A 13% decrease is a big deal, it's about Y100000. Similar cuts were imposed on summer bonuses, so that's a Y200000 pay cut for the year. Think of the reduction in consumer spending that entails. The Yen may have increased by 10%, but buying imports won't help domestic manufacturers.

Madrid is unlikely to win as it would be directly after London. Plus Madrid is full of thieves these days, it's awful.

I think the games should stay in Greece. I can't imagine why cities line up to run up billions of dollars of debts building stadia that will only…
