**From Semafor's Marta Biino:**
Honduras announced new measures to tackle organized crime, including the building of a megaprison that could host up to 20,000 inmates, doubling the country’s current prison capacity.
The plan also includes holding mass trials and labeling gang members as terrorists. Honduras President Xiomara Castro placed the country in a state of emergency in December 2022, giving the government more power and suspending parts of the Constitution, in an effort to curb the gangs’ dominance over parts of the country, which has one of the highest murder rates in the world.

>Honduras declared a state of emergency in December 2022, suspending parts of the constitution as it sought to crack down on a rise in crime it attributed to gangs. Last year, **the country’s homicide rate stood at 34 per 100,000 inhabitants,** almost six times the global average.
By comparison, the homicide rate in the USA is 6.3 per 100,000 inhabitants; that's how bad it is in Honduras, and much of it is gang violence. They have to get these large groups of killers off the streets.

In my city, we spent some 10000€ to build some bathroom/showers for a Roma/Sinti camp. We also regularly pay their water and electricity bills.
It's doable because we are 120000 and they are about 200 so no big deal.
The bathrooms were built in particular because the nomads kept crapping in the bushes on the other side of the road. Even the kids. They crossed the road at night with the risk of gettin run over by cars.
The left wing mayor at the time, after a couple of years, pretty much ordered to raze that area to the ground (not the camp, he had all the trees and bushes cut down). Eventually, they finally started using the toilets as intended because they didn't want to crap in the open.
I'm just gonna say that in the american society, their very same lifestyle would probably get them starved to death or gunned down in a matter of years.
Long story short, it's not like in Europe we are all secret admirers of Hitler, it's just that we actually have tried to improve their moral and material condition through social and welfare programs, but they all have been a failure and trust me when I say that at this point even moderate people have given up on them. Nowadays, people view nomads as unenjoyable protected animals. They can be tolerated as long as they don't cross some boundaries and cause problems (which too many of them do anyway on a regular basis). | r/worldnews | In my city, we spent some 10000€ to build some bathroom/showers for a Roma/Sinti camp.

I can always tell it's you on the bad hot takes and looking for reasons to be outraged. But then I tagged you on my reddit browser a long time ago as a whiner. That helps too.
Flying to Lebanon is not necessarily negotiating directly with Hezbollah and almost certainly more about talking to a captured government that cannot even control it's own borders and whose only response to Iranian/Palestinian aggression is to make their terrorist occupiers part of the government.

As a Tokyo resident who spends time in both Japan and the US, that's not true at all. Weak yen != Inflation. Japan has had the least inflation of any G7 country, by far. Japan's inflation has been around 2-3%. US' inflation was around 9% at one point, and has consistently been much higher than 3% for the entirety of the last 3 years.
The lack of inflation in Japan is the REASON that the Yen is weakening. Japan has inflation under control, whereas every other developed country has high inflation. This causes the other countries to raise interest rates, whereas Japan doesn't need to (and doing so could cause them to dip back into deflation). Higher interest rates in other countries means capital flows into other currencies and away from the Yen.
Of course, this does cause a price increase on imported goods. But about 85% of Japan's economy is entirely domestically produced, so these price increases are not nearly as widespread as the inflation you see in the rest of the world. The big one for us obviously is energy prices, which are almost entirely imported. But trust me, Japan is doing far better than the US, Europe, Canada, and just about anywhere else in the world when it comes to inflation since COVID. | r/worldnews | As a Tokyo resident who spends time in both Japan and the US, that's not true at all.

You definitely can get a reasonable meal for 700 depending on what you define as "reasonable", but certainly what you'd get for 700 yen is generally more and better than what you'd get for $7.

You definitely can get a reasonable meal for 700 depending on what you define as "reasonable", but certainly what you'd get for 700 yen is generally more and better than what you'd get for $7.
Things have gone up, but overall I still spend less, and generally have had more usable income here than in the US even when the overall number is lower. I can't speak to jobs like ALT-ing though. | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
The entire Fund's budget is less than 6million usd for the entire world and most of that its own operations. A $24 increase on 450,000+ foreign tourists (attendance last year) nets an additional 10mil usd for the castle. Its a good approach. | r/worldnews | The entire Fund's budget is less than 6million usd for the entire world and most of that its own operations.

It's not much but Japan just has soooo much stuff to see so close together. If they raise their prices to be like western prices I expect that people would visit far fewer places.
I'd walk around an area and just pay the few yen and walk through everything I cake across. If I'm having to shell out $25 or so I would probably skip a lot of things. | r/worldnews | It's not much but Japan just has soooo much stuff to see so close together.

Like I said, I used what I remember from a superhotel, which was the cheapest option I can recall in Sendai. I also remember the cost for a private room in a shared dorm kinda thing, which was also about 9000¥ for a room in Osaka. A set meal at a modest curry place in Shibuya is 1100¥, and most are a little more than that.
For flights, I could go NYC -> LAX for maybe 350, which is higher than the Shinkansen from Tokyo -> Osaka, which I think was 1man ish each way for non reserved seat (again, not sure). So that’s at least comparable in some degree, but not across distances.
The kicker is that I work full time, in a position with the same responsibilities as previously, and I work far more hours here. Salaries are too low every way you slice it, and the only way life here makes sense is without comparing salaries abroad, and by ignoring and avoiding any kind of inflation. Even just in the last year I’ve noticed vending machines going up and up and up 10¥ at a time. It’s nuts. | r/worldnews | Like I said, I used what I remember from a superhotel, which was the cheapest option I can recall in Sendai.

I feel it was worth the few hundred yen, but I would not pay 20000 yen for it...or I might have and then regretted it.
Honestly the outside is more interesting than the castle itself. | r/worldnews | I feel it was worth the few hundred yen, but I would not pay 20000 yen for it...or I might have and then regretted it.

Yeah, doing it in a Japanese salary would not be easy. I hope the influx of foreign visitors makes up a bit for the high inflation so locals can at least profit off of it. But salaries definitely need an adjustment here (and everywhere for that matter) | r/worldnews | Yeah, doing it in a Japanese salary would not be easy.

That’s still too low! It should be $50, with a limited number sold every morning like the Statue of Liberty, no advance booking allowed. But you can spend $100 on a tour with local expert, with prior booking allowed. Most tourists would end up booking the tour, helping local employment, while a free motivated ones will line up early for the cheaper tickets. Locals can enter for free with ID, no ticket needed. | r/worldnews | That’s still too low!

>huge protests against the state of Israel over their war and policies
protests had nothing to do with any war related issues. it was about the proposed reforms to the judicial branch
>government to be even more repressive towards their own
what are you on about?if you're israeli, please clarify your claims
if you're not, you're a bit misinformed and need to read up on the state of the internal politics before Oct 7th. | r/worldnews | >huge protests against the state of Israel over their war and policies

because surprisingly, after the attack it allowed the Israeli government to stop the protests in their country and even more boost their nationalist feeling? We are not talking about a small demonstration, it was one of the biggest in the entire history of the country of Israel, and you cannot say otherwise. | r/worldnews | because surprisingly, after the attack it allowed the Israeli government to stop the protests in their country and even more boost their nationalist feeling?

They always have indicators and "less guarded" is vague. You can articulate it anyway you want.

The protests stopped for a time because most protestors decided crushing Hamas was more important than toppling Bibi, no other reason really. | r/worldnews | The protests stopped for a time because most protestors decided crushing Hamas was more important than toppling Bibi, no other reason really. | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Aren't there protests in Israel all the time right now? Doesn't seem like the government was able to stop them if that was their goal. Not to mention that the people have lost even more faith in the government as a consequence of Oct 7th. It doesn't make a lot of sense that Israel would allow this war to happen for the reasons you mentioned.

World will blame the Jews when it does. No matter what happened or who does it... the world will blame the Jews. Oh sorry, they will say Israel, cause that sounds less antisemetic. | r/worldnews | >Moral of the story? World don't care what will happen, and cry about it when it does.
