This is so fucking brilliant. It’s outdone political memes!
“I will ensure Japan emerges from deflation,” he said, promising to accelerate Kishida’s policies aimed at boosting household income through wage hikes."
I haven’t seen anything that suggests Ishiba is an inflation hawk. And as former defense minister, he’s going to accelerate Japan’s defense spending further and counter Chinese threat in the region. Which will boost economy.
Japan has struggled with deflation for decades. Inflation has been a welcome development for them. With an aging population and low birth rates, they aren’t in danger of heading into hyper inflation.
Basically trying to bring Ukraine back to stone age. Ukraine needs to do the same to Russia. War is fucked.
He’s plainly asking for Russian interference on his behalf.
This will force the hand of US and EU to sanction China one way or another. Of course diplomatic solutions can be worked out. What it will be has yet to be seen. As you’re aware, China has tried to avoid supplying arms directly to Russia until this move. It maybe that Chinese will manufacture the drones in Russia to avoid being seen as exporting arms.
Time to put sanctions on China. This would be interesting.
His last season with the team he intentionally slowed down his scoring to force Raptors to trade him. Thereby reducing his value. He stopped dunking. He told the other teams what our plays were coming out of time outs.
And in recent years he’s said he doesn’t regret anything he did.
Not sure, others can chime in. Some says he’s turned religious.
As a Raptors fan, I disapprove of this move. Maybe retire his number way after we retire Lowry’s. And Kawhi’s. When he’s 90 and needs a cane.
That’s insane. But he’s got a bag that most wouldn’t get. If he invests wisely, he can live well.
It’s innovative. It’s a great idea. A fantastic way to invest public money in housing. But it has to be done in conjuction with other measures that stimulates housing development.
Yes. Keeps him under contract to 2028-29 season, when he’ll be 35. Player option for 28-29. He’s got one last big pay day when he’s 34. Not bad for him nor 76ers, in case Joel’s knees give out prematurely. Not bad for Joel, since he can get an even fatter contract sooner.
Wow this is huge.
It is worth noting that China is supplying arms to both sides of the conflict.
LMAO @ “tech” company. They are trying to get higher valuation. I don’t see that happening.
This I believe is an intended effect of Chinese government’s shift away from depending on housing investment as primary factor in driving growth - to bring home affordability back as home ownership has become a deterrent to marriages and child-rearing, both in severe decline and the biggest long term strategic threat to China.
I think part of the treaty will be compensation from UK and US for the lease. Which they weren’t getting any prior to the handover.
