Toyota City, Nagoya region, Japan, business sentiment under prime minister Abe- December 2014
12/11/2014
Views of auto parts manufacturer owners, a kimono shop owner, and a hotel manager, in Toyota City, about Abenomics. Unemployment has dropped to less than 3% in Toyota City and the city has benefitted from the increasing sales and profits at Toyota Motor. Support for the LDP in the snap parliamentary elections for December 2014, are mainly because the opposition DPJ Party has no alternative policies to offer to Abenomics for renewing the Japanese economy. In Toyota City the support is shifting from the DPJ to the LDP. The LDP expects to get 300 of 475 seats in parliament.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
