Japanese Chatter

For those who didn't know....Japan is one of those countries who are firmly against migration INTO Japan.  It's also on a massive decline in population, and even more so in rural areas.  

So this came up in a meeting this week....they are going to create a special  Africa migration program....which has stringent rules.

There will be four zones....“hometowns”....for migrants from Nigeria, Tanzania, Ghana, and Mozambique. The Nigerians will be settled in Kisarazu.  The Tanzanians in Nagai.  The Ghanaians in Sanjo.  The Mozambicans in Imabari.

When you apply....there's two things you agree to....first, staying in the hometown area that your visa says, and working there in the rural area (mostly farming).

The Japanese aren't saying the time required....but I  would imagine a 10-year minimum, and a harsh integration schedule (learning the customs/language).   

How many will sign up?  Unknown.  

If  you fail?  I would imagine there's some quick deportation deal in the details.  

Just Three Odd Things

 First, since the 2024 election....I've seen this continual comment by Democrats in the US....that they want to seek their version of (1) Trump, (2) Joe Rogan, (3) Stephen Miller, (4) Tucker Carlson, (5) Dinesh D’Souza, (6) Greg Gutfeld, and so on.

So far, this search has not found such people. It may be a mythical creature search...like looking for Loch Nessie, a dragon, bigfoot, a banshee, or a Kraken.  Such liberal things...may not exist.

Second, I've spent an hour or two this past month trying to understand why private-equity should go out and buy tens of thousands of homes....to be a private home owner.

Other than thinking homes are at some magnificent LOW point at prices, and that they can control/manipulate loans for private people to buy such property.....there is no rhyme/reason for them to engage in home-buying.

It defies logic....from a point of investing money, and making money.

Third, as this audit goes out against the 55-million visa holders....I started to review the various ways that you might fail.

If you were hired and given a visa for X-company, and you were working a 2nd job (unrelated company)....you could be deported.

If you were engaged in any kind of criminal behavior....you could be deported.

Not informing U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of significant changes, such as a change in job duties or employer, can violate visa terms and lead to revocation/deportation.

Dropping below the normal college student  course load....could lead to deportation.

I have this odd feeling....out of the 55-million...I suspect that more than 10-million have a serious problem and this will lead to people working presently....to be deported....meaning x-number of companies are in some spiral because they have empty slots and presently no one to fill the job.   

I also think a portion of the 55-million...are listed as voters, and in some fraudulent way....over the past 20 years....voted.  That alone, will be enough to deport the folks.

Nine Observations

 1.  Bad leaders destroy companies, and organizations....sometimes, without much effort.

2.  This DC-National Guard thing.

Based on appearances, the Guard will be shut-down by end of September....with phase 2 in DC likely to be 300 fed-LE folks continuing evening and weekend patrol for the foreseeable future.

This chatter of Chicago next?  I would imagine the mayor is fretting heavily over this, and the the Guard will be carrying weapons...prepared to fire back.

But here's the funny thing....black folks in DC are watching this and mentally....saying Trump is right...you can stop the killing and crime.  Chicago black folks....will say the same thing.  

3.  This whole John Bolton-thing....is mostly about a guy who had a poor  sense about security and classifications....who wrote a lot of notes on yellow legal pads....never classifying the data as he wrote it.

So if they can establish a hundred of such citations.....of secret or above info....he's easily doing two-plus years of prison time.

4.  55-million visa-holders in the US will be audited.  There are a dozen possible ways that they will be put on a deport-list.  My belief?  At least 10 million will have problems and be forced to plan a quick and hasty exit.

My chief question out of this review?  How many of the 55-million were registered to vote?  I just have this bad feeling....more than 100,000 were voting somewhere.

5.  The most responsibility that I could assign Governor Newsom of California....is shift supervisor of a 7-11 store. Beyond that....he'd have to be supervised by someone.  

6. If you review all of the 1980s...finding the top 100 articles of 'DOOM'....comparing to reality in the years afterward....about 90-percent of the DOOM-crap wasn't really much on the scale of 'doom'.

7.  If you spent $120k to graduate from some college, and are marginally making just over $50k (before taxes)....the degree is probably worthless.

8.  I can stand about 10 seconds of a melt-down on CNN....before I mute it for 10 minutes.  

9.  When I'm presented a situation where I'm told one plus one can only be three...I react by considering the person in front of me....mentally defective. Lately, it seems like one out of eight folks I encounter are this way.
