Yep, he is right. not to mention, minimal wage contributes to the increase in production costs and prices of end products, at the end hurting same workers that it intended to protect.
Posted in: Minimum wage hikes won't help stabilize workers' livelihoods because companies are trying to cut labor costs.

Perhaps, but if the kid was stupid enough to print money from home printer, i don't think he has the brain power to work this kind of scam.

I am strongly opposing Tokyo for various reasons. Rio would get a much needed boost from this.

saw this movie back in April in Australia. What's the reason for a 5 month delay while ticket prices are still the same?

Perhaps you should read my post again. I was very clear when I said that English menus are available for Export market that are available at limited duty free shops where they are more expensive or outside Japan. I have a Sony DSLR A300 that I bought in Australia. Japanese market model does not have English menu and the one I have doesn't have Japanese.

About English menus: Sony and Panasonic are the only 2 manufacturers that don't do English menus on any of their cameras. They are not cutting costs because they have to write 2 types of firmware: one for the Japanese and one for export markets. Export models cost a lot more in Japan and are limited in options (for example Sony DSLR don't come with body only option). They are sold only in selected duty free shops and are generally a lot cheaper if you buy abroad. They don't have Japanese option, so people like me are screwed because I am not planning to export it but want to use it in Japan with English option, and at the same time my Japanese girlfriend would fancy a Japanese menu. So instead of satisfying such customers with single solution of multilingual menu Sony and Panasonic chose to sacrifice potential customers to their competitors such as Canon or Olympus. I am not sure why they are doing it. Maybe they make extra buck from stupid gaijins on short term trip to Japan, but they are definitely loosing on long term residents.
About size: I think this is a great product because a lot of photographers here tend to take public transport and big size cameras are not a good option. However a small size 4:3 sensor restricts image quality (especially in the dark) and correct aspect ratio.

Legalize drugs and make taxes on them the much needed source of funding for all their programs. In addition: get rid of most of their programs, balance the budget, decrease police force, abolish or privatize national health insurance and pension, cut military spending, get rid of import duties and taxes. The best thing they can do for me personally is maintain money supply and interest rates.

I hope this cabinet will be out as least as quickly as the coalition in 93. Bunch of expensive promises to the population while your deficit is 196% of the GDP is not going to fix the country.

Is that because they were too busy riding their fancy white bikes or stopping random foreigners for illegal searches? Japanese cops are just a bunch of useless monkeys. Serve and protect? never heard of that one.
I hope the doctors will be a bit better and will actually save that poor girl...
