Apart from a handful of olds who would be "young people these days  " wherever they were from, the population in general is pretty chill about both the younger generation and the availability of welfare. Something to remember is that Japan had a very active socialist movement right up until the asset bubble started—the Japan Socialist Party was the biggest opposition party for decades, for example, and the Communist Party (which is basically our only choice of socialist party these days) consistently gets 8-10 seats in the Upper House. People might not be as vocal as other countries on these topics but there's a fairly consistent expectation that everyone gets the help they need through welfare.The current economically- and socially-right wing government, on the other hand, has two goals: Be more like the U.S. economically, and take Japan back to its glory days of the 1930s, I poo poo you not. For some reason, PM Abe's small dick would seem a lot bigger if everyone in the country would quit being so uppity and just realise that (1) Japan is #1 and (2) traditional family values are best for everyone, now get back in the kitchen. Overall, it sucks, because you've got the government, the business lobby and the public each with their own ideas, and at the moment the first two are pretty much in lockstep. Lower taxes for big businesses,  stop hindering us with these antiquated ideas of "minimum wage" and "protection for poor SE Asian workers who are flown in to to the dirty work (and then flown out again ASAP), and raise the consumption tax because dontcha know we all gotta pay our fair share, now pay up, poors!e: Sorry, I wasn't Chicken Parma!

pantsfree posted:The only issue I've had with this is that a lot of people in HR/recruitment want a .doc/docx because they have their own horrid tools they use to pull out data/keywords to use with their internal databases. When I was on the job hunt last year I had a number of people ask me to send them something in word format because they couldn't use their tools on a PDF (and they're too lazy to enter you into their system manually and because they want to edit your resume directly to make you look more attractive to the employer (and therefore get themselves those sweet sweet placement $$$) by making poo poo up wholesale).

Did Matisyuhaha ever explain why his parents chose to be poor? redweird posted:Elect me as a benevolent dictator and set up a bunch of gulags. I'm talking gulags for people who stand on the right side of the escalator, gulags for people who get on the train before people get off, gulags for the people who did a bad job building the gulags. That's my platform and if you don't like it there's probably a gulag for you, too. You've got my vote. edit: you had me at "gulag"
