God forbid if they stole in return for pay by locals (Japanese boss)... Immigrants are good only for cheap labor doing jobs locals don't want to do (not just Japan but all over). Think of stealing km of copper cable and ship outside of Japan without insider collaboration? Or perhaps there is black market in Japan? no? And, really JT, this is headline? Really?

Will speak truths drop posting from JT? Here go, around the world for so long now Japanese porn are popular by showing women as sex. submissive and make it worse seems to encourage incest and forced sex; and like it or not, access to porn is easy nowadays through Internet so the believe of Japanese women are sex hungry and toy is nothing different than fake news that are getting more difficult to separate from facts.

Forgive me for being bad in math but if the ratio is 1:1 then stat. of girl&boy s/b the same,no? otherwise, am I incorrect to say girls have more fun than boys? Maybe more romance via texting, sexting, watch porn, &masturbating contributed to the drop. Today's tech. ain't the same as 3 decades ago, but perhaps I am wrong, so again, I beg for your pardon.

Posted in: Paetongtarn Shinawatra becomes Thailand's youngest prime minister See in context
This is a prime example of populism at work which sadly spread rapidly around the world. Govt is owned by the corrupt power which have nothing to offer for the people but enrich corrupt riches by making all attractive promises to make people feel good&hopeful while they steal power. Of all the committed well-educated Thai patriots, why Shinawatra again? Her dad and her aunt were ousted of power because of corruption and now her? The youngest who has zero experience in govt affairs, born rich now lead a country that is desperate for political stability? What happened in Thailand under Shinawatras is the best corrupt crime story that is far better than any stories produced by Hollywood.
Dear Thais, I feel your pain.

Always suspicious of billionaire in high power of a country, to be a billionaire in any country means mainly one thing, he/she is profit driven, so to have such a person in govt which is by definition is not for profit but well being of ALL people, is beyond contradictory. Thaksin allowed back in Thailand is already sign of corruption. Why Shinawatras desperate to be in power? His sister, daughter, later grand kids and so on? Time for Thais to move forward without corrupt rich in power

Posted in: Men living alone - widowed, divorced or single – a growing phenomenon in Japan See in context
life style is driven by Corp./super riches greeds, family is getting smaller because it is unaffordable, separated by job opportunity, less quality time with family due to job fatigue. focus on job instead of family because of job security, work like slave so Corp. can meet and exceed target to boost quarterly results so executives make more $, need we say more? Furthermore, politicians who by definition work for constituents but name only, they're owned by Corp. These are a few factors make life less pleasant, & shrinking. I do wonder as am looking around me on a remote pacific island, why these folks who have a lot less, not seem, but are happy with their lives while I dread going back to the daily grinds? Love and be loved, y'all.
From afar and bottom of my heart, wish everyone the best life has to offer.

It is all about what is best for Japan, which is common for all nations/human being, we are one way or another are selfish. Need high skill and educated to fill much needed positions at affordable pay; need low skill and uneducated for dirty jobs Japanese don't want and/or can't do (due to age etc.). The fact is clear, like it or not, we must learn and accept to coexist.

How he's been treated since his return is corrupted act by his cronies.

Demand her resignation so other politicians think twice before making stupid comments.

Tesla is a financial vehicle for its fascist owner to accumulate wealth, to spread his fascist racist agendas. It is why more consumers turn off from purchasing Tesla. No matter the quality but reputation matter. Musk destroys his enterprise by claiming fake free speech. Hopefully my comment is allowed by JT? It is about why Tesla is nothing but financing corrupt power. Arigato!

It is appalling seeing those studied medicine with first and foremost intention to help the sicks are on strike mainly to ensure they are well to do class while disregard well being of human beings. Classic monopoly of skills and knowledges. It would be the problem if their compensation is below the poverty line, but not at middle class and/or above as currently is, what more do they want? Get rich and accumulate wealth by work, save, invest, planning, etc, not with pain&suffering of patients. Fire them all, guarantee they'll walk back begging for work.

Ready or not, cheating is being normalized by reality shows, TV, movies, social media, etc. We live in period of fully connected to Iphones and tablets/computers so life style is shaped by stories on screens and social media. Apps for date, anyone? apps, for affairs, anyone? Ain't no big deal anymore. Ever wonder fascism, Nazis, lies on media are no longer big deal because it is all over social media and mainstream media are forced to follow suit. In fact to gain more clicks and followers, isn't better glamorize affairs?

To the experts/economists believe stock market do not reflect economy, I say, think again. Market driven by profits and growth so it depends on the economy. Good policies are needed for sustain and growth of econ while stock market sometimes fluctuate based on speculations and others, but overall strong econ drive market. The question is, if the elite economists who always mention mathematical & quantitative theories to credential their reasoning, why inflation and unemployment can't be controlled for good? Econ is not science but practical and common sense supply and demand balancing act.
