Because unscrupulous people have gained power, many fraudulent phenomena are occurring.
The Nikkei Stock Average is said to have risen by 85% in one year. A year ago, it was 38,000 yen.
This result is due to the artificial inflating of certain semiconductor stocks. Overall, it’s fair to say that many stocks are down. This is by no means an average stock price. It is not just Japan; the South Korean stock market is also exhibiting abnormal, highly volatile, and speculative price movements. I strongly feel that everything has become a scam. As many people say, life was more prosperous when the Nikkei average was 10,000 yen. Now, the polarization has only intensified even further. If this stock market rally were genuine, everyone in the city would be smiling and cheerful. But the reality seems to be quite the opposite.
I’m neither right-wing nor left-wing, and I don’t support any particular political party. I’m just an ordinary citizen, but lately I’ve been feeling a strong sense of unease about various things. And it seems that the main job of politicians is to raise stock prices. If they can achieve that, their approval ratings will rise. There is no sign of a commitment to eliminating inequality or pursuing peace. On the contrary, the focus is entirely on investment, with actions taken that only serve to widen the gap.
It’s because of inflation, the weak yen, it’s because it’s cheap… There are all sorts of reasons being given, but it just seems like people are finding convenient excuses. It’s merely being used as material for a money game, and it doesn’t really concern Japanese people.

Recently, a couple of friends who live in Australia came to visit. We talked for about eight hours over dinner, and we confirmed that similar problems are occurring in every country. In addition to rising prices, there are also issues such as education for children and a deterioration of public safety….In short, while various things have risen, life has become more difficult.
What is economics???

To put it simply, two countries went to war. Then they demanded a ceasefire. And now it looks like Japan will be giving a huge amount of money for reconstruction. Why should Japan have to bear part of that reconstruction cost? It makes no sense.
It has been reported that Japan will bear a burden of 24 trillion yen.
Our country is merely being used for various purposes. We are suffering tremendous inconvenience and loss because of a foolish and thoughtless person. We can’t take it anymore. First, sell your skyscraper!

We see daily decisions that are difficult to understand, such as massive investments in other countries. Within Japan, there are children who are so poor they can’t afford food, and they are being supported by volunteer work. There are currently 12,600 such facilities.

Why do we have to pay around about 800,000 yen in Tariffs?
(This is partly the fault of Japan Post’s flawed system,) I’ve reached the limit of my anger.
