He seems to believe he won’t get drunk..... “That day was scary. In the dark, many faces were staring at us. It felt like each face was whispering something.” He hasn’t finished talking yet What is excessive fairness? fairness inequality not excessive He hasn’t finished talking yet with a glass of whiskey left over. He was a little drunk, but he has a serious look. That day he climbed a mountain with his companions. Due to various small troubles, the time to descend the mountain was delayed, and the team was rushing on the mountain road where dusk was approaching. The mountainous area where his team climbed was a popular place for mountaineering enthusiasts. Many mountaineers visited there and had a painful but enjoyable experience. However, there were times when the experience was never told. Some percentage of those who climbed the mountain did not descend. Moreover, some of the victims who could not descend are still undiscovered. The...

The Law That Fed the World—and Almost Broke It

And yet, even as tensions simmered, Julia’s message echoed: law remains humanity’s tool for justice only if its fairness is honored—and if its protections reach everyone, not just the powerful.… In the not-so-distant future of late 2025, the world had eyes fixed firmly on the waters of the Taiwan Strait. Nations large and small watched warily, not just because of military posturing, but because of the delicate web of law and legitimacy that underpinned peace itself. Amid this tension sat Julia Foster, a young legal scholar specializing in international law and conflict resolution. At a major U.N. conference in Geneva, she stood before a lecture hall packed with diplomats, academics, and journalists. “If we call a law bad because it serves only a privileged few,” she began, “then perhaps there is no such thing as a bad law—only incomplete ones.” Her statement was met at first with murmurs—but what she said next hit home. ⸻ L...

A Looming Crisis of Trust: Trump's Challenge to Economic Institutions

The answer, it seems, will shape the future of American economic policy and the public's trust in the numbers that guide it.…. The American economy, a complex and often contradictory machine, has always relied on the “fair and neutral” numbers provided by its statisticians. But what happens when those symbols of stability become a battleground for political will? This question was thrust into the spotlight on Friday, as President Donald Trump, already grappling with a market-shocking jobs report, took decisive action that rattled markets and raised profound concerns about the integrity of the nation’s economic data. The day began with a grim report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The U.S. economy had created only 73,000 jobs in July, a number far below expectations and the weakest monthly gain in over two years. More unsettling were the downward revisions for May and June, which collectively showed 258,000 fewer jobs h...

Redemption's Price

Only the reflection of the smiling toddler offered a glimmer of hope, a chance to build something new, this time on a foundation of honesty and fairness.... The man stared at his phone, the photo of a toddler with bright eyes and gap-toothed grin staring back at him. It was a constant reminder of the new life he’d built, a life cobbled together from the wreckage of his previous marriage. He’d remarried quickly, and his current wife, also divorced, brought a child into their union. Yet, the whispers followed him – rumors of violence, a reason for the abrupt end of his first marriage. Now, whispers weren’t the only thing swirling around him. News blared about a global minimum tax on corporations, a policy he supposedly supported. But the truth was murkier. He wasn’t just after corporate taxes; he yearned for a global minimum tax on individuals, specifically the super-rich. He saw it as a way to rectify the past, a way to ensure others wo...

Hey, after all, who ordered to launch a rubber bullet?

In the "Yellow vests" movement in France, there is data that at least 24 participants have been seriously injured from November 2018 Yes, I was walking on the road this morning and I could see the blue sky in the distance. I did not see the blue sky for more than a week. The blue sky may be a common sight for residents in areas with many sunny days, but I was a little strange to see the blue sky after a long time. Was the blue sky like that? No matter how deeply discussed, or how long it may be discussed, the fairness of the promises will not be discussed. 1 In the “Yellow vests” movement in France, there is data that at least 24 participants have been seriously injured from November 2018. 2 It is alarming that the diffusion of the visualized information may make the demonstration action its purpose. 3 Diffusion of images protest seems to be fair means purpose losses action discussion promises profit deal People talk as long as they h...

Why are things scored when they are evaluated?

Because the territory often sinks to the bottom of the river..... A river runs next to the path I always walk on. A lump of concrete is left in the river. I know that the concrete waste Why is the score adopted as an evaluation standard? river an old tale sinks waste left heavy rain I know that the concrete waste that greatly impedes the flow of the river is actually a fragment of a railroad pier. Decades ago, a small railroad was operating just to carry the soil used to reclaim the revetment located downstream of the river. Such a small event was not investigated by anyone and is now an old tale known only to some in the town. If the flow of the river rises due to a sudden heavy rain, the old tale will be submerged and disappear. They only show up when the rivers are low. Perhaps no one has guessed the ideal flow of this river. Even if the water level of the river rises or falls, the revetment will not be repaired unless some actual damage ...
