By what measurements?

Income per capita in Japan is 33.6k USD as compared to USA's 45.8k. This translates into a difference in the standard of living. And no, Japan is not miraculously cheap to live in, nor does it have more open countryside than the US.

Incidentally:
UK: 35.1k
Germany: 34.2k
France: 33.2k

By some twist of fate, you are cure of your weeaboo ways. You find yourself a nice girlfriend and manage to lay the foundations of a promising career.

20 years fly by like nothing. As a CEO, you have your own large room with an ample desk were your computer and a picture of your happy family lay. You don't have much to do at the moment so you decide to play around with google, the only search engine available. "4chan...? It's been more than 20 years, I wonder if it still exists". Absent minded, you click that dust covered link. There, lost among /gaia/ and /frat/ you find the good and old /jp/...

A single sticky is hanged at the board. Years of memories flood your brain as you read "ZUN is dead". You have to get out of that building.

Empty, empty of all thought, of all feeling, you drift stumbling through the hasty stream of the avenue until you wreck at some bench where you cover with your hands, whose fever you couldn't notice, your eyes, whose tears you couldn't feel.

A large (huge) difference between the rich and poor does not mean that the rich are rich by "keeping everyone else in poverty."

>> No.1274383

>>1274325

That's what most leftist (read: poor minded) people think. They see the economic dynamics as a zero-sum game, and think rich people get rich by taking the money (or stealing) from the poor

Also, that gives material for the development of demagogic politicians who sees themselves as the "Robin Hoods" of modern societies. Curiously these politicians are the ones that get rich by "stealing" from the poor and the others by ways of heavy taxes, corruption and so on...

>> No.1274651

If the wealthy control all the resources and access to the means of producing wealth they can indeed be wealthy by keeping others poor. That is want goes on in most 3rd world nations.

In Japan, you work for a corporation.

In America, you work for minimum wage while a Japanese man does the job you went to college for at 10% the price it costs to hire an American to do the same job.

In Europe, the stuff that wasn't sold to corporations keeps old families rich.

Nothing stopping US employers from paying a living wage. College grads are a minority. All the non college grad jobs are Mc jobs or shipped overseas.

It's all on US employers they are greedy shits and slimballs, as long at they get rich fuck everyone else.

A living wage for everyone who wants a job in the USA of fuck them.

Some of us are tired of this current set up, very tired. Schooling/ training is not an option for everyone, some of us have a learning disabilities. It seems the only options are poverty or prison.

All Adults should have a living wage job if they want one.

You could always train for jobs that are/will be in demand: engineers, doctors, and such.

I've heard that overseas Chinese (could be any nationality, really) students are having problems even finding jobs in their native country because they often take commerce or business courses (arts even), and there just isn't enough demand for their skills.

No money and they wouldn't allow you to immigrate there anyway. Fucking rich assholes who have more money than they can spend in 50 lifetimes and Government need to get get with the program or the program should get going with them.

It pretty simple everyone who wants a living wage job should have one. Anyone or anything that gets in the way of that should be flattened.

>> No.1275193

>>1275163
Engineers, doctors, and such require a college degree. Not everyone can go to college. Not everyone can get training.

No one is paid for sitting home. If they can't create a society that has a useful living wage job for everyone who wants one they are shit and don't deserve their wealth or Government power.
