" USA's labor situation has deteriorated since the last time we covered the news. As the labor market continues its downward trend, many protests have taken place across the nation to demand for policy overhaul. The peaceful movement has almost been pushed to riot when the news about the new policy of increasing tax rates for some sectors such as metalurgy and hard manufacturing reached the public.

This move, when we contacted a few economists for their opinions, was described as, we quote, ' Foolish, suicidal, lack the basis for,...'. There always been a sense of security from having US jobs for US citizens and the industrial fields have played a huge part in our country's wealth and they still are. This policy change under the presidency of Ronald Rump will effectively end the growth of industrial sectors. Do not let us remind you of the tariffs on imports from all nations in the last two years, the economy has just been on the upturn lately.

Back to the protest, when we inquired a few participants of the protest movement in Idaho for their reasonings to join the whole thing in the first place, one man, we will named him J for privacy, commented that the regulations would only benefit those with money while throwing the remaining poor ones under the bus. Jq lamented on how unfair his right being trampled had been and he was ready to fight for his family's survival. He further explained his household situation: him and his wife each have two jobs around the week and they are only barely able to afford rent, groceries, water, electric and their daughter's school fee. J then finished his argument with the remark that crime rates across the countries would skyrocket overnight because if the police and heroes did not hunt them down, poverty would still kill them later down the line.

" Later this weekend, the annual Paris Fashion Festival is being held with the participations of various leading figures in the field. After the Old Era ended, fashion was splitted temporarily into complete functionality or complete form catering to human's body shape. This barrier has been attacked continiously across the current history, from the first event after a major protest-turn-riot in Vienna, Italy to the conflicts in African countries demanding better labor rights and trading regulations for material providers and labors and to the current festival being held with entries from all corners of the world in different shape and forms to accomodate quirks.

Addressing the logistical problems arising due to the increase in scale and quality, the Head of Logistics have spent the last week making and posting a 2-hour long discussion and information sharing session on the festival's channel. One interesting bit he shared with the public was that the festival was not only a testing ground for fashion designers but also for international competitions. He eluded to an old event, previously abandoned due to lack of interest, to return with a change in format and style to accomodate the heroic social structures.

"Abnormal seismic activities in seabed around the I-Island has raised concern regarding illegal testing of technology. The suspiscion is further reinforced with sightings of light pillars deep undersea following the quakes from surveilance data published by the I-Island security team. As a result of this, further control on resources and the port area has been implemented and this has raised political tensions between I-Islands and other nations as experiments were being conducted under the island's jurisdiction but not managed properly. The ASEAN countries, the closest supply ports for the I-Island currently, have spoken out against the secrecy of the whole event and demanded answers from the island.

Our team of reporters has managed to locate one of the members of the Genius Society on I-Island. When asked about this matter while on the way to one of the weekly meetings with the board, Miss Ruan stated that she only lnew about the incidents from news coverage. But she also insisted that the Board and the Society were leaving the troublesome legality behind as the observed activities seemed to pose no harm ecologically, healthwise or geographically. She quickly shooed us away after getting her coffee and left afterward.

Despite not receiving a concrete answer, we can still make some speculations abou the event. Abnormal esismic activity and sighting of light pillars are true and have stopped since last week.

We are trying our hardest to uncover the truth for all of our readers, so to show your support, please spread the news and donate to our cause through this website.

" We are here to show respect to the lost lives of the citizens, heroes and many more under the vile hands of villains at this city of Ebusa. Despite having rebuilt the city from the ruin it has been left in, despite daily life has resumed on the previously dead streets, we must still remember and honor those that perished in the villain attack.

You have heard of the stories about how a yakuza gang has destroyed the foundation of buildings all across the city to play their wretched game of dominoes, but have you heard of the cruelty of their actions afterward? They hunted the civilians and heroes like wolves biting a herd of sheep. Using smuggled weapons, they shot indiscriminatingly at civilians. Using quirks, they killed and made a bloody path. But we cannot change the past, so now we pray for them across the golden river."
