A Terrible System Called "Technical Trainees" in Japan

愛知県に本社がある電子部品メーカーの岐阜工場で、技能実習生のひとりがおそらくうつ病になり、帰国することになった。会社は何の補償も行わず、帰国費用は他の技能実習生の寄付でまかなおうとしているらしい。日本の恥。こんな会社に人間を雇用する資格はない。

I’ve read more books about the Vietnam War: “The Road Not Taken, (Max Boot)”  “Vietnam: A History (Stanley Karnow)” and “A Bright Shining Lie (Neil Sheehan)” and videos such as “Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War” and “Vietnam: A Television History.” None of them mentions any Japanese journalist, politician or diplomat. “A Bright Shining Lie” mentions “Akitane Kiuchi” and “Minoru Omori” only as interviewees, but they do not appear at all in the story. I remember little about the war but I know there was active movements against the war in Japan too. It seems they didn’t occupy any part of the worldwide anti-war movement and they meant nothing. I have to wonder then what impact, if at all, people like Kondo Koichi (近藤紘一) and Kaiko Takeshi (開高健) had on the trend of the war. Probably, nothing.

SHAME ON YOU, LESSIE. SHOW YOUR FACE TO THE WORLD AND REPENT AND ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR STUPID ACTIONS. YOU ARE NOT A HUMAN BEING, JUST SCUM. AND YOU ARE A FUGITIVE.
