West Japan town to provide 50,000 yen to all households as measure against rising prices – The Mainichi

1. The town is Hikone, Shiga.

2. That’s going to make prices rise even higher

3. Part of Japans goal is to raise inflation given where the economy and debt are. You’d think you would choose a more aggressive method, but okay.

4. TL;DR “50,000 yen each to households that are exempt from resident taxes” and only in Hikone, Shiga without this limiting condition (to all).
