The Ministry of Propaganda controls the Ministry of Labor.

, 20 hours ago) quoting a CNN segment. The post includes a news broadcast image with a male and female CNN anchor, discussing a jobs report. Text overlay reads: "NEW THIS MORNING LABOR SECRETARY WE NEED GOVT OPEN TO RELEASE SEPT. JOBS REPORT D STABBING ATTACK OUTSIDE A SYNAGOGUE ON YOM KIPPER, THE HOLIEST DAY IN JEWISH CALENDAR 9:32 AM ET." The post text states: "CNN: Construction jobs fell in August, private sector payrolls plunged in September. Why is it heading in the wrong direction? Labor Secretary De-Remer: All indicators shows we have the strongest economy in the world. What we inherited from the Biden administration... CNN: Jobs economy? Do we have the strongest jobs economy compared to last year when there were hundreds of thousands of jobs added each month? De-Remer: Absolutely. [Everyone in this administration is out of their fucking minds]."
The stories behind the coins are what really bring them to life. While I don't have any coins of Mexican Emperor Maximilian I, but knowing his story, certainly brings life into those coins (I mean, not to him of course, his life as #Emperor of #Mexico was short lived :) )
Green and more green: the season of new leaves in Japan. At Kyōto Imperial Palace (京都御所) I went into the former residence area of Emperors. Plus, from the northernmost subway station in the city, I walked around Treasure Pond (宝ヶ池公園), where I spotted a shy doe, oh deer!
It was during this season that my haiku in Japanese was published in the national Asahi Haidan, with a circulation of about eight million households at the time:
若葉には 枝に世界が 回るやう (全国版朝日俳壇)
To young leaves
The world seems
To spin on a branch
