Regular, repeated business trips sure, but there are places that only accept cash, so it's only logical to bring a bit of both when on a less frequent taken course.

I hope I'm wrong, but perhaps the attention the photo ops in front of the jet is worth the emission in the grand scheme of thing. Would people be more on their case if they secretly met remotely? Now a days it's so much more about perception than reality.

As to the solution, it's certain there is a tax involved and people will fight tooth and nail against it. We all know what happens to free goods / resources.

Well 834 has made claims, and 50 or so is approved, so it does appear there's some process and evidence involved. What the evidence itself is, I have no idea, these people were just sitting on it.... Thinking it would be pointless to bring the case forward all these years? Anyways it's good they are finally getting some compensation.

All talk no action, at the least talks are done remotely ... Um wait

Global revenues from women's sport will top $1 billion for the first time in 2024 

soccer's revenue is expected to reach $555 million out of a total predicted figure of $1.28 billion in 2024.

All projections, not to say it's invalid.

Yes, fiction is the best motivator.

What?

Sounds like a nothing burger. Japan isn't liable for anything.

 "sovereign immunity," which states that under international law a state cannot be tried in a court in another country.

I think the problem lies in the fact that teachers simply are in a far inferior position compared to the parent to properly educate the kids outside of technical aspects of education. The parents must continue to work with the teachers and understand their roles and responsibility more closely.

The parents and teacher having different roles in the over all education of children and it isn't really going to change.

Objectively, time is a resource and from an roi perspective, the parents simply need to invest more time relative to the teacher.

Looking very much like the hostages seem like nothing compared to the suffering the Palestinians have and will suffer over the years.

It's fine, the solution is there, the adults just don't want to implement them. Did the state conduct a survey to determine your local tax rate?

I for one don't think anyone is really looking for research to tell them more about climate change. They are looking for the next tornado to hit their local area.

land and property belonging to his company was seized by authorities on four occasions between 2013 and 2022 due to the nonpayment of fixed asset taxes.

It's not like he got away with not paying taxes. Was it just a failing business?

Never the less bad look.

So strange... Not the worst outcome of leaving your door unlocked I must say.

Everything is relative. Is your ICE car good for the environment? Is your smart phone good for the environment? Are humans good for the environment? Are we going to get rid of those too?

I'm no Trump fan, trust me there. But I have to admit, he is the "screaming in your face" living proof that something is wrong with the system.

It's good up to a point, for both the restaurant and the customer.

Better service, what exactly is "better", to each their own. I just don't see it worth the difference in price, perhaps just my expectation.

Fuel prices / fx went up 50% over a 2 month period? Not sure about that one.

? Decrease tax revenue to fight persistent inflation in the economy?

Pretty sure this is region specific, so nothing to see here

Don't eat seafood any more if you feel it's unsafe. It's not like you can hold them accountable, you can't reverse the contamination. No point to argue at all.

"Aren't self sufficient"

I don't see a scenario where Israel has no reaction to the attack by Hamas. What that reaction is that is justifiable I have no idea. I'm not sure under what basis is having the ABILITY to deny water, food, and fuel is justifiable or a permanent solution. There's likely a good reason how Gaza came to be, but to me, I don't see that as a peaceful long term solution as evidently they are self sufficient as is.

Don't blame them for being cautious; their reliance on middle East oil is not a secret and as such is reflected in the strength of their voice in this conflict.

Like asking the criminals to tell the police, we don't got beef with you, you don't need to catch me. We good, mm Kay?

Just pay taxes, believers don't care if you have to pay taxes or not.

Always found it surprising why any voter needs to know what the polling results are constantly prior to the election. Of course it's plenty useful to the electorate but I would presume they look at the data itself rather than read the news story.

The regulators basically have no idea what they are talking about. It's also hard to imagine them being the AI expert.

Just have it open sourced (training data / methodology etc) and have some sort of liability framework to hold them accountable.

To be fair suspended sentence is not exclusive to japan. Alot of blue collar crime in the US is prosecuted with suspended sentences that are a slap on the wrist too. But that doesn't mean there's no point to actually holding people who accept bribes personally accountable. Or perhaps we should actually hold professionals and people in power to a higher standard rather than let it go to save a few bucks, everything is too big to fall, wouldn't wanna rock the boat.

If cost is the issue, penalizing the company for the bribe significantly is the most direct way to get the funds to "support" the cost of incarceration if you ask me.

The amount of people in the article receiving suspended sentence is off the charts!

Push for cashless is more around information on your spending habits rather than controling if you can spend; at least interns of jp. But then again I don't think japan is really going cashless anytime soon.
