What happens to all the random bicycles in Japan?

Japan Bicycle Graveyard

Ever wonder what happens to the bicycle that get impounded, stolen, or abandoned?

In Ichikawa-Shi (city), just outside Tokyo, you’ll find a huge lot filled with junkers next to the JR line. The biggest question, why?

The Most Controversial Fashion of the year

The Face Mask

This year’s most divisive and controversial article, the mask. Some governments have dictated its use by their citizens during the Wuhan Corona Virus (COVID-19) fears. Others have recommended. People have been shot, punched, and abused for not wearing one. Political extremists have debated its effectiveness. Gyms have asked fitness buffs to exercise with their faces covered. Four people in Japan have died from such asphyxiation.

You want to wear a mask? Wear it. You want to walk around normally?Skip the mask. There is no reason why people should forced others either way. Don’t let a debatably effective piece of material alienate you from other people.

Any more virtue signaling?

Three months of virtue signaling by various companies on various issues in the news… Rather than broadcasting their ‘good works’ or intensions, it would be nice if company leaders would shut up and just quietly do the right thing. The world might be better with fewer press releases and more action. 😉
