1. As is already been feared and predicted, the moment the second State of Emergency, explosive increases in cases came back, and now, situation is much worse than the State of Emergency period.
Once I imagined that Panjandrums wouldn't announce third State of Emergency obstinately -at least in Capital Area, for the sake of upcoming Olympic game they want to bulldoze at the cost of not only our nation but also the world, but it turned out to be wrong. Until this week,instead of State of Emergency, a regulation is induced that enables each local government to reinforce infection control measures even without State of Emergency. One of the things local governments can order is regulations on restaurants and eating houses, such as closing at eight at night. In some cities, city officials work their beat watching restaurants -What do they expect by doing OfficialSelf-restraint police? I'm afraid thattheir current infection control measures and third State of Emergency just increase missions of Police-wannabes and streetdrinkers again. If they control restaurants so strictly, they have more targets else to regulate, don't they?
Employers and bosses who force employees to come to workplace even though work-from-home is possible, merely in order to keep their subordinates and workers under control or because they cannot feel that they are working unless they come to their office,
Idiots who bully infected people and their families and medical workers, And people who have parties, justifying themselves that those parties are not non-essential -especially politicians and the government bureaucracies, ...the list will be a mile long.
Restaurants where they held massive parties at? If they forced those restaurants to arrange parties for them, those restaurants are victims, and it's wrong to accuse them. Incidentally...As for the Prefecture hosting upcoming Exposition, I cannot help feeling how utter chutzpah of the Governor to force heavier burdens on residents now, after non-essential Metropolis Plan referendum and delayed and delayed vaccine development.
2.Needless to say,in our state,not only smoking and drinking but also purchasing tobacco and alcohol drinks is illegal for minors under twenty years old, even on errands. At the same time, vending machines selling tobacco and alcohol drinks are everywhere. So a law was prepared for identification card system for cigarette vending machine. However, so far, I haven't seen identification card system for liquor vending machine -Although there are liquor vending machines with age-verification equipment asking purchasers to scan their driver's license. If drinking under age is long-term social problem, identification card system for liquor vending machine is necessary, too.
The matter would be simple; They can share identification cards for cigarette vending machine. -No, no.We must not sell tobacco and liquor on vending machines. Those harmful luxuries must be sold only in-store, asking purchasers to prove their age with identifications. Superfluously...Not only in our state but also all over the world, tobacco is supposed to be mainly MEN's luxuries. In our state, it took only half year to approve identification card system for cigarette vending machine. On the other hand, it took decades to approve oral contraceptive pill as therapeutics for women. This is due to moss-headed men's theory that if such drug is approved, women obtain right of self-determination on sex and they bring sex distraction
. This is too well-known story which shows how our state is sexists' heaven ruled by men who assume that women are men's servants and playthings subordinating men.
If sex distraction has been brought, it's by sex pests men who cling to fossil theory that lecherous is men's privilege. -However, if my memory serves me right, when cervical cancer vaccine was approved, I didn't hear controversies about sex distraction.
After consumption tax was raised in 2014, price display was the base price plus tax. From this April, displaying tax-inclusive price is required. On the whole, consumers welcome this change because it's easier to see how much they are paying. But some retailers concern that customers take this change as price raise and sales declines. I feel that conventional price display showing base price and tax had been rather cheating. I think that the best price display is to place both base price and tax-including price.
When I talked about it to Husband, he said that they should display the amount of tax as well so that we are aware how much consumption tax we are paying and exploited in daily purchase.
Whatever...Panjandrums and economic authorities insist that economy fails unless people spend money. If so, instead of deceiving general public by myopic cheating,
they must abolish consumption tax first of all.
