I just read that, good grief. Thinking about the implications-- how many minders even are there? Will it cost you to have a govt killjoy tag along everywhere? Can you not come if there is no minder available? Why did anyone think this was a solution? I doubt the Tokyo area tourism related businesses would be able to survive merely on domestic level holiday makers. Well, there's another destination off the list until sanity returns (which, I know, may be never). I'm sure WEF is happy turning the whole planet into the North Korea experience.

If I was single I'd be asking 'is the minder a fit sexy university student looking to hook up with a westerner??? And does she share the hotel rooms with me??? And if I get bored with her am I able to select a replacement???'

FYI- here is an update for you:

It is August 2, 2022 and I know for a fact that a Canadian Citizen has been refused boarding from the Netherlands (KLM) unless he uses the ArriveCan App - paper copy is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

That front page of your passport is worthless.

The airline has been told that THEY will be fined $5000- for passengers not in compliance.

At some point people need to stop paying taxes. That is where things are going anyways with MMT. I plan on claiming inflation on my tax return this coming season as they devalued my savings by half roughly...

Under MMT, money loses its store of value and the only purpose of taxation is to reduce the money supply
