Would be a very scary ordeal.

Glad she is safe and sound.

I might buy one of those floaty unicorns.

Any mandatory or forced / coerced medical procedure is unconstitutional, ethically unsound, against a person's Human Rights and the people pushing for it are morally bankrup - in all cases.

Period.

Does he still have to pay the fare?

Look forward to seeing and using them.

Cash is Emperor.

The Non Disclosure Agreement which was paid was not the so-called 'illegal' part of the case.

Trying to flimsily tie it to election interference created the novel crime.

When that so-called 'crime' supposedly occurred and in what capacity could indeed have been part of 'official acts'.

With baited breath we wait - albeit not until later, and likely - not at all.

I hope they resume the flight path over my house again.

I love to watch and listen to those heavy rotors as they throb by.

Look and sound awesome.

I remember a couple of years ago, when the Gov was paying our tax money to restaurants and bars and other establishments a substancial daily amount if they shut their doors or reduced patronage until arbitrary times.

Even held an Olympics without visitors and shut the country off to most tourists for close to 2 years.

People worked remotely and stopped visiting their local bento or ramen place close to their offices for lunch and after work drinks.

Yeah, I am not suprised in the slightest that it's in the current state it's in.

Laughable that anyone thought that they were a rock solid set of ideas.

Sad chuckles all around.

A very sensible and common sense ruling for any decent democracy.

Well done to the Supreme Court on this one.

The Governor and the Deputy Governors shall be appointed by the Cabinet,

Yes. However, But they don't work for, or on behalf of the Government, although may work in request to help stabilize exchange policy.

Therefore IOU of banknotes is from the BoJ, to the Government and hence the taxpayer.

Of course as a business .the BoJ must adhere to the Law as much as a convinience store would.

The BoJ are a juridicual person and officers cannot be involved in public office.

For interest:

(Article 26(1)An officer of the Bank of Japan (excluding counselors; hereinafter the same applies in this Article and Articles 31 and 32) must not conduct any of the following acts during their term of office:

(i)becoming a candidate for the Diet, for any council of a local government, or for any elected public office;

(ii)becoming an officer of any political body including a political party, or actively engaging in political activities;

.,.

(2)If an officer of the Bank of Japan becomes a candidate for the Diet, for any council of a local government, or for any elected public office, that officer is deemed to have resigned as an officer of the Bank.)

Banknotes are government-issued IOU's.

The Bank of Japan issues banknotes - not the Government

Article 1 (1) of the Japan Bank Act.

Probably and it will be a living nightmare. There are still machines and parking lots that won’t accept the new ¥500 coin, so you expect some headaches for a long time, unless they have a massive plan to simultaneously implement new machines around the same time, but this being Japan, I doubt it.

As far as electronic pay is concerned you might have better luck using that than hard paper currency for now until the system is securely put in place.

Most probably, just another manufactured annoyance to push more and more companies and zombie card tappers into the digital slave trade.

With the USD on the way to 1 / 200 JPY, the 10,000yen note will only be worth $50.

"We're gonna need a bigger bank"

Will be interesting to see the new development and what they come up with.

Love a well designed waterfront.

Hang him high.

Not for the murder, just for his terrible so-called 'comedy' and 'acting'.

Shudders.

Australia and UK are both island countries, so it's complicated to let any foreign gaikokujins in their club, as they don't know the manners or language needed in the culture.

They are probably afraid that meetings might be chotto awkward, so don't want any embarrassing moments, which may hurt the honorable feelings of any new guests.

Plus the 2nd tier would need to have a different pricing strategy for outsiders and Japan just can't afford it, even with the shiny new bank notes.

Super plus, plus, Japanese cybersecurity and intelligence sharing is like a rusty sieve. So no way can be possible to wisper any sweet nothings lest it go straight onto Wikileaks.

Japan in highly indebted and sevefal banks including the BoJ are insolvent of very close to bankrupsy.

There is no reason or economic fundamentals that can see a rise in the JPY atm, except for speculators cashing in or trading like crypto.

RIP

His flight tracker is now #1 worldwide.

The most tracked plane in the skies:

This could be as big as Taylor Swift ;)

What products have PFAS that many people wear on their faces everyday?

What a historic amd glorious day for freedom and for Government exposure.

Smiling and homeward bound on the plane today.

Loved his defiance and wording in his plea.

I heard he crossed his fingers behind his back while he uttered the falsehood.

Very smart cookie.

Wonderful news for him and his family.

A guilty plea was a necessary evil on their behalf but I am yet to see any crime that was committed.

Exposing crimes by criminal Government members and their corrupt military s is what a journalist should be doing.

He was used as a scapegoat to scare and deter other concerned and enlightened global citizens about daring to speak up to power.

Those that were guilty, lied about WMD and those murderers in the helicopter.

Talking and exposing facts is to be admired. Heroic and brave against ones own personal freedom and safety

Well done Julian.

Hero.

When Taiwan kicks off, these will be taken by one side or the other - with an excuse to boot.

Gonna be interesting to see who wins it.

I guess in this race, the first to land and set-up base will win and own the island for the foreseeable future.

The loser won't be able to do anything about it - unless they want conflict.

The loser won't get any spoils without conflict either.

Make haste either side - and put this BS to bed.

But really.

'What is a woman?'

This is a major issue going forward.

Self driving trucks won't be anywhere close to existence in 6 years - people are expecting robots to load and offload the goods too?

Sure some drones and automation will come into play but not fpr at least 15 years or more in any substantial way.

Rail isn't feasible for the whole country. Many areas don't have accesible rail, so need trucks at load and offloading points too.

If the freight supply doesn't move smoothly, bottle necks and shortages of products occur and rising prices will be the result. Especially in rural areas where the people can least afford it.

More labor is required for people to drive and load / unload the necessary trucks. More human drivers are essential.

Now.

Period.

For the traditional vaccines that have an inactive component of a virus that induces the cellular body to havean immune responce, then maybe a goid idea.

For non traditional and loosly termed 'vaccines', which don't do the above, it's a hard pass.

I find it hard to find a reason for any vaccines though atm.

Natural immunity all the way.

Did you hear the one about the Japanese guy who wanted more foreigners walking around Japan?

No?- Me either

Love to see so many people to be able to visit Japan that previously couldn't due to the costs or exchange rates.

Hope they enjoy their holidays and enjoy the lower prices.

Lucky guy.

He will be getting some lavish and delicious Vietnamese dishes and exquisite hospitality with attractive and very stylish, well dressed ladies.

Something none of us will ever experience in that beautiful country.

Lucky guy.
