Watch this investigative reporting by PBS frontline on the secrets of credit cards and how they work.

I wish that Japanese teens could watch this and understand it.

And then they get all uppity when you point out their fake lies and gibberish. They pretend as if they weren’t the ones who stopped having rational debates years ago.

i've had the best experiences in japan in this regard: every time i was stuck in front of a train map trying to find/understand the information, there would always be a kind japanese passerby asking me "can i help you?"

Nothing to see here folks. Move along. But remember: no violent rhetoric from the right. No fiction, lies, or "made up stories". Just a typical MAGA routine of propaganda and verbal abuse.

because all of my elderly friends... 

darn, never thought i was elderly until reading this. we 70+ are just fermenting.

H9w can they take that much on health insurance when you’re low income?

yes, i would think it would be 15,000 per person. he should check with the city.

Wrong.

No. Correct. JD Vance himself has admitted that he and Trump are creating these dangerous stories that are untrue, to get people talking about immigration. If they really wanted to talk about immigration, then they would stick to the facts and actually support immigration bills that are presented in Congress. On the subject of immigration, let's not forget that Trump promised to finish building a wall between Mexico and the U.S. and get Mexico to pay for it. Both claims he has not fulfilled. He also uses dangerous language like calling immigrants "rapists" and "murderers". He even has openly called for security personnel and his supporters to hit and commit violent acts against protesters against him, and he promised to pay for their legal bills. What presidential candidate does that?

Japanese warships are great - when they are at the bottom of the ocean.

Like China would know? They’ve consistently been defeated by Japan in both land and see engagements for over 100 years lol

The left as well with all the disgusting incendiary comments they continue to make

Far right extremists may think so lol

The flood is a result of the global warming.

Let's see how well this works on JT.

This education idea is great. I only wish it had been offered when I was young. There was so much I had to discover. Luckily my wife acted as a painful brake on me over the years until I began to learn.

I get less than JPY 200,000 a month pension.

My wife takes 50,000 for food expenses, the landlord takes 50,000 for rent, both automatically deducted, and I pay around 50,000 for health insurance, healthcare, etc. With what is left I pay all the other household, car and transportation bills for two, etc. It certainly feels as if Tigerjane above is correct.

It's just sad that the city of Springfield is being used as just a way to promote the Trump campaign. It's just being used as a way to divert people's attention away from Trump's problems,

He didn't.

terrible debate performance, and Trumps lack of policies. He doesn't care one bit about the problem in Springfield. As long as it can get him elected and give him the power to stay out of jail, he'll continue to spout these lies. 

Wrong.

Also, I should note that Elon Musk's and Trump followers' gross claim that Harris and Biden have not had any assassination attempts on their lives is probably false. Do they really think that the Secret Service, FBI, and other government agencies that investigate all probable assassination plots against leaders in the U.S. government would publicly advertise every incidence?

Then how would you know? 

In fact, there have been several incidents like a bomb left outside of Obama's home,

A bomb outside a home is different from having an active shooter having you in his bullseye.

and a number of people caught outside of the White House. Not to mention the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband. We soon forget those things.

No one forgot them and they're not running for President, so it's different.

The bottom line is that any kind of violence against any government official should be taken seriously. Unfortunately, it's sad that Trump would use this kind of serious incident just for his political gain and selfish reasons.

The US military has gone from mocking Iran's weapons to trying to mimic them.

Since Russia and Iran have shown what low tech can do in a war unconcerned about human rights violations, yes, we will have to resurrect some of that cheaper technology we invented.

But it faces some big hurdles.

The first is the clash between the underlying philosophy of cheap, plentiful, cutting edge weapons and it's entire weapons development and supply system.

Private industry does exist and since it is low tech, will not be a problem to stand up.

The second is the long, vulnerable supply chain between it's factories and it's far flung military.

It will be an away game for sure, a battle over Taiwan, but China will have the added challenge of trying to enforce a blockade.

The third is that when it comes to 'strategic sciences' it is falling behind on the basic research as well as having spent the last half century building the exactly wrong sort of infrastructure to convert that sort of research into these sorts of weapons.

You don't need to research dirt simple guide kits and drones and we invented this stuff.

Or, to put it another way, they've got a massive series of Sumo wrestling schools, and almost no Judo ones. And have discovered that they need the opposite.

You don't need to train to be a judo master to deal with poor countries like Iran and Russia, you just need to buy the off the shelf drone kit.

Fightoo, America will.never go to war with China

Seems like it.

Philippines left to fend for itself again and might have lost another shoal permanently

The Philippines is keeping the US out of the conflict. Whether that is smart or not remains to be seen...

Wow, so angry. Very Trumpian.

No reason to be, that is all you have, talk and nothing else, but I will say this, Kamala is just not doing all that well in PA and if I were her, I would be very, very nervous.

Please do not shoot the messenger. I do not agree with the article that I cut and pasted

I was pointing out the inane stupidity of the quote.

You're only inanely stupid if you agree with it.

Typical coward.

Wow, so angry. Very Trumpian.

Please do not shoot the messenger. I do not agree with the article that I cut and pasted, however, that is the reality of the elderly presently in Japan all I am doing is just relaying the facts. I find the government heartless and mean spirited with their decisions regarding the healthcare in Japan for the elderly,

Typical coward. Lol

It's the best, so we prevent a Trump fan from arriving with an AR-15 and shoots immigrants..

Trump's country..

Ok, so you can't as usual, got it.

Fake news.

Where? Which corporation on Wall street?

Gibberish.

Names are not going to save your weak arguments

Gibberish.

Yeah, but letting in 10 million illegals

Fake news.

And the sky is really a bowl of Cheerios. Lol

Gibberish.

I’m the type of idiot who knows when he doesn’t know what he is talking about and when he does.

Such as this case, where we people of intelligence will tell you I do indeed know exactly what I’m talking about.

All people of intelligence.

People of intelligence.

It takes a special kind of idiot to make a claim, then in their refusal to support it, disdain the other person.

Where you posted it of course. 

Ok, so you can't as usual, got it.

I was pointing out your fake news where you pretended super billionaires aren’t all supporting the far right. 

Where? Which corporation on Wall street?

Hey you can stay safe in your fake news far right bubble. It will make the ‘I told you so’ that much more enjoyable.

Names are not going to save your weak arguments

Yes trump couldn’t do it in his term so Biden had to come in and fix it.

Yeah, but letting in 10 million illegals

That’s why illegal border crossings are lower than in trumps entire term.

And the sky is really a bowl of Cheerios. Lol

To have to be told to be kind is not as sign of a healthy society.

It's an advice specially for gaijins in Japan..
