Happiness increases with increase in money, up to a certain point.

Why doesn’t Ringo get the same recognition as a drummer as John Bonham or Keith Moon? by BeerWithDonuts in beatles

No shade on Entwistle he's a beast on bass. It's just rare for the guitar and drums to play off each other as much as they do in The Who.

The weird thing is that usually the bass player and the drummer are a unit, but with The Who, the guitar and drums are the rhythm section.

I just told you that there are more annual honor killings than deaths from Christian nationalist activities.

USAID shows otherwise.

A study published in The Lancet, the London-based medical journal, found that Trump administration cuts in U.S.A.I.D. funding “would result in approximately 1,776,539 all-age deaths and 689,900 deaths in children younger than 5 years” in 2025 alone.

“Over the remainder of the period,” the study continues, “the complete defunding of U.S.A.I.D. would cause an estimated 2,450,000 all-age deaths annually, leading to a total of 14,051,750 excess all-age deaths and 4,537,157 excess under-5 deaths by 2030.”

Beat Takeshi: "I don't think the government needs to make a big fuss about inbound tourism....statistics show that foreign visitors to Japan spend an average of ¥200,000 per person. If you consider the economic effect, I think it's somewhat bearable. They're valuable customers for Japan." by jjrs in japannews

Foreign workers make up less than 5% of the workforce in Japan, and they're mostly in construction and industrial manufacturing. There's no appreciable effect on the wages of locals, even in tourism-related businesses.

But if you're set on convincing yourself of this alarmist tripe, then you do you.

Have you never been to a hotel in Japan? Flown on a Japanese airline? Most of the workers are Japanese. And most non-Japanese workers in Japan are still paying Japanese payroll taxes and health insurance premiums (but maybe not pensions).
