Did you know that Japan is only the 38th richest country in the world, behind Poland, Lithuania, and South Korea?

Why are we so poor?

I've never met or even heard of a wealthy anime enjoyer. Anime is worse than heroin.

GDP is a meme
we don't have a real estate bubble like the west, so we have lower GDP, but people can afford rent/housing.

The ones that are usually got rich of crypto, or had rich parents. Japan's second biggest export right now is tourism, what Japan did is they ran their prints like no country ever has before and built cities that far exceeded their growth because they thought they could continue to print debt to buy debt and so on without any issue if the debt is public. Look at what country did quantitative easing first, you can't have a housing crisis in a country like this you have the opposite: deflation. An excess of property with no one to fill it with the only solution being to continue building random public works to keep the debt train going. At this point their central bank owns both the country, the stock market, and their government. This is somewhere between a reverse-repo and a potemkin village, I have never seen such a comically fake economy, even Zimbabwe wasn't this bad their entire credit system is held together by US T-bonds.

Daniel Lord (hiding in my room) said Japanese people are rude and he never wants to go to Japan ever again.

The minimum wage in Japan is set by prefecture, with Tokyo having the highest minimum wage, although Tokyo's minimum wage is lower than that of Slovenia and Poland. Japan is poorer than some Eastern European countries.

This is falsely inflated bullshit numbers, if we were this wealthy why does every skilled worker fuck off to Australia, Canada or America?
