I was just in Japan in April. Was so nice getting 1.5x the money I brought. Especially because things are also not marked up like here in America. For example, a small bottle of Jameson whiskey was 1100-1200 yen, which in April at that exchange rate was about $7.33-7.50. Came back home in California and the same bottle was $15. So not only did the exchange rate work in my favor, but their products also didn’t cost as much. Was a great 2 weeks out there man.

That’s what the exchange rate means. You can buy more stuff in Japan than in America. The reason the Whiskey is more expensive in America isn’t corporate greed, it costs more to get it to you in America. Rent for the grocery store and warehouses are more expensive, labor for anyone who has to handle it is more, gas to move it around is more and assuming it’s made in another country to mitigate most of these expenses, it still has to be shipped across an ocean or over a boarder, plus American taxes and tariffs and California has additional taxes on alcohol and tabacco products.

@@goatfood1504 ???? Jameson is American, it def costs less to get it to you in America than Japan. Price is dictated by supply and demand, not COST. It has to do with spending power. Most companies at least those with high margins will fluctate the price to match the country's demand, that's why games on steam have different prices based on Region. Brasil is very poor and can't afford to pay 60 dollars for a triple a game so they charge 15 bucks and therefore it's win win. However there's some caveat, something called arbitrage. Some people will abuse this and buy things in those countries import them in the US for example and charge American prices for that product. So usually electronics does not follow this principle, like iphones will be more or less the same price everywhere. So what about the iphone in Japan, they willl have to raise the price otherwise they could lose a lot of money ( I just checked and they did increase by 25% in 2022 so they may do it again).

@@stt.9433 Jameson is an Irish whiskey, it’s made in Dublin Ireland. Price is a function of supply and demand, but the cost is that dictates whether supply will be generated to meet the demand. If it were profitable to produce and sell whiskey for cheaper someone would do it, but the cost to produce the whiskey means only demand that can pay at a certain price point will be met. There is not a fixed “supply” of Whiskey, it’s a function of market forces interacting. There can be short time where there is a glut or shortage, but market forces this will reach equilibrium assuming relatively stable market conditions. Addressing your point about it being cheaper to service American customers; why? Everything is cheaper in Japan right now (relative to the dollar not Japanese wages), this means Jameson’s Japanese division will have much lower distribution and advertising expenses, which allows them to sell at a lower price point and still remain profitable. Addressing your video game comparison, the cost to produce one unit of a video game in the modern world is Zero, this effectively places the “supply” of the video game entirely in the hands of the producer as each video game is on some level distinct from alternative, which is fundamentally very different than tangible consumables like Whiskey.

A whisky company cannot do this, if someone could produce and sell Whiskey in the U.S. for cheaper they would do it, there is no (at least legal) agreement to set a price higher to exploit demand.

In the time domain, supply is a function of cost and demand is a function of price, when there is a difference between the cost of goods sold and the price a consumer is willing to pay a transaction will occur when the cost is higher than the price someone is willing to pay there is no possibility for profit and no transactions will occur.

As someone who moved to Japan and lives here, it fucking sucks just thinking about the work culture. It is fucking terrible. On top of the fact that you get paid poorly thanks to the yen, it just feels so inefficient and a tremendous waste of life and time to commit to such a old fashioned culture. It is genuinely just bad. It doesn't accomplish anything other than sucking up to superiors and MAYBE contribute to increase workplace morale.

For the 3 months in 2020 I worked in my current position before moving to remote work full time, I talked to my boss about leaving early to beat rush hour traffic, and she was on board. But I ended up feeling guilty leaving when she was still there, even though since I didn't take a lunch (and I'm salaried) I had worked a full 8 hours. So I started timing my morning commute to be in the office before she was, just so I could leave early. If I ran behind and she was already there, I'd end up staying until she left. Of course, no actual additional work got done on the longer day... just literally trying to give the appearance that I was working more

There is a demographic transition happening in basically every country before and after it got industrialized. Before the standard of living is very poor and birthrates are insanely high. After the birthrates drop to a point where there are not enough kids per couple to keep the population curve bell shaped (many young people few old people), not even cylindrical (equal age distribution) and the main factor of this are child mortality rates are low enough for people to only have one kid and also there is no need for kids since if youre old you can (in most developed countries) still live by yourself without needing children to provide for you. Also live expectancy rises during that process so while less children are born the older people also dont die as young anymore and the curve gets inverse bell shaped

Totally relate to the sentiment "the people working long hours aren't producing good work". I'm nowadays skeptical with people who brag about their time lost and whether it's due to them working inefficiently and ineffectively. Like why were you up at 3am working on something? Did you put too much on your own plate and didn't admit to it? I don't want them to work a long time; I want them to have good work-life balance, be transparent with their capabilities and timelines, and deliver on their own promises.

What actually affects birth rates are things like cultural attitude and access to contraceptives. Its just saying that the pill and feminism is the issue isn't going to fly.

Well you're close, but not quite there...

One thing I am confused about is the idea that people aren’t having kids because they can’t afford them. Global poverty has declined on all levels since the 1890s. People are wealthier now than they have ever been. We have less now than our parents, but our parents had fewer kids than their parents before them despite having more. People aren’t having kids for cultural reasons, not because of money. Not that finances don’t play a large role, of course. You have to make large sacrifices of living locations and lifestyle to have kids right now. But it’s not like people actually cannot afford kids. It’s that people cannot afford kids AND have the lifestyle they want. Which is a cultural shift from where we were 200 years ago where kids and family took priority over money in most peoples lives. Another big factor is birth control, women’s equality, higher expected standard of living and industrialization. Kids are also no longer helpful for industry like they were on a farm. Happy to hear thoughts on this, my opinion hasn’t been fully formed yet so I’m curious to hear what other people think.

Japan was a great country when it had half the population, and chasing babies/immigrants to keep that GDP numbie going up is an unsustainable infinite growth mindset that is poisoning the minds of governments across the world, not just in Japan.
