What are his family's priorities when they say they want to take a vacation during a pandemic? Wouldn't they have to self-isolate at their destination and when they come back?

Didn't the whole American boy group fad disappear by early 2000s? There hasn't been a boy group in America since the time of Backstreet Boys, N*Sync, 98 Degrees, etc.

Bitcoins are finite. Only 21 million will ever be produced. Will they continue to hold value once they're all mined out by around 2140?

Accepting payment in bitcoin is very different from pricing in bitcoin.

Why not set the price of a Tesla 3 to 1 BTC?

Probably because Musk knows the whole thing can collapse in a heartbeat and become worthless.

The fact that Tesla continues to set the price in USD shows that he actually doesn't trust the value of BTC, in fact he seems to like Dogecoin more.

Why would he price it in BTC when the price of BTC fluctuates based on people buying and selling it? Listing in USD and getting charged the equivalent amount of BTC makes more sense than paying a flat BTC cost because BTC does not have intrinsic value backed by precious metals like normal currencies.

Japan should blow out of the water any Chinese vessels illegally in Japanese territory and see how they like it.

I wounder if he will loosen his grip, or sanctions on Cuba? or will this be another firm NO? does there still need to be heavy sanctions on Cuba?

Possibly since that's what Obama did.

But as far as Iran is concerned, Biden is right to call them out and tell them to resume compliance before lifting sanctions. Biden has no reason to lift sanctions first.

Shocking. Who would have guessed nonregular workers would get shafted like this. I can't believe it.

Incredibly good. Means not many people have the symptoms.

This ignores the fact that people without symptoms can still spread the disease.

Can't stop. Won't stop. Gamestop.

Only 1 shot as opposed to firing all 5-6 rounds and most missing the mark? Color me shocked.

So the strategy is to test even less... which will undoubtedly cause infections to increase because asymptomatic people will be spreading it because they aren't tested because they're testing less... repeat loop.

But in 2 months they might do random testing to see how widespread infections are, so there's that at least.

What's that saying...something about closing the barn door after the horse has bolted?

I think calling the police for this was an overreaction.

Wouldn't call the amphitheater a comedy club when it's an amphitheater.

Don't tell Trump.

Hardline? Maybe they forgot about what he did for ZTE only to kind of change his stance with Huawei.

Increase patrols in the water and board any boats that come into the territory. China isn't going to listen otherwise.

Why weren't tear gas and rubber bullets deployed in the capitol when it was being stormed? Often times peaceful protests escalated because police used force.

Trump "has held over 600 rallies in the last four years. None of them included assaulting police, destroying businesses or burning down cities,” Greene said.

Blue Lives Matter...until they don't, apparently.

Why didn't the capitol police use more force against the people storming the building? Isn't police use of force what started BLM?

Less than a day spent storming the capitol resulted in 5 deaths.

Weeks of protest and "rioting" over the summer resulted in how many deaths?

So Xi is trying to hold Starbucks at gunpoint. Help US-China relations or face boycott in China.

Japantoday's ToS allows moderators to remove or edit posts by users and/or ban users if they violate the ToS. Are you saying they shouldn't be allowed to do this? How is this different from Twitter, Facebook, etc.?

I take it you’re attempting to refer to Kyle Rittenhouse from Illinois (not Indiana) who was confronted, chased and then attacked by 3 rioters, who he shot, clearly seen on cell phone camera footage taken by onlookers ?

Would you happen to know why he was there with a loaded weapon when he could have chosen to stay home?

The majority of cases in my prefecture are people above 50, which should be the at-risk group, but the majority of them recover. It seems like most of the deaths are people with pre-existing conditions.

Elderly man with pre-existing condition died in Tokyo because he wasn't hospitalized.

Maybe read the ToS first?

If Trump makes his own platform, I hope he calls it Trumpet.

The airlines are right to guard against liability.

Maybe these people should return to their roots and soapbox on street corners to anyone willing to listen.

Does the court have the ability to tell another country not under their jurisdiction to do something?
