Hate to speak ill on our president, but maybe not wise to publicize that movement of so much doller. You don’t know nair do well who might read this and try to stage a holdup. Just my two cents. Regards, -Jim | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Kind of oddly phrased, both in the title and the article. They're having a meeting and the US is giving Ukraine $225m in aid, but Biden probably isn't bringing the aid to the meeting.
It's late here. Maybe I'm just tired and this made sense to everyone but me. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

The Philippines has a funny way of upholding international law when they continually refuse to let the International Criminal Court into the country to investigate their crimes against humanity. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Like noone believes Marcos is a good guy here, but CCP occupied China has no legitimate claim to Philippine waters any more than they have a legitimate claim to Bhutan, Nepal, India, Tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Uyghurstan, Manchuria or China. Genocidal maniacs can go do one, and so can all their puppets pushing propaganda to enable more CCP orchestrated genocide. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
>Philippines Defies China's Might to Uphold International Law
This is the headline of your article. It says they are upholding international law. So where's the ICC investigation? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Imagine a system of laws where there can be more than one law... | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
And if they break one of the laws, they can no longer say they are upholding the law. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Now we're just getting into semantics... you can still uphold one international law even if you haven't upheld the other - just like how you can eat even if you don't finish your whole plate!
Whilst we're on the subject - I haven't seen a single article on the Philippines denying the ICC entry. I've only heard this from "a random person on the internet". I don't doubt it ofc - I've not seen it, but knowing what I do about Marcos and Duterte, it's entirely plausable because I don't defend them! But even still this has nothing to do with the Philippines territorial soveriegnty! Tell me - where is the proof that the Philippines rejected the ICC? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
There's a little headline in your bias | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
No matter how evil you are, a valid accusation is still valid. Besides, those waters belong to the people, not to Marcos. And give Xi an inch, Xi'll take a thousand miles. The entire region is threatened. From Japan to India. They're all arming against China. And the mamby-pamby response to the invasion of Ukraine is only encouraging Xi.
Btw, Marcos' dad would have the daughters of wealthy business men kidnapped and sexually abused to force them to hand over their componies to Marcos. Question: How far can an apple fall from the tree? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

This is on top of the planes they ordered in 2022. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
The price is determined by how many Lockheed produces (1500ish?!) in total, not the amount a single country orders. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I don't think that would meaningfully reduce the per unit cost.
It's true that with more F-35s built the unit cost goes down because the development cost gets spread out over the *total* number of F-35 built, but there have already been over 1000 built, so adding 8 isn't going to do much at this point. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Not really, they announced it in 1935 that thex were massively building up their military but no one did anything back then. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
If the air force is up against enough mass of ground forces, you can straight up attrite it that way.
Just look at what happened when some European NATO countries stepped in and started bombing in the Libyan civil war. France and the UK started running low on a lot of advanced ammunition very early.
Now imagine facing half a million to a million men large Russian army. Rather than limited bombing of high value targets in Libya.
Many European NATO countries, Germany especially among the large ones. Simply do not have supplies to actually fight any meaningful conflict. Can have all the fancy planes and ships you want, rather useless without ammunition. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Advanced air force? Germany has by far less air to air missiles than Russia has fighter aircraft. No level of advancement can do anything if you only fund your military to take part in parades. German ships have missile launchers but no reloads. Once they shoot the missiles that are in the tubes, they can just scuttle the ship. One German ship was just taken out of action by fighting Houthi drones. They fired all their rockets and now the ship can be brought to the scrapyard | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Sure, the same way the families of people who died from bacterial infections might have reacted when antibiotics were discovered.
Sure, you can sit there and begrudge the fact that other people will get these treatments because your relative didn’t get that treatment.
However, if you were in their shoes would you still begrudge that fact? Or, would you be glad for those people who possibly won’t have to suffer like you have? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Keytruda (the brand name) has been in use for a while, if you are among the lucky 12-15% of patients with microsatellite instability in the tumor cells. It basically means higher rates of mutation in cancer cells as they reproduce, which makes it easier for immune system to target them, with the help of the drug. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Part of the problem is that democratic countries can have a hard time getting through with big overhauls. The incentives is more to focus on short term solutions, especially if you're going to convince someone to vote for you in 4-6 again, you want to show results and big projects run again that. Also of note: not agreeing on what the problem is and/or solution should be. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
> Much of the working class in Western countries would kill to be in the position of the working and middle classes in Japan.
I fully agree, but not for the same reasons. I think they would becuase they don't fully understand, and are not fully aware, of the economic issues, work culture, and how it affects their lives outside of work.
> Housing is incredibly affordable in Japan, and while wages have been stagnant for a few decades, so has inflation (until recently, and even then, it's low compared to the West).
This is what you call a stagnant economy. In a captilistic system you must have some inflation to continue growth
and, i would say that housing outside of metropolotin areas are affordable, but job prospects there are not comparable to metro regions.
> Their purchasing power has frozen in place, which is bad, but it hasn't actively declined like it has in much of the West, where inflation has outpaced wage growth for years.
are you sure about that? Internally, all their products/services that are produced within the nation, i'm sure is affordable, but japan is an island and they rely heavily on trade. Veggies, dairy, and meats are very expensive.
> The West's economy may have "boomed" compared to Japan, but the Japanese working and middle class is in a much better position than they are in much of the West.
this is the same reason why boomers became wealthy. They invested when it was cheap, and sat on it. But that doesn't indicate a healthy economy, what it does highlight is that there is currency not in ciruculation but is still drawing interest, leading to those with wealth gaining more wealth while those that don't will find it harder to become financially stable.
This is why the birthrate has declined so bad. Young adults cannot afford place and cannot find time to socialize to connect with others.
> Europe's working age population is already declining, and their total population will start declining by the end of the decade even with immigration taken into account.
I think that Europe is in a much better state, because a lot of countries have a very healthy work/life balance, third places to socialize, better loan/mortgage systems, and a lot more subsidies. I think Germany, and the major economic countries (like france, spain, italy) is likely more akin to hte US while the other nations in the EU are more closer to the ideal of having a balanced society.
> It's a fate awaiting all developed countries eventually. I would argue that Japan has handled its demographic and economic problems of the last few decades better than almost any other country would in their situation.
as an american who lived in japan for 6 years, I tell everyone it's a great place to vist, but not to live. The people are great, lots of thing in their culture/society/infrastructure that is impressively better than the US, but just as many things that practicall invalidates the good parts.
as an american who is living in the EU (3 nations over 15 years), it is a lot better than the US overall.

Those 100sq ft micro apartments you see pictures of in Tokyo are often about $400-$500 a month.
Even the decently sized 500sq ft places are often about $1k-$1.5k. And that's 20mins to Shinjuku on the subway central Tokyo, not 90mins on an express train suburbs.
This [place is $1200/£1000](https://realestate.co.jp/en/rent/view/1117783), meanwhile [here's £1k/$1200](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fcsg6b63fmr4d1.jpeg) to live in a non-private living room with 2 cats in London. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
This isn't really the problem. A lot of people are having sex in Japan--esp with coworkers or via app dates. There's enough time and plenty of places to meet and have sex if they want to have sex. A lot of niche people and groups get overblown in the West for quick clickbait titles.
People are simply choosing to not have babies.
Babies are being seen as shackles.
What people don't have time for is living their lives while working. So many hobbies and the world are accessible now at least for viewing via social media.... a lot of people want to do all of those things and having kids will prevent that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Lowering costs is not a one button/app solution. A government can't just wave a magic wand and lower costs. Costs are in part due to how capitalism works and how much the modern comfortable life actually "costs" when it's not built upon the premise that a lot of the world isn't and can't live like that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Not only that... If you're a Japanese working woman ("salary girl" I think is/was the term) I think you're expected to quit and make your husband (and his household) your job.
For some reason, modern women find the loss of autonomy distasteful. Couple that with the guy being expected to:
* work 12 hour days (or more)
* leave work and "socialize" with male coworkers (often involving excess alcohol consumption) for hours.
The lady will hardly see her hubby... And when she does, he'll be either too drunk or exhausted to "perform." | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

I really wonder how the population problem can be solved. Regressing in rights is not desirable for the people, improving the social and cultural conditions comes at the expense of corporations losing productivity, paying a lot of money to parents still doesn’t help (or maybe we aren’t paying enough), so what will it be then?
Is it really going to come to this? (Though we’re still too far technically for this to be a concern at all) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
It's not that difficult though. Force men to take paternity leave and encourage a cultural shift to them actually parenting their children, guarantee parents' jobs once parental leave is up, ban firing parents without cause for two years after giving birth, make companies pay 3-5x as much as hourly for overtime. That's just off the top of my head. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

You may have forgotten a little event that lead to women entering the workforce: the end of the bubble. Trust me, a lot fo women would rather not work once they have children. You will hear many stories of women who find it sexist that their company ask them to leave when they have a child – and indeed it is – but many of them would GLADLY stop working or work with a lighter schedule if they financially could.

I just knew the dating app in question was going to be an in-house development by the government.
As a resident of Japan, I have the most unwanted privilege of having to interact with such government-developed websites and apps on a very regular basis.
If anyone *ever* deigns to use this ripe garbage, it will most assuredly *not* result in their increasing the birth rate.
Best case scenario, it's going to take three phone calls and a week of emails to figure out why you can't log in with your correct username and password, or your IC card, or via the convenience store interface, only to find out that somewhere along the chain your personal information had to be printed out on paper and manually typed in by some overworked and underpaid professionally incompetent intern at your local city office and they decided to spell your name differently than on the six different forms you were required to submit to opt-in to this service; and there's a seventh form no one ever told you about.
Worst case scenario, the app runs on a codebase and API from ten years ago and will *not* be updated, ever, so never does anything period, but still gets promoted as if it were until everyone collectively forgets this embarrassment and moves on with their lives, working 80 hours a week and doing nothing at home but sleeping and staring at their phones. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

It isn't cheap at all. It's literally the answer that's given every time Japan asks for international studies on how to boost their population. It's how every western country in the world boosts theirs, and creates complex, multicultural societies.
Japan, meanwhile, struggles with racism and xenophobia so deep that you'll see people stop and stare if they see a single black person.
Immigration is the answer. It's the only reasonable answer. It's known and accepted by every expert in the field. But both Japan and South Korea don't want to give up their monoculture. To face challenging outside ideas. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I am glad someone can do the math. It's just a fact, but when you mention this fact, most redditor don't like it. They will claim "Someone else will have 4 kids". Well there is just not many people out there who wants 4 kids. May be there are, but Japan is not very open for immigration and not many people in Japan have 4 kids. This is a fact. If your country wants to maintain similar population, every couple is obligated to have 2 kids as a responsibility. Or else, just accept the fact that the populate will go downhill.
If anyway downvote me, please provide math, how people can choose to have not have kids but the population don't decline, I am very interested in that math. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
