The private equity presidency is deeply unpopular, who'd have thought

like I could not believe for one second that a hateful piece of shit like him would not be the first in line to discriminate against anyone he perceived as different than what he was brainwashed into believing someone should be.

I don't think it's irrelevant. This is just further proof of the extent to which the prime minister has outdated values in a country that really needs a fresh perspective.

Glad to hear there is one more soul interested <3
I am considering putting together a methodology guide along with it. This was such a rabbit hole but it makes sense when you understand the principles behind why the companies hide their data in specific places hahaha

I think during Louis XVI it sucked ass for the same reason the White House does rn

I have a friend who already turned it on yesterday

no comment in this section was NOT unhinged

I also saw a comment saying that they'd rather 10 well behaved tourists than shop just a little than 100 who "just throw trash and don't buy anything". Logical thinking is not a feature of the 21st century. I understand now why my uni was offering courses in "logical thinking" to students.

If anything it might discourage those with lesser incomes from applying, meaning those from Africa or South-East Asia. Unless, that was actually the point. It's not as if the JICA protesters were screaming about not wanting "uncivilized" people from the "Middle East and Africa".

This is not an efficient way to collect "taxes" if the richest tourists don't even need to pay it. It will also not stop over tourism, if it's still comparatively cheaper to travel, sojourn and shop here.

They compare the Japanese application fee (3000 yen) with that of the US (250 dollars) (which is ridiculously expensive considering that the visa is not a guarantee to entering the country) and say they consider raising it.

What is hilarious is that most of the "foreigner" footage is of white people who would NOT be affected by an increase in visa application fees. It is also hilarious that the only measure they can take against us is rising the entry/exit fee which will also affect Japanese people
