"If Japan actually wanted to do a mutually beneficial free trade agreement, they should join TPP and give their own people lower food prices (for meats, cheese, and western produce like tomatoes) as well as letting their corporations sell products for more profit (assuming no price change is made)." Of course you are right, but governmental attitudes like that have a problem even in a democracy with at least what is nowadays called peole's representation. In Japan that is correctly called a foreign thought. You probably saw that my comment had actually been censored as soon as someone had read it, so this will be my last one. Take care in this wilderness, for me this is a waste of time....

In times like these it is all about protectionism. Only fools can expect major decisions. There will be a few tiny deals, which at least can be sold to the ignorant public.... All Japan has for sale are better cars, and the germans certainly will not want any more competition for their own industry. They have an election coming up and half the government is busy fiddling with the unemployment numbers. So damaging the only product that they have to sell would be really stupid.

@Konsta "...overcome many things as all the leaders always do." That is agood one, thanks.
Those talks will take place between two sides that are on their way down in the world. There will a quid pro quo in protectionism, that is all. No side can be interested in, or actually accept free trade, beause those very few profitable industries that they all the industrial nations on their decline have left would be ruined, if they have to open up for actual competition in a free market. So, not unlike Mafia Dons who devide a city's heroin market, they will divide the world into areas, where who gets to sell what. In imports they cannot have any interest, unless it is something marginal, which only the other has.

@Bertie This is Japan, where the people voted for Abe. So they will pay.... for present and future "protection". Because, just not having enough money at the moment, will not prevent the war with China from happening. Of course first there isthe one with Iran....

"The supercitizens are very effectively pursuing their own self-interest. "
That is the plain truth, but it is not the problem. The problem is, that because of "normal" americans, they have no problem getting away with it. A democracy needs educated, thinking people, or it will end up like the US, where people out of sheer resentment vote for the Bushs and the tea party. They vote against what they hate because they feel inferior, instead of voting in their interest. The people of America fully deserve what they get, no one else is responsible for it. The days, when a Brandeis was someone people listended to, have vanished long ago....

No, this is not a good time to buy. Everything is still overpriced, and not just a little.
Prices will fall a lot lower..... and certainly not, because some fools believe they know anything about earthquakes. Why is this simple fact so hard to understand: THERE ARE NO EARTHQUAKE PREDICTIONS!

Congrats, T-Mack... Irony, and no one notices.
But seriously. It is a bit sad that the japanese take such a long time to learn, no matter what subject. But in this case, better late than never.

Worry? No, of course not, that would be a waste of time. Even in civilised countries they are now finding out that any kind of truth will always loose out, when the alternative is more profit. The idea this might be different in Japan is very funny....
I would already be grateful if a reliable percentage number were available, telling us how many percent of what on the label says "Made in Japan", in reality comes from China and is repackaged here, so it can be sold at japanese prices.... We all saw proove of this already, but we will never get the truth about how many incidents have been discovered, and of course no realistic estimates of the actual falsly declared items. The Japan Times had a article a year ago, that openly stated that the governemnt represses 95% of this.... so, you do the rest of the math.

Only blind people use Costco.
All you need to do is really start checking the prices and comparing them. Basically EVERY single item can be gotten cheaper in other places. But, suit yourself. One visit was enough for me....

@maglev....
Great insight, really! The damage done by earthquake and tsunami can repaired easily, if that is wanted. The radioactive soil is on the surface, and lets say, it could be removed, if the government had enough interest in that. The leaks however will cause damage that will never be repaired... but you are right, I cannot not really see a problem, its inside the US

I just love this sentence: “At this point we don’t believe that there’s any imminent threat to public health." Could have come straight from the mouth of a Tepco man.....
There is "no imminent threat", which means that no one will dro dead right now, but, only "at this point".

That is an easy one:
You may, and even have to take, as much freedom with the truth as is neccesary so that the interests of people, or states, that you want to propagate with your movie, are impressivly enough represented and if necessary twisted to tell the desired version of the truth....
That goes for Ms Bigelow as well as for Mr Affleck. One must rememebr that they simply do their job, it takes a public that wants to believe their versions of reality.

Why are there so many occasions when one sees utter absurdities like this one, printed in a japanese newspapaer?
First of all, the rest of the world right now is grappling with an economic enormous crisis, because starting with ignorant politicians like Reagan and Thatcher, this so-calles "supplyside economics" and its consultant has ruined half the planet.
And second of cousre,. this so-called expert is a so-called consultant whose wisdom in advising companies on how to raise their profits has never gone beyond: Increase money income, lower costs. In other words Fire employees, and raise prices! Any 14 year old can tell you that.
You want consumer to buy more, you have to them pay higher income, its that simple
Posted in: For wages to rise, demand needs to rise, it's that simple. The problem is that while there are certain areas of growth in Japan, like e-commerce, the overall pie is not growing.

The point that everyone, including the JT, seems to be missing, this is a report of ONE incident...
Until a short time ago such incidents were not publicised at all in India, and if a woman wants to report a rape to the police outside the big cities, she would simply get more of that...
Reports like this are to be welcomed as they finally scratch the silly tourist surface of India's image and give people a closer look at the reality of that country
