Japan has been in an economic downfall for the last 35 years. And, this is why. No representation by women and tax international people who pay taxes

Care to provide some details for that rather arbitrary link?

Diversity is not a "strength". It is window dressing.

As long as they are competent why does it matter ?

Either way, I am not sure there was even a competent pool to choose from.

The link between climate change and infectious diseases ?

Please.

How about the fact that more people are travelling to various places ? Not even a mention?

Propaganda detector is going wild.

knock down many of the guardrails against misinformation, have prompted concern over their potential to manipulate voters 

or could be rewritten as - taking away the censorship of free speech, have prompted concern over particular groups ability to continue to manipulate voters......

Without it, your country will decline like Brexit Britain, with a debased currency, inflation, staff shortages and collapsing services - health, education, childcare, administration, retail, hospitality and trade

Britain was already in rapid decline before Brexit.

There are shortages in healthcare especially - however this is also being exacerbated by so many new arrivals as well. There is a structural problem in the UK that needs to be addressed - untargeted immigration is not a cure and is worse than the disease.

Oh my this article is a major reach.

I guess some organisation out there is trying to create a positive buzz about "immigration" in this current climate.

They take two rather specific examples, then reach a general conclusion.

For places like the UK, immigrants assuming jobs such as uber, hospitality, vape shops, mobile phone stores - do not "free up" resources for higher levels on production.

Noone denies that some immigration, in certain sectors, is highly beneficial. The logical extension of that is not "therefore all immigration good, we need more"

Doctors and other medical workers use pagers in Lebanon.

its not ANY pager - its pagers bought by terrorists for terrorists.

4 Japanese Laws That Desperately Need To Be Amended For Women

The only one of merit in those four is the imperial succession, and thats only relevant if you arent abolishonist.

Lets push more women to be full time managers and CEOs

Oh no our birthrate is dropping but why?

Be careful what you wish for.

Just a reminder for downvoters 1.4% is exactly half

Also remember this average is weighed down by far flung regions with low property values. (ie, more central locations will likely see much higher, such as Kanagawa)

Agreed it isnt really "sharp" though, but a significant difference from what has been the norm.

I recently went to Osaka castle and wish I hadn’t, and it didn’t cost much anyway.

They are very different - Himeji is restored in the way it is thought to have been.

Osaka castle is a joke, nothing more than a viewingpoint with a castle facade.

The colonizers brought a lot of invasive species

Who colonised japan ?

Garbage is garbage whether "diverse" or not.

Japan, 47 African nations agree to work together for success of summit in 2025

is rather generic and doesnt mean anything specific.........

 don't understand. If he was able to open it to take some of the money, why wouldn't he take all of it?

perhaps not a big enough hole to get it all out?

Or the owner was looking for a bigger insurance claim...

but question whether they could improve

Perhaps its about them wanting the know-how to improve their own stores, hence paying the premium for it.

At least he has remorsr

I think he realised that robbing the "adult entertainment" girl, some very nasty people were likely to come looking for him, so he fessed up.

Why are they panicking so easily??

its our modern culture of seeking blame, so panicking is incentivised - ie, if someone somewhere had something bad happen to them, it can't be said that they weren't "warned".

It is rather sad.

(and even foreign residents of Japan are required to present and have their resident card photocopied, which includes their name, photo, and address).

This is NOT a legal requirement. If you have an address in Japan, you are not required to.

I think what we think about it doesnt matter.

Just make sure it should never ever happen again.

So a republican isnt allowed to commend a democrat when they do something good?

And you call republicans divisive? jeez

And I'd rather have a country of skilled, intelligent, well-traveled, well-read immigrants

Not sure what planet you are on but those are not the ones lining up at Calais, or landing on our shores in dingys. Absolutely delusional.

"Anti Racism", does not equal "let in the immigrants"

And it also follows, that those for stopping the flow of illegal migrants, are not "racist".

False conflation right there. Modus operandi of the left.

Get ready for the regular "It takes two to tango" apologists who have never heard of the concept of consent.

get ready for the "Get ready for the regular "It takes two to tango" apologist apologists, who have no concept of self responsibility.

Noone has said it takes two to Tango. The man picked up a subconscious woman on the street, so he should be punished for his actions, ie, sexual assault. No doubt about it.

Now allowing yourself to get to such a state, when there are people who can easily overpower you, is not a good position to put yourself in.

When you bring very cheap labor force and you pay them unhuman salaries,

When you bring in outsiders with no respect for property rights, or local culture you mean.

Why the assumption he is stealing to "survive"? Maybe he isnt even trying to find a job. We do not know.

Why the fervour to label it "Right Wing"?

Conservative - conserve, keep.

There is nothing wrong with this, and everything wrong with the mentality of trying to politicize it.

We shouldnt be drinking orange juice anyway, it is terrible for you, unless it has most of the pulp in there with it.

If the character was caucasian, it would be just as ridiculous and offensive to Japanese.

Why are Japanese male samurai being marginalised in their own period games ? if its "just a game dont worry lol" then why all the fuss about DEI in games, as they are "just a game don't worry lol". Goose and gander.

A lot of people dont seem to appreciate that there are resources that go into catering for the average foreigner (ie doesnt speak japanese).

If you are resident and you are willing to prove so, you will pay the same as Japanese nationals so whats the beef.

Sounds nice yea but, where is this money going?

Wasn't Ukraine pretty high in the corrupt politician rankings?

I'd rather have Japanese companies directly involved instead, as then we have a better idea of where the pork barreling goes.

Or how about no ?
