Shinjiro Koizumi Switching from imported mineral water to domestically produced water or tap water would “increase disposable income and put more money in the pockets of households．”
On the 21st, Shinjiro Koizumi, a former Minister of the Environment and a candidate in the LDP presidential election, argued that if people stopped buying drinking mineral water imported from overseas and switched to domestically produced mineral water or tap water, “disposable income would increase and households would have more money in their pockets.” He was asked by reporters while on a business trip in Futtsu, Chiba Prefecture, about his views on water policy. Koizumi said, “Even though we live in a town where the water is delicious, we drink foreign bottled water at convenience stores. “There is no more illogical way to consume,” he pointed out. At the same time, he said, “If you compare the cost with tap water, it’s more than 100 times more expensive. Instead of going out of my way to drink something expensive, I want to change the way I drink and use water in my basic everyday life,” she emphasized. *Previous thread.
>>9 Maybe they want to talk about local production for local consumption, but I wonder if a member of parliament would say that. I want them to make it a policy.
Everything Shinjiro says is like, “Huh?!” but I wonder what Kyodo News, which has degraded to a source for China and Korea, is trying to do by attacking Shinjiro?
Well, the water overseas is hard water, so I got carried away and drank it every day, but then I got diarrhea that wouldn’t stop, so I stopped drinking it lol.
Unfortunately, I was already aware that this was the case, so this isn’t a negative campaign. There’s no reason for people who can vote in the presidential election to choose him.
>>31 The optimal solution would be to impose a moderate tariff on foreign water that would raise the retail price, and increase the national treasury. But I wonder if the share of overseas brands is as big as Shinjiro says. When it comes to bottled water, most people buy natural water from XX or domestically produced water, right? When it comes to overseas water, I only know about Volvic and Crystal whatever.
Well, I kind of get what you’re trying to say: if we don’t buy expensive things, our wallets will be a little better But that’s not the case… If that were the case, everyone would just buy cheap stuff, but isn’t that deflation? The government is trying to get out of deflation, but does this guy even understand that?
