Douglas MacArthur and his staff were the primary creators of Japan’s Constitution.

Ramen is literally the closest thing to gumbo on the planet. Instead of making shrimp stock from heads / tails of shrimp they make pork stock from head / tail / hooves of pigs. Instead of Okra and rice, cayenne and bread and sassafras they use scallions, cornstarch, eggs, noodles and peppers


This is the stupidest thing I’ve read in a while

Yes and zero percent interest rates for 20 years.
Guess what - debt does NOT matter. Japan was the US and Global model from collapse back to prosperity.
The rich are now uber rich. And the gap between the rich and the poor is historically high with the middle class fading away.
It is the way it was always supposed to be. Right.
Just needed a little more expansion of CORRUPTION at the highest levels of government and business and NO RULE OF LAW for the rich and politicians to get things fixed …….

Imagine that, a country that whose pornography specializes in showing eels crawling out of women's asses has problems procreating. Who would have ever guessed?

How does that lower risk profile? Were a country to go insolvent against its own people, that seems a fairly high risk precept.


Any country or biz can go insolvent

My point jpn has a “relatively” lower risk profile is a function of the demographic who holds the debt. JPN effectively has a perpetual guaranteed buyer of their debt bc the citizens are highly nationalist and conservative savers

Even with such high ratios, they keep rates low bc the govt doesn’t really have to worry about meeting expectations of sovereign investors. If this wasn’t the case, domestic rates would almost certainly blow out; then the japs would be in a world of trouble if the cost to finance their budget goes up by, say, 1000%

You should look at their demographics- more people are dying than being born. Combine that with impossible immigration and you have a nation in decline.

If you get the opportunity to watch NatGeo's, Japan Between Earth and Sky, do so. It's a beautiful country.

May be the most polite people on the planet.

My president said this comes from when they were small farming village. You worked well with neighbors or they would ignore you. He said that is why Japanese people have trouble saying no.

tJapanese are such a wonderful people. My brother just married a Japanese woman (native) and their demeanor is so calm and relaxed. Plus, they love ‘Murica but still hold on to traditional Japanese values.

I’m sure there are plenty of nice things about it, but I’m not going to fetishize the le glorious Nippon where they would rather lust after underage cartoon women to the point of dying off and everything is just so kawaiiii. Maybe that and all the sideways gash walking around makes some people feel like they have a chance, but then as a trade off you have a henpecking wife and ugly hapa nowag children with your last days being in a suicide forest. I’m still glad I live in burgerland.

Japan is home to the world’s deepest underwater postbox as recognized by Guinness World Records in 2002. Located in Susami, a fishing town in Wakayama Prefecture, over 32,000 pieces of mail have been posted to the box since it was installed in 1999. Accessible by diving, senders deposit notes written by oil-based paint marker on water-resistant paper into the mailbox. The mail is collected every few days and sent on to the recipients.


WYHI?
