- Kyoto local government dual pricing buses -

The Kyoto city government is thinking of introducing dual pricing for the city buses: charging one price for locals, and another, higher price for visitors.
It isn't exactly if this just means foreigners, but it more than likely does. But does it specifically mean foreign tourists? All tourists from outside of Kyoto (including other Japanese people)?

Will foreign residents like myself have to pay a higher price to use the bus that my taxes already go towards funding? Is this fair and justifiable? How will it be implemented? Kyoto has no money, and the bus service is terribly underfunded and overworked already, and now they might introduce a dual pricing system effectively making the bus driver ask EVERYONE for proof of residence? Does this seem like a good idea?

- US War with Iran: Part 2 - Electric Boogaloo -

As this is a developing story, there is a very good chance that the situation will be different when we talk about this, but at the time of writing Trump did not bring any TACOs; the US attacked Iran and killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. At the moment, it is unclear what the US' next step will be.

What do you think? Was the US justified in attacking Iran? What will happen next: will the US try to collapse the regime, or work with those who remain? What will the ultimate outcomes be for Iran? Will the US try to depose any other leaders soon?
