The number of drug-overdose deaths in the U.S. is predicted to drop for the first time in decades, according to an analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but researchers say the epidemic hasn’t been defeated yet. wsj.com/articles/overd…
There may also be a sort of grand trade diversion, in which America starts getting stuff from Vietnam and Bangladesh while Japan and Europe shift toward purchasing from China -- which has been cutting tariffs on everyone except us 3/ piie.com/blogs/trade-in…
But that's probably not the whole story. These days, China has moved part way up the value chain -- it's no longer just the place of final assembly for goods whose guts are produced in richer countries. So final assembly of Chinese components can be shifted too 2/
Kim Kardashian filed for a bunch of trademarks on the word "kimono" (even for actual kimono), which, if granted, would allow her to ban Japanese companies from using the word "kimono" in America. Somebody call Cool Japan ASAP. 😱😱 tmz.com/2018/05/07/kim…pic.twitter.com/ieCzKfpeLW
@TrinityNYC@KimKardashianHmmm. An interesting name. Not sure what to think really. A bit like selling a bra naming KILT. Let's see what Scottish folks would say to that. 🧐
Manila, Philippines.
This is the only appropriate costume to wear when protesting outside the Japanese embassy.

Nope. Don’t call this Kimono (even if it is a play on your name). Cultural appropriation for financial benefit is very icky — especially here. Goodbye. twitter.com/kimkardashian/…
@KimKardashianNice underwear, but as a Japanese woman who loves to wear our traditional dress,👘 kimono, I find the naming of your products baffling (since it has no resemblance to kimono), if not outright culturally offensive, especially if it’s merely a word play on your name. Pls reconsider
Unbearably handsome in kimono. This is what kimono looks like. (The right side is yukata, a type of kimono in light summerly fabric)

Naming your product/startup with Japanese words might seem hip and all, but it really sucks for us when our culture is diluted by names of brands that don't have anything to do with what the word actually represents.
And better yet, trademarking it? F NO.

@KimKardashianAbsolutely tasteless and awful. You have ZERO respect to the Japanese culture, do you. What's wrong with you.
I'm from Japan. For us, Kimono represents the beauty & elegance of the country's tradition. Your spandex underwear brand has nothing to do with it. I'm offended.
