CEOs of JP Morgan and Vanguard said that the inflation will go on for many years to the point that a day’s wage (Universal Basic Pay proposed by the WEF guys) can only buy a single meal. This will be the cost of living during the first half of the seven-year tribulation after the church has been raptured. Don’t be left behind. Repent and trust Jesus as your savior today.

I believe it’s only the PR or citizenship. My daughter is on a student visa so I got a firm no. You can only ask the question of your local embassy and hope for the best.
Good luck.

Me too! I posted something similar and was told on these discussion boards that if you live here, your close family members can visit you. Having searched though, I could not find any official information about this anywhere
If you are a permanent resident or citizen then yes you can. Your relatives should just call the embassy at their location to apply for a visa.

In Japan, any mention of a US journalist disappeared in Ukraine after criticizing the Zelensky regime is censored while @Mark for example openly calls for nuclear war in order to save the Azov Battalion in Mariupol but isn't censored. The we have our favorite German @klausdorth who accuses people of "suffering" from a Nazi phobia. Not censored. We have @starbucks equating the capture of an American general with the slaughter of innocent women and children. Not censored. Finally we have @Fighto who calls the Azov Battalion "freedom fighters". Not censored.
In Austria anyone even sharing the Russian side of the story is liable to criminal prosecution.
In Nazi Germany the regime announces it's 'investigating' any citizens expressing pro-Russian views.
In totalitarian USA 3 scions of corporate media, NY Times, Bloomberg and Washington Post all call for the curtailing of bourgeois democracy on the same day.
Like it or not, I suspect most posters here do and the censors certainly do, open fascism is up on us

Decriminalize and tax it, Japan. People here deserve and alternative to alcohol and cigarettes. Just like alcohol, if you don't like it, don't consume it. Like, why do people who are against decriminaliztion care so much about weed when there is so much usage of alcohol and meth here?
I really feel like Japan could do cannabis culture right if it were in the hands of people (cafes, farming, edibles, etc.), but the government bureaucracy is going to mess it up like most things in Japan. Nothing is going to change unless Japan Tobacco gets its share of the profits. Maybe by 2050 there will be some form of decriminalization here.
It's only illegal here because of the US occupation anyway, so it cracks me up how some Japanese are so against it. Weirdos.
A cat and pot Cafe maybe?

Posted in: Australian flood disinformation sparks threats to pilots See in context
It is not crazy to notice a change in the typhoon season and connect it with the reduction of plane travel. It certainly is not crazy to watch and see if when plane travel goes back to normal if the typhoon season also goes back to normal. That is observation. Admittedly a two year change in the weather is not even close to being more than anecdotal. That could be said for floods, fires, hot and cold weather events. It is observation over time that makes the difference.
Obvsiously is someone clever on here can advise me on what is the spark that starts a typhoon and de-link it from air-travel please do.
Damn the Wright brothers and their magical flying machines. No planes= no typhoons.

CrickyToday 07:56 am JST
Pretty hard to fake a chemical attack, pretty easy to verify one.
Really, I have the knowledge, as do hundreds of thousands of people in Japan to create a very simple chemical weapon all it takes is the basic materials an delivery system.
Any government has access to these standard industrial chemicals and all they need is a tuck or airplane.
2 phased reaction chemical poison is as simple as a few 45 Gallo drums and glass jars.
Oh they would be very primitive, not very effective on a wider area but the result it a "chemical weapons attack" easy to verify by residual chemicals.
Now just point the finger at the opponent.
