In the US, there are bloated CEOs and shareholders who pocket all the excess money that inflation/etc creates. The average worker makes $11/hr but the CEO makes $11 million or something.
Is that the case in Japan? The salaries in Japan are well below the US salaries, but the cost of goods/things aren't really proportionally lower. (And in some cases are considerably higher than the US counterparts.) So, where does the money go? Are there bloated Saizerya and Donki CEOs out there like there are of McDonalds and Walmart? I feel like the wage disparity in Japan isn't as bad as it is in the US, but since the prices are usually similar, I don't understand where all the money is going.
