Interesting. Why are USA so wealthy and Japan so poor? Dozen

>South Korea
>notoriously poor
But that's just false.

Yanks have low IQ

S. Korea and Japan try to maximize throughput. USA tries to maximize profit. The asian model is more stable, but not necessarily better in the long run. The American model would be better if we invested the profit wisely (we don't though).

Revealing Korea is poor triggered you but Italy didn't? Google image searched "seoul ghetto". Maybe you or your parents escaped this same notorious poverty to USA?

I'll take the American way over the European or Asian way any day of the week. There's a reason why everyone dreams of immigrating to USA and no-one cares about immigrating to Europe or Asia.

Japan is soooo nice to live. Then life span become long.
26% of Japanese is 65 years old or upper now. They don't work.
In the case, GDP per capita doesn't rise.

This is a chart of USD/JPY.
Currency rate changes well every year. It's a price of money game.
So ranking with dollar changes well.

>tfw no disposable income

You have disposable freedom that you can convert to disposable income! Many Europeans cannot say the same.

Unemployment rate is 2.9% in Japan now.
Pushing down the rate is important for countries that population density is high, like Japan.
Therefore the Japan government doesn't set minimum hourly-wage higher.

this place is a fucking shithole.

japan's working age population is shrinking at the fastest rate in the world, meaning that many households live on pension, which is lower than working age's income.

europe and america make up for shrinking native population by bringing in immigrants, so their demographic decline is slower than japan's. as for korea, though their birthrate is among the lowest in the world nowadays, it had quite a high rate until the mid 80's, so their population is still relatively young compared to japan (iirc, their demography is similar to 90's japan). remember, when japan's demography was better in the 70-90's, it's literally unstoppable both in per capita and sheer size.

This thread is about USA not about any poorer country. Next time I won't specifically mention your country so we can discuss USA in peace.

This is median. Over half of your population makes less than minimum wage?
>>76501942
>working age.png
Those are 2-8% differences compared to Japan while the OP chart gives 10-50% differences compared to Japan for the same countries.
>>76502278
No real ghettos like that anywhere here or in USA or in Japan. But this thread is about income and wealth?
