The Wall street journal is obsolete in 2025.

Who cares what they think.

Posted in: TikTok says it's restoring service to U.S. users based on Trump's promised executive order See in context

The issue is not the app. The issue is the Chinese government collects all data from users worldwide.

Yes, this is a national security threat for any country. The solution is to sell off the US version to an American company or shut it down. The shutdown was to take place just before the inauguration and Trump needs to be the President and understand all that is involved so the app can be creatively sold to an American company and use the administration's skills so as not to offend the Chinese. There is a lot of money and politics in play here. Biden could never close that deal.

Posted in: Trump demands immediate release of Oct 7 hostages otherwise there will be 'HELL TO PAY' See in context

I mean yeah, the hostages should be released, but inflammatory rhetoric helps nobody. "Hell to pay?" Pur-lease.

The new administration will clean up this mess.

Posted in: Japanese job-hunters reportedly dismayed by requests for 'photos showing who you are as a person' See in context

I enjoyed my time on JET, and I love our yearly family visits there. 

But why the hell anyone from a Western country with job prospects beyond Starbucks would want to live long-term in Japan is beyond me.

The only way to live in Japan long term is you must love the people and the country, money should have nothing to do with it as you will live a life of misery if money is the only reason you came to Japan.

Kamala is probably a very nice lady, however, she is not Presidential. She doesn't want it bad enough, she is only a puppet for the left.

There is something wrong with this story. I don't buy the ring-and-run concept. Japan is the most wired country in the world regarding cameras and tech. Trust yet verify.....

gnore the nonsense that foreigners say, and focus on domestic issues such as improving the working environment, raising wages or lowering taxes, and taking measures against the declining birthrate.

Meanwhile enjoy white rice and miso soup the rest of your life.

Posted in: Yen briefly dips past 161 against dollar to 37-year low amid intervention talk See in context

Japan could hit 300 yen to 1 dollar and I'd still prefer to live in Japan than the US.

Would be the perfect reason to never visit home. "Sorry - it's just too expensive!"

Great! Please do stay there and enjoy your life.
