Why doesn't North Korea focus on making their actual citizens and society better, instead of dumping money into launching failed rockets into the ocean. Instead of spending millions on that, they should spend millions on buying food and building houses

Badman while your plan of fiscal reform is the correct course, it doesn't benefit my bottom line :P

Every 1 yen per dollar inflated, causes me to do a small dance, as it makes that much of a difference immediately

Of course I know this won't help in the long run for Most people, since most people don't invest their earnings to hedge against the coming inflation that all this money printing is causing

As long as you can stay ahead of the curb, and reinvest your money into areas which are beating inflation, you are fine

if you can't, then get ready to crash and burn in the next 10-20 years

Posted in: Japan's secret economic weapon: women See in context

Until women in general are willing to take on the real tough jobs or work the long hours that men are forced to do, it doesn't matter how many women enter the workforce as all it will just create is a huge demand in the white collar jobs, thus making employers like myself able to lower wages, increase hours and give less benefits

Im all for equality, as long as the women want to pick up a shovel, put in the hours, and do some real work.

lets ask some of these women to work in hazardous jobs, or jobs outdoors in bad weather, or maybe require them to relocate to a far away location for a position

Oh wait....women figured out that doing this stuff sucks, and that is probably why they would rather be housewives, or only want positions that allow them to have flex time, or go home early, or other random benefits that no man is allowed to have.

you give a human being choices, and of course the majority are going to choose the path which gives the most freedom

If my wife wants to work 12-14 hours a day to pay all the bills, and secure our future investments, I am more than happy to stay home and take care of the kids or just work part time, then on my free time I can do other things that I actually enjoy doing

But yeah....that ain't gonna happen

How is this a scam? you aren't paying extra for it

They are basically giving you the offer to eat more food for free as a promotion

Most people order value meals anyways, so you are just getting the opportunity to get more food free for ordering the meal

And every burger king I have been to in Japan, there have been much shorter lines than at Moss or McD's

How is this different than any other modernized country where the woman gets custody of the kids and the courts / govt back it up?

I know friends in the USA and Canada who are getting screwed by their ex-wives and are not allowed to see the children. And Im sure those single mom's are brainwashing the kids just like these Japanese women are doing

Does it suck? Yeah, but this is what the world is like, and its not going to change, seeing as the Mother is always given the benefit of the doubt in all situations regarding children

No matter how bad Japan's economy becomes and people become unemployed etc, the Japanese people won't riot and destroy their own country.

Im pretty sure there is a widening income gap between the upper class and the middle / lower class, but the average Japanese won't get upset about it

Its why I love living in Japan :)

Yeah, lets mimic the USA, and have over 50% divorce rates, with lots of single mothers raising future delinquents, that claim they are independent, when in fact they have just replaced men, with government handouts

That has done wonders for western society !

Posted in: Why it’s so hard to have your family come to Japan See in context

I always tell my friends, don't come to Japan unless you are ready to drop some serious cash to have fun

Of course the type of fun is different for all people, but generally if you want to experience alot of what Japan has to offer, you have to be ready to drop a good chunk of change, if you want to have a comfortable trip here. Especially if you are only coming for a short period of time (1 week or less)

Thailand is a much better vacation spot. I remember going there and dropping about $2000.00 US in 2 weeks, I had the time of my life, and lived like a King

I'd rather be waited on hand and foot for 2 weeks while sleeping in a beautiful hotel or beach house, next to a crystal clear ocean, than be cramped into a hostel / capsule hotel / business hotel in the middle of busy Tokyo

Creating more government jobs, where salaries are paid through either higher taxes , debt creation, or money printing doesn't = a better economy

The fact that people think its even the Presidents job to create employment, are retarded. Its the Presidents job to keep government out of the way, so the private sector can create REAL growth

Even if the GDP grows a few %, it doesn't mean anything, if you had to take on a high % of debt to fuel the growth.

Posted in: Romney turns in strong debate performance See in context

I don't see why issues in the USA are so difficult to solve

Just raise interest rates, and don't let government meddle in the free market

Will it suck for the first decade ? yeah probably. Will a lot of ppl dependent on the government to survive get screwed? Yup. But what other choice do we have?

Keep up this deficit spending and rely on other countries to fuel our spending? Or debase our currency by having the Fed pick up the slack and buy up debt by printing money?

This is what I don't get about voters and their issues. NOTHING is more important than the economy. If the economy is in shambles, nothing else matters. All other issues don't matter, when you can't afford to pay your bills, buy food, or invest for the future

God sometimes I just want the rest of the world to abandon the US dollar as the reserve currency, so I can laugh when the people in America wake up and realize "Why won't my dollars buy anything??"

So retarded.....

Ugh no thank you to this

I don't want Japanese women becoming like American women. Brain washed by Sex and the City and Desperate housewives, which tries to tell women that 40 is the new 20...LOL please.

40 is past the expiration date for most women to find Rich Successful confident men to have serious relationships with. So what choice do they have but to give it up to the younger guys who aren't established yet? Or maybe date a younger guy who isn't as confident and is easy to control

Hey this is great to all you young guys out there, cause these 40 year old women are great bench warmers. They will be there to give you what you need, until you can hone your skill and make that $$$, then upgrade to a nice tight 20 year old

Don't get me wrong, there are hot 40 year old women out there, but I sure as hell wouldn't marry any of them. 40 year old hot women are like a Used Mercedes. Still nice cars, and great to drive, until you can afford to own that brand new 2012 model

@Ramzel

Wrong wrong wrong

Your play it safe, take thing slow approach is why corp Japan is failing globally. You know why the economy is hurting right now? its because people aren't taking risks, because they are scared. Individuals don't want to invest, companies are cutting back, and especially Japan, they are just doing the same old regurgitated system from 20-30 years ago

Everything moves faster now, which means people have to be just as fast. Especially the youth of today, they are wired in and connected 24/7. You no longer need someone to hold your hand and teach you how to do the basics, when you can just google and learn the information on your own at a much quicker pace.

Is it risky? Sure. Can you make errors? Yup, but guess what, that is how you learn. No one has ever taught me anything which I couldn't have looked up myself and easily figured out in 5 seconds. We aren't talking brain surgery here, we are talking counting banknotes and doing remedial tasks.

I graduated from a top US university 6 years ago, came back to Japan, very energetic and enthusiastic, landed a job at a very reputable company, and guess what? Quit after 2 years. 2 years of doing a brainless task, with no real opportunity to give any creative insight. My bosses and so called Sempai's blew off all my suggestions, and the few times they kinda liked what they heard, they ended up using it and taking all the credit. So yeah guess what I quit and started my own company

Nothing I learned in that 2 year process prepared me for running my own business. Sure it was bumpy the first year, but I had my brains, www.google.com, social networking, and my balls. Now 4 years later I make well over 6 figures and only hire people who think very far outside of the box. People who are constantly pushing into the fringes, always voicing their ideas, and Im there to listen and work with them to keep staying ahead of the pack. I don't teach anyone the basics, because I expect them to learn on their own and pick it up very quickly. And if they can't do that, I let them go

So don't say Economy is bad, you should be lucky to have any job, and just suck it up. Those are all just excuses. Because there are people and companies out there who are making money and growing in this so called "recession" and they aren't doing it by playing it safe

Oh and your McDonalds example is completely unrealistic. That might have happened 50-60 years ago, but it doesn't happen today. No one in 2012, who wants to get into a executive position at McDonalds, goes in and applies to flip burgers, while thinking "ok in 15 years I'll be store manager, and in 30 I'll finally be at the corp HQ !"

That is how the typical Japanese company does things, and we can obviously see how that is complete fail in this day and age

Thunderbird2

who says you can't learn the ropes while being in a position that also fuels your ambition?

Just because someone knows what they want and won't settle for less doesn't make them arrogant. If they don't have any dire responsibilities that need a steady salary, maybe its better to quit and find something that challenges you

Obviously the Japanese method of recruiting / training is failing, or else Japan would still be number 1

Instead Japan dropped the ball, and thought the gravy train was gonna keep coming.

Learning the ropes from the ground up is how its always been done in Japan, but that doesn't work anymore with our globalized networked economy. You gotta be faster , more creative, see the trends, and take RISKS. And generally the older generation does not do this, nor will they listen to some young guy who could possibly have the next great idea

Posted in: New hirees quitting in droves See in context

Why do people assume the first 3 guys are having tantrums?

Some people take whatever they can get. Others take what they deserve

If I graduated from a top tier university, I wouldn't settle for a mediocre position, with bosses who I don't respect

Maybe if large Japanese corporation gave the young ambitious people a shot and put them in positions which challenged them from the start, Japan wouldn't be in the terrible economic situation that it is in now

Do you think Google / Apple / Samsung stuck their young ambitious new recruits in a meaningless position?

I would be frustrated as hell if I had creative ideas that could help the company out, but I was stuck in tottori, forced to spend the most important time of my career, reporting to some non-motivated Ossan.

Thumbs up to these 3 guys, except for the last one. They made the right choice.

There are many sheep out there who are either 1. Lack self confidence 2. Have no ambition 3. Compromise

Obviously these 3 thought they were worth more, and were confident enough that they would find better. Even the basketball guy made the right choice. He wasn't willing to compromise what he valued more, and knew he could get another job, so quitting was the right choice

As long as you aren't in a position which forces you to sacrifice what you think you are worth, such as being in debt, having family to support, etc. Then why not take the risk and go for something better

I love how people here criticize, us Japanese for being complacent robots, then when the few out there with the balls to say FU and get what they are worth, you still criticize them.

I quit my crappy salaryman job after 2 years, and just started my own business. Because I knew inside that I was worth more, and my ambitions were greater than what was being offered from the typical zombie corp job.

But you know what? Im glad there are sheep out there, and people who complain about their situation / lives, and take no risks to improve it. If it weren't for those people, then I wouldn't be able to live the life I do today
