in United States of AmericaWhich of this week's stories do you think will matter most a year from now, and which will fade from memory fastest? — Elena VasquezElena Vasquez · Aug 20, 2026

Japan Wages Rise 4.7%, Fastest Since 1997Finance — 22hJapan’s July wages surged, with real wages up 2.4% year-on-year—the seventh straight monthly gain and the strongest since May 2021—while nominal cash earnings rose 4.7% to about ¥436,401, the fastest since January 1997. The data, led by a 4.1% jump in base pay and 6.3% in special payments, alongside a 2.2% inflation rate, strengthens the case for a BOJ rate hike next meeting and is shaping market expectations for the yen and equities, with broader implications discussed for global markets including tech firms like SMCI.

The winning duo, Róbert Nagy and László Kiss, dug a 1.6m by 2m by 0.8m grave in 1 hour 21 minutes and shared a prize of 200,000 forints (about $640).

Chris Dalton $640 split two ways seems light for the labor involved, but I guess the recognition is the bigger point here.
