Peaceful, prosperous, and safe, low unemployment and low inflation, still in the top economies by most measures, and with apparently only external risks to deal with: is this how it is supposed to be living in a modern society? Chime in.

Prosperous with a declining population?
Low inflation with what happened in the past 3 years?
??????????
It doesn’t go far enough.
Return to monke
Wages stagnant for what, 30 years or something? 🤔
You’ve been living in Japan for a month haven’t you…
Prosperous? Not according to most of the posts around here
Low inflation? Did you just arrive?
The price of eggs at my local store was Â¥196 mid 2022 and now it’s almost Â¥280.
Modernity?? Fax machines are still common aren’t they? How about gender equality?
Also only external things to deal with? Japan has some pretty big societal things to deal with. Like the falling birth rates and the aging population.
Modernity to me is insulation and central air. Do you know where I can find both in Japan during this winter?
Uh….. no. In Tokyo maybe but not down in the 田舎
