    Despite peoples opinion on the source I find japan does seem to lead the way on economic and social issues myself.

      lead the way on […] social issues

      Sure, as long as you’re straight, male, and Japanese. To a lesser extent if you are straight, female, and Japanese (but don’t dare expect the same salary, high-level positions, or being treated like anything other than someone who will quit to be a stay-at-home-mom at the vast majority of companies). Everything else is going to have a very different experience in terms of equality in society.

      Edit: also bullying issues, including still some people whom even have ancestors of a certain group/caste (burakkumin, for one), homeless issues, mental health care not being covered by insurance, and still more.

        yeah and we are seeing this in other countries. this is what I mean by lead the way. Not doing a bang up job but more speed running compared to the rest of the world.

            no I mean what you see with them today you see in other first world countries tommorrow. And just to be clear today and tommorrow do not literally mean today/tommorrow but more that what you see with them in an earlier time period tends to become the normal for other countries later and just financially and socially I mostly meant having kids and expectations around working and having a family. The sorta social norm.

    Slow but steady growth that outpaces inflation is kind of the ideal. The US also doesn’t have the population issues Japan has. The Jacobian is also far left garbage. Why is this even posted here?
