題名は世田谷区長の保坂さんと杉並区地行の岸本さんと一緒に斎藤先生がゲスト出演したイベントの名前です。

現地参加したかったところですが、職場の飲み会があったので配信チケットにしました。アーカイブ配信は11/24までまだ配信中です!

このイベントの方に現地参加する事を選んでいたら、コロナにかかる事もなく、本業と呼んでいる副業の活動を3回も逃す事はなかったかもしれないと思うと悔しいです・・・が、まぁそれはともかく。

斎藤先生が、人々は声を上げる余裕がなくなり、声を上げないから状況が悪化するという負のサイクルが起こっていると指摘していました。それで最後は積み立てNISAをするという結論になるという・・・。(確かに私の友人のAも先日、周りの皆から積み立てNISAを勧められると話していました。確かに現実に起こっている事のようです。)

「マジョリティー」に属する人が、声を上げる余裕がない人の関心を共有し、行動を起こす事が必要ですが、地方自治に関心を持つ事は良い第一歩です。

They still look fine on the 5th day. It actually survived for more than 3 weeks.                               
5日目でもとても綺麗なお花たち。因みに最終的に3週間持ちました。                                               

The title is the name of an event, in which Saito sensei appeared as a guest, along with Setagaya Ward mayor Hosaka-san and Suginami Ward mayor Kishimoto-san.

I wanted to join offline, but the section I work for had a drinking party on that day, so I just purchased streaming ticket. The archive video is still available, until 24th November!

I think bitterly upon a thought that If I had chosen to go to the event instead of the drinking party, I wouldn’t have caught covid and wouldn’t have missed 3 activities of my side business, what I call the main business…well anyway.

Saito-sensei pointed out that there’s vicious cycle, in which many people can’t afford to raise their voice, and since they don’t raise their voice, the situation gets worse…. Then they start considering joining Nippon Individual Savings Account in the end…. (A friend of mine, A, actually said that everyone around her recommend to start NISA the other day… well it seems that it’s actually happening.)

So people of ‘majority’ needs to start taking actions, as people who share concerns of those who can’t afford to raise their voice. Paying attention to the local autonomy is a good starting point.

Having said that, today’s ‘time for that’

So I’m down with the COVID and now determined (for the umpteenth time) not to get sick again.

I survived sick days with pretty flowers. There’s a reason for people to send flowers when someone’s in the hospital for sure.
