taj, who mucked up the company? probably the management and not the "rank and file" i am not talking about income gap but rather about responsibility and morality.

How about TDK firing their management and then go from there? TDK as well as all these big companies screwing with people's livelihood..

Occupy Tokyo needs to kick it up!

Personally it is great for me whenever i go overseas with the strong yen, and I don't work for an exporting company.

As the other previous finance ministers goes, you can't keep putting band aids on this problem and intervening and manipulating the market. The fundamental problem of the lousy Japanese economy and corporate philosophy needs to be fixed first. Overthrowing Olympus is a good start.

Singapore is a great place to live and work. I would pass on Australia unless i want to be a coal miner.

well-being

Posted in: The older generation has been through a lot. This includes war, poverty, and previous tsunamis. A lot of them are very strong and resilient, but for some, the more losses they sustain, the more difficult it is for them to keep their wellbeing.

Pro-TPP, here is why: -JP govt will make direct subsidy payments to farmers--farmers won't lose out -No one in JP will buy their own products anyways--radiation-tainted, shrinking population, aging population--so sell it elsewhere. someone will buy it overseas -Need for joining in the international community. Japan has been on itself for too long and always standoffish. Time to build relationships and not have the same continuous "island mentality." Also, Japan in general is always resistant to change and historically xenophobic. It's time to grow up and get out of your shell, Hatoyama and co.

Protectionism is a form of state government control. It will never win out.

Saw both Fillon and Wulff in Tokyo over the weekend. Security was very tight as you would expect. Just hope they actually do something productive while they're here

bad move to make linkedin in Japanese. This is a professional networking website in an increasingly global world. If the Japanese refuse to come out of their shell and start learning to use English and deal with foreigners and open up in a setting that is not comfortable them, then it is basically a glimpse of the many problems they have and will have in the future.

zichi, it's even worse at the TAC. The vibe at the Kobe club is much more relaxed.
