The problem is not that the Japanese don’t have money to fix the issues-that’s not it.
The problem is that the bureaucrats in the city office have no idea how to treat the problem that foreigners bring nor do they wish to.
Exactly!
Their idea is to complain and procrastinate whilst wringing their hands-pathetic!
Don't forget the teeth sucking while tilting the head to the side and sighing "muzukashii desu ne"

Netanyahu is under pressure from his political partners, on whom he relies to remain in power, to resume the war after the first phase.
Exactly. He has every reason to want to continue the war. He doesn't want a permanent ceasefire.

Problem in the short term is that some of Netanyahu cabinet threaten to leave if the war does not continue.
Exactly. He has no plans to end the war. If it winds down in Gaza, he'll escalate in the West Bank.

That is what they have been trying to do for a long time: manipulating the narrative and fabricating lies to justify their actions: illegally occupying Palestinian territory, breaking the ceasefire rules over and over again and continue with the mass killing of scores of innocent children and women in Gaza and Lebanon, like the UN has been saying for many months.
Exactly. but now, people are no longer getting fooled by their lies. They've been exposed

Nissan should not have any future. Nissan is the company which put its own foreign leader under bus, got him arrested. This company has no corporate governance. Nissan would not have been existing today if that leader was not there at that time.

I think it is an outgrowth for the human passion for hunting - snapping the camera at the perfect moment is analogical to pulling the trigger on a deer.
That's an interesting way of looking at it. Never thought about it like that.

I have a better idea.
Why don't the Israelis all move to the US where they can have "beautiful houses with sunshine" built for them?
Israel is just too dangerous for them to stay in. It's "all death" in Israel, and has been for many years. They'll be much, much happier in a beautiful place in the US.
Excellent idea.

I bet some Nissan people wish Ghosn was still running the company now, and maybe they wouldn't be in the situation they are now!
Exactly!
Ghosn was charged with underreporting his compensation
How do you "underreport" something that doesn't even exist?
Well that's the thing. He was apparently supposed to report a compensation he never received. THAT'S why the J gov didn't provide the Lebanese gov with the info they requested. They knew they would like complete fools.

Ever since I bought a hamster, I've warmed to all rodents. Please don't kill these gentle creatures. People don't realize this, but rats and mice are every bit as affectionate as dogs with their partners. They are really misunderstood creatures.
As for their populations getting out of control, the answer is simple- catch the rats in a humane way and separate them by sex. Colonies of strictly male or female rats won't breed, and they live relatively short lives anyway.
