Posted in: How Costco succeeded in Japan: The story behind its 1999 market entry See in context
I went several times to new Costco in Shiga and every time I got frustrated buying especially fruits that are bad. I had to go back and return. A jar with jalapeno was sold to me opened and unsealed. The only thing I still buy in Costco is orange juice from Spain. I watch customers in Costco mostly coming by curiosity like visiting a museum. Even on weekends Costco in Shiga is not crowded. I saw Costco distributing leaflets "Refer a customer and you'll get 1000 yen". Seems Costco is trying to import bad quality from United States. You have to buy in huge quantity and bad quality. I noticed also that Costco sells always milk that is about 1-2-3 days away from expiring.

The wall was not supposed to be there. What idiots put a wall in such close proximity to the runaway? I hope airports hire smart people to design and build runaways.

Posted in: Ghislaine Maxwell claims Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in jail See in context
The fact that Epstein was murdered is known for long time... However, people who did that are high profile and it's very difficult to prove that. One person that I strongly suspect is Trump who spent lots of time with Epstein and was very interested to make Epstein disappear...

Posted in: Where are the workers? Cutoff of jobless aid in U.S. spurs no influx See in context
In Germany and Japan the average ratio between highest paid and lowest paid in a company is about 10. In US this ratio is 250!
That is why nobody wants to work in US. It is totally unfair, workers are treated worse than slaves. US needs laws limiting this ratio to 10.
