Wow...only a little off topic, huh?

The unemployment is hidden by needless hiring of labourers to replace/repair roads which don't need fixing... been going on over here for a while and is one of the reasons the economy is suffering because inflation can't be curbed

I also think there is a LOT more homelessness then people like to admit over here... I have seen loads in Yokohama!


As for being off topic... I tend to have that effect I'm afraid lol
