Reference: Last year's lottery sales were 816 billion yen, 103% higher than the previous year. ⑥ Sales of sports lotteries (Toto) were 113.1 billion yen, 111% higher than the previous year. The highest ever. ⑦

According to the Leisure White Paper 2021 by the Japan Productivity Center, a public interest foundation, the market size of pachinko (total ball rental fees) fell from 20 trillion yen to 14.6 trillion yen, 73% lower than the previous year.

❖First of all, I was surprised that there are so many public gambling games. Because they are public, all the bookmakers are local governments. The local government's income will probably be around 25% of sales, so it will be a huge income. I think gambling is fun if you play it casually. However, if you get addicted, you will fall into the hell of addiction. You cannot get out of it alone. I guess more and more people are enjoying gambling on the internet at home while staying at home. What would happen if casinos were added to the mix?

★????There is a view that President Biden was the one who ignited the Ukraine war. "◆It was Biden who made the Ukrainian Constitution include "NATO membership" as a goal to strive for. Biden visited Ukraine six times during his term as vice president (January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017). On each visit, he was accompanied by his son Hunter Biden, who became a director of Burisma Holdings, Ukraine's largest natural gas company, in April 2014. The details of this are written on many websites, but the most useful is "Second son earns 5 million yen a month" - Why Biden and his son were able to extract extraordinary compensation from Ukraine, and how they also hindered the Abe administration's diplomacy with Russia, compiled by Professor Takeo Nagoshi of the Institute of Foreign Affairs, Takushoku University. This is a very well-written summary, so I highly recommend you read it. However, what is not written anywhere in these reports is that while Biden was serving as vice president, he manipulated President Poroshenko (June 7, 2014 - May 20, 2019), whom he could manipulate at will, to include in the Ukrainian Constitution a requirement to make NATO membership a best efforts requirement.

◇When thinking about things, rather than judging them based on the results, taking proper measures to address the root causes of the results is the key to preventing recurrence.

◆There is a concept of "300 accidents = near misses" in the way disasters are perceived. It is said that in the process of one serious accident, there are 29 minor injury accidents, and 300 "near misses that did not result in an accident, but there were some near misses." Therefore, in order to prevent serious accidents, even if there were 300 accidents, serious accidents will not disappear unless we properly improve this, even if it did not result in 300 accidents.

❖The information above is based on the view that Ukraine was not proactive in joining NATO in the first place. There is some truth to it. In addition, in the US midterm elections this fall, Biden's Democratic Party is said to be in a significant disadvantage. Considering all of this, one could say that Ukraine is being sacrificed for Biden and the United States. In other words, it is a proxy war between the United States and Russia. There is some truth to this. "300 accidents" I think that is diplomacy. The Ukraine war broke out because diplomacy was not functioning.
