I want you to check out Heichiku's Instagram.
While politicians are enjoying their overseas trips, these old guys are sweating it out replacing railway ties. For every single typhoon they cut, the equivalent of one mower blade is being shaved off their heads.
The ones making those decisions are the politicians who live extravagant lifestyles.

It's been over a month since my wallet was stolen from my car in Hachioji...
— Ojo🐖͛ (@ojo_san24) June 23, 2026
The suspect paid with a credit card at a convenience store, so their identity was immediately known, and they even rang the doorbell right there, but they said the person pretended not to be home or something, so they won't get a search warrant.
Hachioji Police, do your job properly!
I wonder what's going on with the detective...?
When my car was stolen, I tracked down the thieves' hideout but the police wouldn't do anything, so I rescued them myself and got yelled at a lot. But when I said something like, 'But when I went to the police station, you guys were probably eating lunch and gave me a half-hearted response, right?', they let it go.
