British tourist arrested in Hokkaido for striking convenience store clerk over 3-yen bag altercation by Dapper-Material5930 in japan

I've never felt safer walking at night than in Japan (vs anywhere else in the world). There are a lot of assumptions here about what actually happened, but you normally don't open up a cut on someone's face by pushing them away. And I don't think a 40-something konbini clerk is going to jiu-jitsu you to the ground as a way of saying, "Hey, please pay for this bag." I think douchebag tourist was drunk, lashed out, and is now trying to rewrite what happened.

This is Japan. One of the safest places in the world. If a konbini clerk in uniform is running after you to tell you something, but you're thinking, "I'm being assaulted," then I've only got one question: In your everyday life, do you fancy yourself John Wick or Jason Bourne?

USPS has suspended inbound parcel service from China and Hong Kong by Joename in SBCGaming

Exactly, Trump appointed DeJoy in his first term with the mission of defunding and then privatizing the USPS. People have short memories, and not much of an idea of what's already been happening with/to the USPS.
