.

Nippon Steel will not savd US steel, it will only prolongue its agony. Steel is a strategic business sector andcwill always be kept alive by US government

BUT i will also say that someone who has not eaten sushi in Japan, never has eaten sushi.

it is an undeniable fact that only in Japan you find the top sushi or sashimi

fullstop

Agreed. Great need for REAL Japanese sushi chefs abroad not just a Japanese cutting fish and boiling rice.

the big problem to popularize Japanese cuisine is that most Japanese restaurants are run by Chinese or by Japanese with no qualifications, skills other than being Japanese.

they serve fish and rice which dies not mean its sushi and cheap cooking sake at horrific prices. Use cheap product and even cheaper bowls and plates.

Not worried at all, just acknowledging the fact and never trusting anything online before its checked by reliable sources.

Coe will be President. One of the raasons Brisbane and his knowledge of many shady deals over the past decades.

several he was and is involved in.

It would be impossible for him to retain World athletics Presidency as IOC President but there are many simple solutions for him to retain a seat on the 115 member board( fluent number depending on deaths and replacements).

rules will get changed or bent for him before they would need to be broken. The UCI President is an incompetent politician creating havoc and disaster at UCI.

Making each and every promise to get the LDP Presidency and near automatic PM position.

all the candidates are now making agreements and arrangements with the Japanese powerhouses, trading companies, banks.. and among each other.

who gets what in return to drop his/her candidacy.

Even an offer at todays total capitalisation price is generous as the number of stores will start falling, particularly in Japan with the depopulation. Also the lower population density will reduce the number of clients and revenue making it more difficult to be profitable. But reducing the product offer with smaller stores will see ever declining footfall. The competition will face similar problems. Within the decade there will be inevitable mergers in Japan between the operators. A FM, Lawson and 7-11 within 100 meters of each other is not liveable for most locations.

Steel is a strategically valuable product and most governments have been subsidising the industry for decades while also selling surplus at dumping prices to break competitors.

Besides that, the management skills and the domestic knowledge of the Japanese managers will be far inferior to that of the US managers now. As usual the Japanese will also overpay.

Jaian will heavily support this investment and that alone should be enough to stop it.

Lawyers are the rapists of justice. Anything for money.

I hired 8 of them to bring home my stolen dogs. I paid retainers. That was it. . It was clear who stole my dogs but court and lawyers were on the money and the Japanese side.

game over.

Of course not. It clearly solves nothing and it dramatically kills a game.

it only shifts the mistakes from the referee to the VAR officials.

honest referee mistakes are part of a game and it’s an illusion the var can change it

The comments here are all of subject.

I agree with the comments criticising the CCP but Mr Li is correct that the LDP has for decennia been hollowing out it’s “ defence only “ stand. Not only in the constitution but in comments by many politicians.

nomatter the reasons of Mr Li , his statement is true.

Japan has the worlds 4 th best equipped army/navy/airforce in the world already. No matter how you call the armed forces.

Looking at the past I prefer a less strong Japanese force. Lack of soldiers will hopefully keep it in check but as the Ukraine conflict shows, numbers of solders are less important now.

I am afraid a 3 rd world war is unavoidable but it will be religious one. The most stupid of all wars

My wife is from Hongkong and a staunch fighter for the democratic mouvement. We just had under the new “ national security law all our property seized. Just like that. If that is where and how Nomura wants to make money they should think again. At anytime all assets can be seized by the HK government. Wear the wrong colour t- shirt, ( black), sing the wrong song and off you go to jail. My wife was detained for 6 weeks to join a peaceful demonstration. People are getting life sentences just because they express free speech. Maybe we can not survive now but regrets we do not have

Everybody gets depressed sometimes to a small or serious extent. Life experience helps or should help to relativiteit the highs and lows. Regretfully this girl did not have the mental strength yet to see future light.

we all meet our end within a period of 85 years on average. So no need to rush. That helps to place todays problems in a longer term outlook.

It is one of the very good things in Japan. Anything and everything can be improved but it is good.

The only thing Japanese ( and all other lawyers) are good at is collecting ridiculously high retainers and then do nothing.

i hired 8 lawyers to bring my stolen dogs home. All useless.

Again, Osaka only steps on court and made a comeback to assure sponsorship extensions which were otherwise going to end. Surely the money came down in the contracts but stil more than enough to play some tennis. She does neither make the physical nor mental training work a real pro does. Once, she was the best for a brief period but for years it’s only money.

As long as she can she will milk sponsorship money and tournament fees

Much respect for his father but he is a typical fils-a-papa.

complete failure exploiting his fathers good name and image.
