They will deport him, and he will never be allowed back in Japan.
If I recall correctly, some countries ask if you’ve ever been deported from a country upon entry. This is a high profile deportation- it would serve him right if he’s denied entry into other countries.

The idea that cannabis is laced is one put forth by those who have never smoked cannabis or know about the industry. It’s fear mongering. Maybe it happened once or twice in history and yet literal tones of cannabis are smoked daily.
And if it were true, it’s all the more reason to legalize and regulate cannabis to prevent a mostly harmless drug with medicinal properties into being contaminated.

If the price of bitcoin is below the cost of mining it, the network will collapse and your "assets" will no longer exist.
No because there is still financial benefit to running bitcoin servers even after the mining stops - which it will, the last bitcoin will be mined in 2040, but the system is still built to provide motivation to run the servers after that. There will not be as many servers then as there are miners now, but this is how it was planned from the start.

Unfortunate, but the reality is racism is often confused with pattern recognition
Applying stereotype regarding a group to an individual, what you call “pattern recognition”, is judging the person based on what they are, rather than who they are or what they’re done; this is the very basis, if not definition, or racism.

If the case was so flimsy, they wouldn't be pleading guilty.
Particularly because trump has said they were very good attorneys. As such they would be fine with fighting in trial, unless the evidence showed they would be found guilty.

Do you think an intelligent person would equate what you said as:
Only armed with shovels?
Regarding the claim of conscripts and criminals, that’s undeniable fact.

In the case of Japan the most likely scenario is for changes to be forced unto society at some point after a few more decades of increasing problems because of the inverted pyramid, but that is still a terrible thing to endure from now on, a much better scenario would be for those changes to happen as soon as possible so the reduction of the population is less unbalanced and the benefits come much earlier.
I agree.
