My understanding is that Japanese local governments spend double digit percentages of their budgets on things like sanitation and cleanup as a reason for why their cities look so relatively clean and then it's just a racial stereotype that outsiders think it's a cultural thing that they're just so "disciplined" to keep their surroundings neat and tidy
ime american commercial areas, restaurants, and workplaces are kept clean.

american neoliberal hollowing means civil infrastructure will not have this same level of attention or budget. dick wolff, who has personal experience, remarks that the nyc subways are the filthiest in the world and that the per capita civil spending per ridership has quartered since the 80s.

the wastebin and recycling in my office are self serve, you gotta go empty it yourself. you also need to wipe your desk and stuff and I'm not sure they really vacuum the floors, although there is a vacuum cleaner in the break room you can use.

it's fine but a little unusual to me and inefficient. in Turkey this stuff is cleaned almost daily -- usually by people in the direct employ of the company until about 10 years ago, when a lot of places started contracting out.

That demography argument just doesn't work because you can assign the lowest birth rate curve from Korean or Taiwan now to China, and China will continue to have more working force than the US for the next 50+ years. And based on how much more engineers China produces than the west right now, you can extrapolate China will continue to have more engineers for decades.

And if you want to play the "predict the future based on the current rate" game, then you have to play the same game on the gdp grow rates. In other words, China will catch up and surpass the US based on the current gdp grow rate plus a handicapped birth rate.

Never mind the gdp calculation is doctored and the number is based on USD which is inherently not an accurate representation of the US actual power.

The population number thing is pretty weird because India's right there with worse GDP than China and the US' GDP is also another blatant counterpoint to the direct correlation between GDP and population number. Not surprising though that scratching liberals will cause a fascist to bleed.

i don't see what the oriental bit has to do with it? japan's leadership systems, from top to bottom, are very much focused on consensus and nobody really sticking their necks out. that usually means that a problem has to get pretty bad before it gets addressed, but once it does get addressed there aren't any obstacles to getting it addressed quickly and thoroughly.

good example is cashless payments. used to be you couldn't go out in tokyo without carrying cash because so many places were still cash only. once covid hit, in the space of like 3-6 months tokyo at least went from maybe 40% of places being cash only to like, iunno, 5% tops?

i think they’re mixing things up. there’s a real tendency for the rapid expansion of gdp in a currently industrializing society to correlate with the increasing population of urban proletariat. that is to say, the lowest hanging fruit for a developing economy is to move people from the farms into the factories, and also to have more kids. both of those grow your industrial work force. once you’ve completed that process gdp growth historically slows down (but doesn’t usually stop unless you’re japan)

Something brewing in SK it looks like?

quote:

If you’re wondering why Thais and Koreans are fighting on twitter you should check out this hashtag #แบนเที่ยวเกาหลี

Thais are speaking out against racism in south Korea.

Thais are over policed, discriminated against as tourists, foreign workers and subjected to abuse publicly as a result of s Korea’s growing anti-Thai rhetoric.

for context: Thais make up one of the largest migrant population in SK, an estimated 70% of south Korea’s undocumented workers are Thai nationals.

In this video the lady being interviewed talks about work place abuse and harassment for her Thai identity from Koreans as young as kids. something is deeply fascist and wrong with south Korean society. It seems to have gotten worst since I was last there as a kid for 1 month.

It is horrific here.

In life as in death, Thai migrant worker treated as less than human by his Korean employer

For Korea’s Justice Ministry, no place is sacred from immigration raids

And they want more migrants as housekeepers to somehow boost birthrates?

Korea wants to use foreign women as underpaid domestic servants

I tried to be sarcastic online and failed horribly

Context edit:

In Japan the owning class is shouting "Staff shortages, staff shortages!!!", and installing these self-check-out cashless counters everywhere. I see them in convenience stores, supermarkets and even fast-fashion such as "Uniqulo". They usually have two three of these cashless counters and usually one or sometimes more normal checkouts. I guess it depends on how much they want to inconvenience you for not complying with "cashless" and how much they want to wage war against labor. Luckily most people seem to shun these "self checkouts" in favor of the real deal.

Then there is of course this entire cashless thing which is yet another layer of data harvest and privacy and security nightmares on top of the reduction of peoples agency.
But, depressingly most seem to be okay with this. Increasingly so as they purposefully add friction to you being able to pay with cash.

I have been turned away at shops and coffee takeouts which refused my loving money. Didn't yet look into the legality of it but it seems shady as all gently caress

China’s world-leading cancer drug makes historic foray into the US amid medicine crisis


quote:

An innovative biopharmaceutical medicine from China has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat cancer, as the US turns to China to solve its cancer drug shortages.

Toripalimab, an antibody drug developed by Shanghai Junshi Biosciences, received FDA approval on October 27 to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma, an aggressive form of cancer that starts behind the nose in the upper part of the throat.

This is the first – and currently only – drug that is approved by the FDA to treat that type of cancer. It is also the first Chinese antibody drug – the development of which requires huge investment and cutting-edge technology – to enter the US market.

Thank you, China.
