Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday defended controversial security bills that have sparked protests from voters worried they violate the country’s pacifist constitution Cheap Derek Wolfe Jeysey , after polls showed a drop in popular support for his government.
The security bills would allow Japan to exercise its right of collective self-defense, or to defend a friendly country under attack. They have been approved by the lower house of parliament and will now be deliberated in the upper house.
“The legislation has been linked to certain images, with some people calling it ‘war legislation’ and talking about conscription. This is wrong Cheap C.J. Anderson Jeysey ,” he said, asserting that the legislation would decrease the risk of war rather than increase it.
Support for Abe’s government fell nearly 10 points to 37.7% in a poll by Kyodo news agency released on Saturday, after his ruling bloc pushed forward legislation marking a dramatic shift in the nation’s post-war defense policy.
The survey by Kyodo news agency Cheap Trevor Siemian Jeysey , conducted on Friday and Saturday, showed 51.6% disapproved of Abe’s government. It was the first time Abe’s disapproval rating had topped 50% since he took office in December 2012, promising to bolster Japan’s defenses and reboot the stale economy.
Abe said the numbers were “tough” and likely a result of misunderstandings over the bills.
Abe has been expected to win re-election for another three-year term as LDP leader in a September party election. So far no rival has indicated a desire to contest the race.
In 2003 I interviewed Steve Antisdel for a story about how they were embracing the Internet at the family furniture store.
I had been contacted by a trade association he was a member of and told that he was one of their most forward thinking members.
I ended up with something a lot more exciting than that when I found out they were taking their online business to outside investors.
As it turned out Cheap Chris Harris Jr Jeysey , they were one of the first privately owned mainstream retailers to jump into the deep water of the Internet - at a time when everyone else was funded with virtually unlimited resources.
Not only had they taken their five decades old furniture store on line, battling and winning against huge odds (they were the last player left standing after the dot com bubble burst) but now they were bringing in a group of venture capitalists.
The story was also exciting because maybe this option would become a viable exit strategy for other Main Street companies.
Two years passed and I heard from Steve again. He and his brother and cousin had created a consulting and investment company, taking what they had learned building the ECommerce application for a traditional retailer Cheap Emmanuel Sanders Jeysey , and were helping other businesses leverage their companies online.
By the time we connected again they had come across a company selling apparel to working people. You know, like factory workers buying metatarsal boots & shoes to protect their feet in a hostile environment, steel toe logger boots Cheap Aqib Talib Jeysey , a full line of Carhartt clothes and Timberland boots, even (I am not kidding) steel toe tennis shoes.
I loved it. So often all you hear about are Internet marketers selling stuff nobody needs or big companies selling glamorous items only a few can afford.
They found a a company, located in a town of 400 people Cheap Demaryius Thomas Jeysey , Lakeville Indiana, not exactly in the middle of nowhere, but they could see it from there Cheap John Elway Jeysey , that had become a destination for working people from all over the area.
Plus a company that has a truck carrying 1,000 pairs of work shoes and boots that visits plants in a sixty mile radius, selling and servicing its customers when they are on break or coming off or going on their shift.
Now the people who took a furniture store online have done the same thing for this tiny store Cheap Von Miller Jeysey , extending their reach nationally.
Only one out of four successful companies outlive their founder. Why is that?
Evidence points to a lack of leadership and management skills in the person who is charged with the responsibility to grow the business in the second generation.
I asked Steve what the key ingredient in their decision was that motivated them to join forces with Eric Deniger and The Working Person Store to apply what they had learned taking the family furniture store online.
Steve said, "If it hadn't been for Eric, there is no way we (North Main Ventures) would have gotten involved in a deal and applied ourselves to it like we have. Without someone who 'just knew it' it wouldn't have been the right partnering opportunity - and Eric's the guy."
Leadership Wholesale Denver Broncos Hats , management, and effective communication are the focus of our next series of interviews with Main Street.
Our objective is to shine a light on best practices by today's and tomorrow's leaders.
My hunch was right when I agreed to interview these two guys. Steve was featured in this month's Internet Retailer and Eric has just received an award by the Governor of Michigan as a company to watch.
