That cop, Lt. John Pike, needs to be sent to jail and pepper sprayed himself.

Azumi, i think the markets are more disappointed at your yen selling. That was a disaster. Last i checked, the yen was 76.90 to the USD, or almost back to the level before your intervention. Time to find a new finance minister. This guy is clueless

Breaking news: Cholesterol DOES NOT cause heart disease..typical govt myth and propaganda. I would be more worried about these kids' insulin level. Hyperinsulinemia is the basis for most of these modern diesease.

Dragons didn't deserve to win. Their hitting was atrocious throughout the series. I feel sorry that Ochiai had to go out like that, but the Hawks were just better overall.

I've been to his father's sushi restaurant in SF, Kabuto. It was authentic Japanese and excellent, but then i think the wife got ill and they closed shop and moved. I think they sold it to some Chinese person so now I would never go back there.

well, although that makes sense, how many companies in Japan other than JAL have been bailed out recently? not many, unlike the U.S. Things are expensive here in Japan because of the protectionism by the govt of, for example, farmers and manufacturers, hence Japan imports stuff at crazy 500% markups.
You basically hit it on the head, if you increase the number of employed workers, consumer spending increases, velocity increases, more money gets spread out to more parts of the country, economy picks up. The problem these days is that companies are hoarding all that cash that the govt gave to them. WTF is with that? the govt gave them the money to be used and to disperse to the economy. Mizuho has lots of cash, use it!

Why are you so against a company being overstaffed ? Is it taking away from your income? I can understand if you own Mizuho stock, but still.. It amazes me how people here just talk about cutting staff as if there is not a human being at the other end of that knife.

ok, here is the answer: common functions at Mizuho--crap management. Integrate them and can them all. THey definitely are not productive. Mizuho-corporate scum at its best.

I'll bet you you're going to be wrong on that. They will chop off non-performing depts, get rid of anyone they want to in the name of "restructuring" and actually can be justified, and basically have a bare bones staff at any of these places. That is the name of the corporate world.

No, it is not funny. It is quite sad for the thousands of workers who have to suffer potentially because of the effed up management.
