I’m tired of calling this a recession,this is a depression over 30 million unemployed isn’t a recession.
@Pau Prince 1st Global Jackal family you’re talking to dimwit trump supporters, there’s no debating the fact to them. They only took this stance because it’s where trump stood. they listen to facts, they listen to right wing propaganda.
COVID is CCP’s BioWeapon, search risk-life-flee-china virologist @DrLiMengYAN1(twitter) and her gene evidence reports, get a Gene guy you TRUST(not the famous ones on TV) to verify her reports, she has waken the right(she had to talk with the right 1st since the right was in power), help her waken the left!!

@cham fefe thats a lie and nonsense.
Its either sexism or sexual assault globally every day.
The Democrat party in a nutshell.
Japanese TV show Hanzawa Naoki, centering around a male bank employee, is a hit recently in China. While I’m impressed by the protagonist’s wisdom and courage, I also find it hard to ignore a perplexing part— almost all wives of these male bank employees are ladies of the house, whose fate were largely determined by their husbands.
I don’t know Japanese’s response to this, or whether there is any response. But if it were a Chinese show, it would have been pulled down under barrage of attacks for the sheer Patriarchy revealed in it.
Japan is a democracy, meaning, the male dominated politics is because both men AND women keep voting in male politicians. So, there is equal opportunity, just not equal outcomes. So quotas is absolutely wrong.
Japanese American living and working in a Japanese company here. Everything said here is true, but it’s a bit more nuanced and part of a larger problem of Japan being a country of the elderly. Japan is still totally about older = wiser = more right to speak and act. Young people are all told not to speak. Young women have it far worse than young men, but still, that reverse ageism is a huge thing here. So it’s both a sexism and a generational issue. Politics and power structures are dominated by the old so Japanese society sacrifices the needs and future of the young to preserve the money and authority of the old. If we can get rid of all the over – 80s still clinging onto power, a lot would change for everyone, not just women.
@Andrew Dean As a Texan… Mostly, the natural gas lines froze and natural gas facilities seized up. Most of TX power here is nat gas. Yes, wind turbines seized up too, but they attributed about half the losses nat gas facilities did. Our nuclear went down, too.
I am not even political about this. We need diversity in energy. But, those are them facts…
@Ray Bar They put you in the slammer before you commit a crime or murder? Got it.
@Gaming with Malachai79 No. I’m saying whatever they are doing is working. Keep at it. Unlike you who personally attack and insult a stranger online.
@Truthsayer 1 keep saying “you listen to fox news!” like that means anything at all to a thinking person..
Even if it was true, you just come off as a dimwit
Oh damn, Japan is facing changes in its cultural structure. Those old dudes won’t go quietly, they will go down fighting to protect their “honor.”
Has you betas demand gender confusion and feminism.
Racist stay out of Japan
Those old men can go to Suicide Forest. Hopefully, soon.
@Analogy Accepted you are not even Japanese.
Us now only got a women Veep….This story is almost same everywhere with some exceptions like Kiwees and eu countries…
Vp thsp polled at 1% and was a diversity hire. You betas must be so proud.
I remember a while ago a female translator being told “she’s a woman, why is she even talking”. She was literally the translator
Wait, ive been told repeatedly that men and women dont exist as seperate beings?
@Piotr Trebisz hentai is japanese poltitics
Whoever said that, I hope he gets sacked.
Yet libtards said gender is just a social construct. Amazing how inconsistent libtard dogma really is..
@Calvin Parish It IS a social construct. Women not being allowed to speak IS a social thing as it is men who are asking them to be quiet. Or do you think it’s their uteruses choking their voices so they can’t speak? Talk about dumbassery!
This explains so much……i means, Gundam?
@Nero Bruno Good One … ” It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World – J. Brown ” 🎼

DON’T DO IT Japan depravation will get to your nation
I didn’t know and never expected that from Japan. Yet again it didn’t amaze me, for I know it is always these old politicians worldwide that kept humanity from growing.
I’m sick of these people who don’t understand insurance.
“I want to get all the benefits I’m entitled to from Medicare.”
Bull****.
I had a home and had fire insurance.
I was NOT entitled to a fire.
I was obligated to have smoke detectors in my home and do what I reasonably can to prevent a fire.
People are obligated to use insurance as LITTLE as they can.
Welcome to Japanese society, they’ve finally arrived at 1932.
It’s all the tentacle adult animes…
Also, different cultural norms ….said …someone, oh dear who was he?
what a backward (imperialist) country. they tried to impose this barbarity on China and Korea, no wonder those countries rebelled.
The 83 year old Olympic chief said women speaks too much haaa he must have a lots of life experience
