itt: Americans angry they will never experience this level of empathy
Some things I hear about Japan makes me feel like we should be more like the Japanese. But then I remember what their work culture is like.
Imo it's okay to take pieces of other cultures to improve your own. I know there are people who are against that, but if someone else is doing something better than you, I really don't see why it'd be an issue to take the pieces that make it work and incorporate it into your own culture.
Hopefully nobody's gonna say that being less entitled is cultural appropriation!
Our work culture is worse. They have some worker protections, and healthcare isn't tied to employment.

I think it would only happen because a kid caught the ball
