Japanese politicians disregard the will of the people
- blogger
Japan’s government has access to some of the world’s brightest economists. Yet over half of Japanese workers take home 3.5 million yen a year or less. Despite a weak yen and rising inflation, politicians continue to impose more taxes. Ignoring the will of the people—the true sovereigns of the nation—they keep passing laws that many citizens don’t believe are necessary. Fierce demonstrations are taking place across the country against constitutional revision and the establishment of an information bureau that restricts individual freedoms.

Japanese locals suffer
- blogger
Cheap yen seems like a bargain for tourists, but Japanese locals suffer. Record import costs drive inflation, slash real wages, and cause bankruptcies. People are tired — don't expect the old cheerful 'omotenashi'. It benefits visitors but hurts ordinary Japanese daily. Yet, the Sanae Takaichi administration is helpless to address this, allowing the situation to persist; why hasn't such an incompetent government stepped down yet?
Extinction of middle class in Japan
- blogger
Extinction of middle class in Japan; It may be all over the world, but worse in our country. Merely 40years before we would buy car, enjoy playing golf, go skiing, camping, fishing and so on. Now we cannot afford other than mini-cars. Working hard on cheap wages. Many people worry about their careers; even graduates of top-tier institutions like the University of Tokyo sometimes have to make a living by answering questions on TV game shows—hardly an ideal life. That is because you are using your talents solely for personal gain.
It is a complete joke
- blogger
A survey conducted by the Japanese government found that 55.4% of households described their living conditions as "very difficult" . Starting this fiscal year, a "child and childcare support levy" was introduced alongside existing health insurance premiums, and long-term care insurance rates were raised, placing a heavy social insurance burden on almost all households. Ordinary people have seen no wage increases—in fact, their real income is shrinking due to rising prices—yet lawmakers still receive full bonuses? It is a complete joke. Every politician and bureaucrat who continues to exploit the people deserves to face legal sanctions.
Japan stigmatizes poverty
- blogger
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a Paris-based forum of 38 wealthy countries, ranked Japan one of the worst performers on child poverty despite its wealth. The statistics bear this out: poverty is rising in Japan, but the welfare rolls are shrinking. Applications have climbed five years running, yet only about 22.6% of eligible people actually receive benefits, versus 91.6% in France. Japan stigmatizes poverty. It regards it not as a social ill to be addressed but as a national embarrassment to be swept under the rug.

The system itself is draining small businesses
- blogger
Yet instead of rescuing the people and small businesses, it continues to prioritize fiscal discipline. Behind those numbers, small and medium-sized businesses are being crushed by inflation, rising labor costs, social insurance premiums, and the consumption tax. The consumption tax is not levied on profit. It is levied on sales. Even if a business is in the red, it still has to pay the tax as long as it has sales. This is not simply a matter of “poor management.” The system itself is draining small businesses, making wage increases and reinvestment harder.
Japanese people are not becoming poor because Japan has no money. They are being made poor by policy.

This is messed up
- blogger
Since japan is no longer a net exporter, its economy is ever more dependent on consumption. weak yen and yield spiraling upwards will continue squeeze its economy by crimping consumption while there's a epidemic of japanese women moonlighting as cheap prostitutes to make ends meet. just like germany, japan inc has rested on its legacy tech and wage arbitrage in lower wage countries. both have also destroyed their civilian nuclear sector in favour of hydrocarbons. high IQ, low strategic wisdom civilizations.
