  • As was exemplified in her summit with Lee and other leaders, Takaichi’s diplomatic style is to thrust her approachability to the forefront with frequent friendly gestures to try to forge close ties with her counterparts.

    But Japan’s first female prime minister has been accused of “excessive flattery” to many among her domestic audience who expect their leader, representing their country, to act more dignified.

    Some rebuke her for what appears to be playing the “woman card” to curry favor with powerful politicians, a tactic that they suspect she honed in Japan’s predominantly male political world.

    She’s nice and her country of chauvinists is big mad she isn’t dour.



  • The Guillemonts are old money French aristocrats who escaped the Revolution by being out of the country. They are collectively terrible to others and are deliberately trying to tank Ubisoft so they can buy it back and take it private. All those anti consumer business moves Ubisoft males are their best ideas at making money. Hopefully the loss of the savvy one brings them back to reality but history and experience shows they won’t.









  • Authorities in Japan have raided six of the country’s largest ice-cream firms for allegedly colluding to raise the price of their products, provoking anger from frozen snack aficionados as they face a cruel summer ahead.

    Officials from the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) on Tuesday carried out searches of the corporate headquarters of Akagi Nyugyo, Ezaki Glico, Lotte, Meiji, Morinaga Milk Industry and Morinaga & Co due to suspicions they had violated antimonopoly laws.

    Akagi Nyugyo was the ice cream company that publicly apologized for raising the price of their ice cream ¥10. Hopefully this humbles them again.
