ou've gotta love economic meltdown Japanese style. Not only do you not have to work overtime (and if you're really lucky, not work at all) but the Government is now paying you ¥12,000 - close to 100 quid - just for being you. And that includes us foreigners too! (see here - Foreigners of Japan - Get your FREE MONEY!!!). This is called taking bold, urgent action on the economy. It is not a bribe to vote for the LDP, nor is it too little too late, or too much too soon. See, that 100 quid that could have been pooled together and targetted on, for example, a decent pizza restaurant in downtown Abiko, providing pizza for the homeless and jobs for the hungry, instead will have an amazing galvanising effect on the economy. Our Man is planning to galvanise the local economy tonight by blowing it all behind the bar. Don't thank Our Man, he's just doing his patriotic duty.Picture lifted from here.

Hello G-san. Our Man did his bit last night for King and Country, though which king and which country he can't be sure. How's the no-smoking going?
to be fair this is a much better way to brun money than the TARP or the various car maker bailouts
at least the public get a good piss up and not an airfield full of cars noone wants
The no-smoking thing is going ok so far. I still feel like I want to snack someone way too often. Some of the withdraw is finally over.
