You probably knew that this kind of investment deals were not done in one day. Most of the deals were already announced by Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba previously. Same as the TSMC $100 billion investment.

Posted by AlexLWR on 3/2/25 at 10:20 am
Flu vaccines likely don't work as well in people over age 65. Because of weakened immune systems (often due to aging).
Less effective =/= Don’t work
Flu vaccination is especially important for people 65 years and older because they are at higher risk of developing serious flu complications.

Education Rankings is not by number of people
You can compare the number of scholars from US vs China, and then compare the total publications and citations as the list above

The richest 1 % of the Russian population received more than one fifth of the national income, while enjoying favourable tax rates. Wealth inequality has also increased over the past two decades, with nearly half of the total wealth held by only 1 % of the population.
The number of homelessness in Russia is 5 million, approximately 3.5 percent of Russia’s population. Out of Russia’s 144.5 million population, 13.3% live below the poverty line.
