Once I had a quite cold attitude to Nagasaki’s Atomic Bomb Victims Memorial Peace Prayer Ceremony, I was like “here comes another Peace rally LMFAO”. But just look at this, the ambassador of Israel attacked Nagasaki’s mayor fiercely saying “The mayor took over the ceremony for his ideology”, a bigwig at the Simon Wiesenthal Center said “the Nagasaki’s atomic bomb ended World War 2” and now he’s criticizing the non-invitation of Israel’s rep to the ceremony as “unethical”, and top of that, the ambassador of the US, the one who dropped the atomic bomb, is talking nonsense, saying “if Israel don’t join we also don’t join lol.” With hearing all these I’m so surprised of finding myself very much pissed off…are you all making light off victims of such a cruel weapon you sons of bitch?
If you want to beat up the mayor of Nagasaki, it's fine to criticize the Shinkansen project in Kyushu area, corruption, welfare arrangement, or other issues (*This is just an example of some topics, I'm not claiming that I’m actually frustrated by any of these). But don’t these morons know that the Nagasaki’s peace ceremony is essentially a memorial ceremony? No one is crazy enough to start screaming in memorial service about his relatives whom he doesn’t like. If someone was yelling, ”Why didn't you invite me to the memorial service!!”, Its clear in everyone’s mind saying, ”It's because you behave that way..” … If you claim yourself as a grown-up, “it was really a shame, lets talk it over and get things straight” should be your response. Does Gillard Cohen realize that he is making a personal attack on someone who in Western terms would be the director of the Auschwitz museum?
(as a side note, I am fed up also to the vulgar accusation by the Palestinian Ambassador when Hiroshima City invited the Israel rep to their ceremony. Please go ahead and be aggressive in UN conferences, but again is that a proper behavior in connection with the memorial ceremony?)
I haven’t say enough to the reaction of reps of Western countries to Nagasaki. Why don’t you think twice before reacting impulsively? No doubt Japan is one of the most pro-Western countries in Asia, they support Ukraine most earnestly among Non-NATO countries. Still even quiet and shy Japanese people is totally put off by military operations of Israel. It is too easy to imagine how Israel is hated in non-pro-Western countries. When will you have an imagination to realize your such attitude making many countries having distance from Ukraine. If western countries close their eyes to horrors in Gaza and be determined to defend Israel anyway, why aren’t others allowed to keep their relationship with Russia even after devastating scenes in Bucha?
(btw I was so impressed when Zelenskyy expressed his support to Israel, are you serious? Don't you think of a scenario where Ukrainian militias rise up in Donetsk or in Luhansk, resulting in heavy casualties among Russian settlers, leading to Russia denouncing this as a despicable terrorist attack targeting Russian civilians? That's exactly what's happening in Palestine.)
Anyway you morons should come to your senses, and admit Israel’s outrageous actions are no difference from that of Russia. And know that calling the criticism to Israel as “antisemitism” is making you look so smart. Refusing Neo-Nazism ain’t discrimination to Germans, doxing Zaitokukai (*a nationalist group which calls for an end to state welfare and alleged privileges afforded to Koreans in Japan) ain’t Japanese-hate, and impeachment against Zionists ain’t anti-Jewish either.

ゼロ金利になったら量的緩和しても豚積みになるだけで何の効果もないってのが反リフレ派の主張だったけど、学術的論文では量的緩和で長期金利引下げ効果があったというものの方が多くないか？論文になるのはアメリカのケースが多いからどうしてもFEDの量的緩和政策の話になるけどStock御大らなんかまでが効果あったという論文を出している。
https://www.nber.org/papers/w26002
量的緩和に意味があったとしてその先への波及が弱かったといった議論はできると思うけど、論文っていう学術のリングでやったらまず最初にごめんなさいをするのは豚積みだとかの金融政策無意味論を言っていた反リフレ派の方だよ。それにブランシャールが今3%の目標インフレを言っていたりするように、リフレ派の一丁目一番地、かつてインタゲ派と呼ばれていた頃からの主張である(高い)インフレ目標の価値は学術的にも認められているんじゃないかな。量の効果にしてもそれがあるのはもう当然として扱って、FEDの利上げが思ったほど効いていない理由として挙げる論文も出ているな。
1989年12月29日、日経平均株価は38,915円87銭（ちなみに翌日のザラ場では38,957円44銭というのがありました。）
その日のPERは予想で61倍でした。益回りにすると1.64％。これに対して同じ日の10年国債利回りは5.616％。1989年12月のCPIは2.6％ですから仮に予想インフレ率も同じくらいとすると実質金利は3％。今より潜在成長率が高かったとはいえ元本保証の国債利回りより値下がりリスクのある株式の益回りの方が低いなんて異常でしょう。直近のブレークイーブン・インフレ率はだいたい1.5％なので、実質金利がマイナス0.5％から3％まであがるとすると名目金利は4.5％になります。今、10年債が4.5％になって、日経平均がPER60倍＝148,000円まであがりますか？そんなシナリオを口にしたら頭おかしいと言われるでしょう。でも当時は経済学者や証券会社の社長からNTT株に殺到した庶民まで、誰も気にしていませんでした。
なお予想益回りが当時の長期実質金利と同じ3％になるとPERは33倍、仮にスプレッドを現在Fedが過去30年のS＆P500の予想益回りと10年実質金利の平均とする470ベーシス取ると（今の日本では小さすぎるけど、当時の潜在成長率を考えればまあそんなものでしょう）益回り7.7％、PERは13倍です。当時、私は業界の名もなき先輩の示唆と大学のマクロ経済学の授業で習った流動性選好理論のアナロジーから株式益回りと長期金利のイールドスプレッドについて考え始めていました（これがDCF法と同じ発想で、Fedのバリュエーションにも使われていると知ったのはずっと後になってからのことです。）。そのロジックによると株価は8300円、5分の1ぐらいになるはずです。でも24歳、社会人2年目の私はバブルに煽られ、理論的に突き詰めて考える姿勢にも欠け、異常なバリュエーションを異常と思いませんでした。翌年の大発会から株価はまさに「フェアバリュー」（！）にむかって真っ逆さまに転がり落ちていきます。
もっとも当時は「バリュエーション」なんて考えている余裕がなかった。マーケットもメチャクチャなら、売ってる人も売らせている人もメチャクチャでした。朝6時に独身寮に流れるラジオ体操で叩き起こされて7時に出社、タバコの煙で株価のボードもかすむオフィスで1時間毎に怒号とともに予算（ノルマ）の達成をチェックされる。セクハラだのパワハラだの概念自体が存在しておらず、予算未達のセールスは椅子を取り上げられたあげく、受話器をテープでぐるぐる巻きに手に縛り付けられた状態で電話させられて、集計後に上司に殴られていました。配属された早々客に「週末俺の別荘に来い」と言われた女性（1989年は私の会社で初めて営業店舗に女性が配属されました。）は営業課長に「てめえなんで行かねえんだよ」と怒鳴りつけられていました。
多くのセールスは外回りに行けば客に名刺をビリビリに破かれたり、水を引っかけられたりしていました。でもこちらも数字ができなければ勝手に客の名前で注文を出していたのだから（いわゆる「ダマテン」。会社にはさまざまな苗字の三文判が常備されていました。私はしてなかったけど、研修中で店を離れていた間に営業課長に虎の子の客でやられました。）、そのぐらい当然でしょう。1989年、私の勤務先ともう一つの大きな証券会社が全セールスに号令をかけて売らせていた東急電鉄株。稲川会の会長に17億円も儲けさせるためだったなんてバブルが崩壊して社長が国会に呼ばれるまで知りませんでした。もっともそれを知っても驚きませんでしたけどね。
連日へとへとになって会社を出るのは夜中の12時過ぎ。丘の上にあった独身寮の窓から、その年に開業したみなとみらいの観覧車のライトを眺めて「こんな生活いつまで続くのかな」と思っていました。4年弱の在籍中に死んだ先輩も2人知っています。大学アメフト部出身の偉丈夫だったKさんは寮のベッドで朝起きてきませんでした。Iさんは倒れて、亡くなったのが私が辞めた直後でしたので詳細は知りません。まだみんな20代だったのに。
よくあんな生活送ってましたよ。毎日毎日、生きていくだけで精一杯でした。健康を害さず、精神も病まず、犯罪で後ろに手が回ることもなく転職できただけでもよかったのかも知れません。
今日の日経平均株価は終値で39,098円68銭。34年2ヶ月前を少しだけ超えました。でも今は投資家も、株を売らせている人も、売っている人も、人格、経済に関する識見、人権意識、モラル、マナー、当時を知る者からするとすべてにおいて比較することすらおこがましいほど優秀です。
株価はとても大事な経済指標です。上がるに越したことはない。でも上がれば何をしてもよい、数字さえよければ中身はどうでもよいというものでは決してない。バブル崩壊以後、日本の株はダメだダメだと言われ続けてきました。今日ようやく失われた30年が終わった、34年前に戻ったと解説する人もいます。でも私はそうは思わない。株式市場に携わる人々は、この間に達成した株価に反映されることのない成果を誇ってよい。心からそう思います。
一旦行き過ぎてそこらへんに戻るという予想
（130円台、去年初旬の専門家の予想は適正130円台だった）
ただ現状金利差狙いのロンガーはアマプロ限らず大量に居るはずで
もちろんfed次第だけど
今後出てくるネタはすべて「利下げ」なことを考えると
予想外があるとすればリセッション完全回避や、それに伴うインフレ再燃で
その話がfedから出た場合は即逃げる必要がある、160円も視野に入ってきてしまう
前提：
・米利上げは年内終了がほぼ確実
・日銀の利上げ等（YCC解除含む）は来年までにあるのがほぼ確実
・現状のドル円が買われすぎ、円は売られすぎ
今後2年で110円〜135円あたりまでの落下が見込まれる、150円台がピークになりそう
問題は、いつ、どこか？
一説によるとヘッジファンドがかなり過剰に売ってるらしい
パレスチナ問題だが、今のところ影響は限定的（イランが参戦しない限り）
ただし足元の不安定な状況で著名投資家が「5％は高すぎる」と言っている（一昨日の暴落につながる）
大手の予想：
どこも「年内152円、ピークは年明け155円」と予想している
ただ、GSは同時に「4Qに米国債金利はピーク」と予想している
チャートの状況：
予想（金融）：
ドルのピークは12月のFOMC前後だと思っている、12月の利上げは無いと思われるがそれまで利上げ煽りはする流れ
これは市場もほぼ織り込んでいて、12月下旬のクリスマス前後か、年明けに一気にドル売りが入ると思う（適正水準まで落ちるだけ、今は買われすぎ）
読めないのは日銀で、10月末、12月、1月31日、3月28日のどこかで利上げ方向のネタを出すと思うがタイミングは測れないし、引き伸ばすほどに円は売られる
様々な意見を聞くと、Youtubeなどの有名個人投資家は10月期待をしているようだが、専門家は10月とは見ていない様子
（個人的には、本命12月、それがなければ1月か3月、大穴で10月）
地政学リスクに関しては、パレスチナ問題は「地上戦は1〜3ヶ月」と言われているので年明け辺りまでは動かないのではと思う、地上戦なしに停戦するかとも思ったがアメリカが否定してるのでいつかやるんだろう（おそらく空母待ち）
人質がいるぶん長引く可能性があるが、問題は市場がどの時点で平時に戻るかだ、ウクライナ戦争でも小麦価格は既に戻っている
予想（テクニカル）：
151.9円に心理的なラインが有りここをどう処理するかはチャート職人次第だ
個人的には150円でここまで粘るとは思わなかったが、過去の経験上このペナントで抜けないとは思えない
（が、10月末まで150円攻防をするなら一応日銀次第であり、今後1年のピークが今である可能性も一応ある、まあ多分日銀現状維持を見て151円だろう）
牽引していた米国債金利が10年5％到達したのにまだ150円抜けていないことを考えると相当重たいのは確かであり、155円は遠いのではないか
なお月足ボリバンがそろそろ狭くなってくるので、153円より上はバンドウォークするくらいの上昇圧力が必要になる
予想（仕掛け、介入）：
こういう相場で怖いのは仕掛けと介入だ
前回は152円まで一気に上がってその後急落した、最大5円くらいはバイクラがあり得ると思ったほうが安全
介入はあくまで急激な変化で行われるものなので、この低速チャートではできないと思う
ただし口先介入はしまくってるので、完全に無視もできないという状況が続く
＿＿＿＿
「来春の賃上げが十分だと思える情報やデータが年末までに揃うことも可能性としてはゼロではない」
うーん
9月段階で「物価目標の持続的安定的な実現が見通せる状況に至っていない」なんだよね
いつ見通せるのか
最近はfedみたいに利上げ遅れるのでは？みたいに言う人も出てきたよね
てかYCC修正程度で円高くるか？というのも疑問だ、2か月前に一回やっても今150円なわけで（その代わりに変化は緩やかだけど、あとどちらかというと今はドル高か）
うわかっこいいw
「ハイファンタジーでは見慣れた創作ではないこと」って最初から書いてあるのにあっさいやつやなあ
Is that all you've got to say? "wdk fed up with u bro"
I'm pretty sure you are fed up with me lol
You didn't even read the English entry and hopped on to the Japanese page.
The other day, this guy preached me how I don't know US toilets are, because they "traveled" the states.
It's beyond me and pretty entertaining tbh
Brah
免責：私の生涯収支はマイナス
結論：ドル円ショート、11月か12月くらいに。ただし10月にショートは禁止。
・2023年末までにもう一回利上げを行う（確実）
・2024年に1,2回の利下げを行う（ほぼ確実）
・現状めちゃくちゃドル高
円の動きもドル円に引っ張られそうだし
・現状横、ドルが利下げすれば上昇が見込めるので最高値更新も見える
・現状最大限円安
・12月、4月、秋あたりに、賃上げの上昇を見てゼロ金利解除と利上げを検討するみたいな話があった
・条件を開示していないが、これは円安懸念によるものと思われる（政府からの要望？）
→ 個人的には円安もあるのでやらざるを得ないと思う、米国利上げの翌年に日本が利上げをするのは過去の流れでも同様だった
・ゼロ金利解除、利上げをしたら期待感から10円、20円のインパクトがあると予想される
・150円台あたりで日銀介入の可能性があるが、「介入期待」と「介入期待狩り」などの思惑でおかしな動きをする可能性が高い
・ドル円が下がれば当然落ちる
・ダウに釣られて上がる可能性がある
・結果、フラフラしそう
・連続で利上げをしてきたが、ここへ来て据え置きになりつつある
・インフレ退治は米国ほど上手くいっていないため利下げしづらそうだが、方針の違いもあるため難しい
→ 例えばFRBは絶対にインフレ退治するマンになってるが、カナダなどはもう利上げをやめている
・なので正直読めない（言語的な壁もある）が、2024年末あたりからはユーロポンド高ドル安になっていくのかなと思う
・対円は非常に難しい動きをすると思う
・正直分からない、今は三角収束しているが、ここ１年位のゴールドの動きは非常にフラフラしている
・当然わからない
次の1,2年、材料が多少増えようが減ろうが、ドル円が下がるのは確実と言っていい
問題は「ピークはいつ、どこらへんか」と「マイナススワップをどうするか」となるので
具体的には160円を少し超えても耐えられるレバレッジで、あとは可能ならスワップの付かない方法でが良い

そういえばアメリカの即時送金システム「fed now」が4日前にリリースされていたけど、twitterはこれを上手に生かしてアメリカで個人間送金アプリとして一発逆転したりするか。ついでにstripe treasuryみたいなbanking as a serviceを使って銀行機能(預金、ATM引き出し、デビットカード等)も実装するとか?LBO時の負債が凄いと思うので、上手にユーザーの現金を滞留させるようなイメージはあるような気はする。
それらの機能はsquare,venmo,zelleもどこかのタイミングで近い機能を実装すると思われるが、facebook messngerの送金サービスが人気ないときに、SNS機能が強いアプリが送金サービスでも強くなると何か面白いこと起きるかもしれない。
また、インドのUPIとシンガポールのpaynowの 即時国際送金システム連携 みたいな波に乗って、一気にグローバルな国際個人間送金アプリも目指したら面白いと思う。facebookのリブラ構想もどきのシニョレッジビジネスに発展するかもしれない。
soundcloud再買収交渉は無いと思うが、tiktokがspotifyもどきを作る可能性があるときに、音楽分野で何かするだろうか(アメリカ限定でpandora買収もあり得る?)
「twitter」では国際的な普及の限界が見えてきたときに、「x」で何か新しいことをする予感を醸し出すことで、これまで浸透できなかった国や地域で大量のユーザー獲得ができる可能性はあると思う。「twitter」のヘビーユーザー国・日本に対しては、x japanとのコラボみたいなことをしていればいろいろ誤魔化せるみたいな判断もありそう。
Please improve the following novel to be more engaging and adding plot point of Yasuke returnig to being a missionary quitting Samurai " rologue:
The sun sank behind the horizon, casting the Japanese countryside in a warm, golden glow. In the courtyard of Nobunaga's castle knelt Yasuke, a tall, muscular African man with skin as dark as midnight. His journey to this moment had been long and treacherous, but it was only the beginning.
Chapter 1: A World Away
Yasuke lived an ordinary life in a small village on the Mozambique coast, unaware of the extraordinary destiny that awaited him. Captured by slave traders and torn from his homeland, he endured a grueling voyage across the Indian Ocean, finally arriving in the bustling port of Goa, India.
It was there that Yasuke's fate took an unexpected turn when he was purchased by Jesuit missionaries. In their service, he learned about Christianity, new languages, and the ways of the Western world. But his journey was far from over.
Chapter 2: The Land of the Rising Sun
As a loyal servant to the missionaries, Yasuke accompanied them on their journey to Japan, a land of mystique and intrigue. The beauty of the land, the complexity of its customs, and the elegance of its people captivated him. As the first African to set foot in Japan, he attracted attention and curiosity from all those who encountered him.
Chapter 3: The Encounter
In Kyoto, the capital of feudal Japan, Yasuke's life changed forever when he met Oda Nobunaga, one of the most powerful and influential daimyos of the time. Nobunaga was captivated by the African's physical prowess, intelligence, and unique background. Seeing potential in Yasuke, Nobunaga decided to take him into his service as a samurai.
Chapter 4: The Path of the Warrior
Yasuke's transformation from a slave to a samurai was fraught with challenges. He had to adapt to the rigorous training, strict code of honor, and the intricacies of Japanese society. But Yasuke's strength, resilience, and determination allowed him to excel, earning the respect of his fellow samurai and the trust of Nobunaga.
Chapter 5: The Unfolding War
As Nobunaga sought to unify Japan under his rule, Yasuke fought by his side in numerous battles. The African samurai's legend grew with each victory, as did his bond with Nobunaga. Together, they faced both triumph and tragedy, navigating the treacherous landscape of alliances and betrayals that defined the era.
Chapter 6: The Turning Tide
Yasuke's reputation as a skilled and loyal samurai grew, as did his bond with Lord Nobunaga. But in the shadows, the tides of change were brewing. Mitsuhide Akechi, once a loyal ally, had grown disillusioned with Nobunaga's rule. The resentment smoldered within him, fueled by a series of perceived slights and political maneuverings. Mitsuhide's ambition and desire for power began to cloud his judgment.
Yasuke sensed the shift in Mitsuhide's demeanor and grew increasingly wary of the samurai lord. However, loyalty to Nobunaga prevented him from openly voicing his concerns. He instead focused on his duties, ever vigilant and ready to protect his lord at a moment's notice.
One fateful evening, the Oda clan gathered to celebrate their recent victories. Unbeknownst to the revelers, Mitsuhide Akechi's treacherous plan was already in motion.
As the sun rose, the first cries of battle rang out. Mitsuhide's forces had launched a surprise attack on Nobunaga's residence at the Honno-ji Temple. Yasuke fought his way to Nobunaga's side, his sword cutting through the trait "
Prologue:
The sun dipped below the horizon, bathing the Japanese countryside in a warm, amber embrace. Yasuke, a towering, powerfully built African man with skin as dark as midnight, knelt in the courtyard of Nobunaga's castle, his heart thundering with anticipation. A perilous journey had brought him to this moment, and yet, it was only the beginning of a story that would span continents and rewrite history.
Chapter 1: A World Away
In a small village on the Mozambique coast, Yasuke led a simple life, blissfully unaware of the extraordinary destiny that lay before him. His world shattered when slave traders captured him, ripping him from his homeland and thrusting him into a brutal odyssey across the Indian Ocean. Fate, however, had other plans when he reached the bustling port of Goa, India.
In Goa, Jesuit missionaries purchased Yasuke, altering the course of his life. Under their guidance, he embraced Christianity, mastered new languages, and absorbed the ways of the Western world. But the wind had not finished carrying him to his ultimate destination.
Chapter 3: The Enchanted Isles
Loyal to the missionaries, Yasuke accompanied them to Japan, a land shrouded in mystery and allure. He was captivated by its breathtaking landscapes, intricate customs, and refined people. As the first African in Japan, he sparked fascination and intrigue wherever he went.
Chapter 4: Fateful Encounters
Kyoto, the heart of feudal Japan, bore witness to the meeting that would forever change Yasuke's life. Oda Nobunaga, a formidable and influential daimyo, was entranced by Yasuke's physical prowess, intellect, and exotic origins. Recognizing Yasuke's potential, Nobunaga welcomed him into his service as a samurai.
Chapter 5: A Warrior Forged
Yasuke's metamorphosis from slave to samurai was laden with trials. He navigated the grueling training, a rigid code of honor, and the complexities of Japanese society. Undaunted, he flourished, earning the admiration of his fellow samurai and the unwavering trust of Nobunaga.
Chapter 6: A Land Divided
As Nobunaga pursued his vision of a united Japan, Yasuke fought valiantly by his side in countless battles. The legend of the African samurai swelled with each victory, and their unbreakable bond deepened. Together, they braved the treacherous world of shifting alliances and betrayals that shaped the era.
Chapter 7: Whispers of Betrayal
Yasuke's renown as a skilled and devoted samurai expanded, as did his connection with Lord Nobunaga. But beneath the surface, a storm was brewing. Mitsuhide Akechi, once a staunch ally, had grown disillusioned with Nobunaga's leadership. His bitterness festered, fed by perceived slights and political machinations. Consumed by ambition and lust for power, Mitsuhide's judgment faltered.
Chapter 8: The Price of Loyalty
Yasuke detected the change in Mitsuhide's spirit and grew increasingly apprehensive. But his unwavering loyalty to Nobunaga held him back from voicing his suspicions. Instead, he redoubled his efforts, ever watchful and prepared to defend his lord at any cost.
Chapter 9: A Night of Shadows
On a fateful evening, the Oda clan gathered to revel in their recent triumphs, oblivious to the treachery that lurked in the shadows. Mitsuhide Akechi's nefarious scheme had been set in motion.
Chapter 9: A Night of Shadows
As dawn broke, the piercing cries of battle shattered the night's tranquility. Mitsuhide's forces had launched a devastating surprise attack on Nobunaga's residence at the Honno-ji Temple. Yasuke fought relentlessly, his sword cleaving through the treacherous warriors as he made his way to Nobunaga's side.
Chapter 10: Flames of Betrayal
The Honno-ji Temple, once a sanctuary of peace, was now engulfed in flames and chaos. Yasuke and Nobunaga fought back to back, their swords a blur of steel, as Mitsuhide's forces closed in. Despite their valiant efforts, they were outnumbered, and Yasuke could sense the battle was lost. With a heavy heart, he whispered a prayer for Nobunaga's soul, knowing that his lord would never surrender.
Chapter 11: A Promise Unbroken
As the temple crumbled around them, Yasuke was captured by Mitsuhide's soldiers. Imprisoned and stripped of his samurai status, he reflected on the path that had led him to this moment. Amidst the darkness, he found solace in the memories of his life with Nobunaga and his time as a missionary. A fire kindled within him, reigniting a long-forgotten purpose.
Chapter 12: The Road to Redemption
In the chaos following Mitsuhide's coup, Yasuke seized an opportunity to escape. He journeyed across war-torn Japan, seeking refuge and a chance to reclaim his former life. His determination and faith guided him, as did the memory of the missionaries who had once saved him from a life of slavery.
Chapter 13: Rebirth of a Missionary
Yasuke found solace and purpose among a group of missionaries in a remote village. Embracing his past, he became an instrumental figure in their community, sharing his knowledge of Christianity, languages, and the Western world. As he nurtured their faith, Yasuke felt the shadows of his life as a samurai slowly fade, replaced by the warm embrace of spiritual fulfillment.
Chapter 14: A Legacy Unforgotten
Though Yasuke had left the life of a warrior behind, the legend of the African samurai continued to grow. His story inspired generations, a testament to the power of resilience, courage, and the human spirit. It was a tale that transcended borders and time, a reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope and redemption could be found.
Epilogue:
As twilight draped the Japanese countryside, Yasuke stood atop a hill, gazing at the village he now called home. His journey had been one of unimaginable hardship, transformation, and ultimately, redemption. And as the sun dipped below the horizon, Yasuke knew that his story, like the sun's eternal cycle, would continue to inspire and illuminate the hearts of those who heard it.
Damn freelance IT engineers are less than SES.
Even if you become a freelancer because you are fed up with being exploited by SES, if you can't get work on your own and end up using an agency, you will be charged a margin. In the end, freelance agents are slave traders just like SES companies.
Full-time employees have to pay taxes and insurance premiums from what is deducted from their paychecks, but the shitty freelancers have to pay taxes and insurance premiums separately from what is taken from their margin.
So, it's still better to be an SES with a stable income, benefits, and the credit of a full-time employee, and without the hassle of paperwork.
The only way to survive as a freelance IT engineer is to make a name for yourself as a top player in a particular field, so that stable, high-paying jobs will come your way. But such an existence is like Captain Levi, who was looked up to by the ordinary soldiers of the garrison corps. Can he slice the nape of the neck of multiple Titans in an instant with a rotating slash? How many such beings exist?
Most ordinary geniuses would be better off as full-time employees, desperately clinging to their companies even if they are thrown into a firestorm or relegated to the window, owning a service that brings in money even when they are asleep as a manager, selling people as a slaver, or moving to another profession such as a cleaner or a security guard. or move to another occupation such as a janitor or a security guard.
