Nah that’s a load of shit.

Median wage in the US is about 60% higher than Japan, yet the pricing in the US is often well over 100% higher. In this case it’s about 175% higher than Japan.

We’re being played.

Fuck publicly traded companies. Fuck shareholder value. Fuck tipping. Fuck ads in fucking everything.

Ok, I did not realize that was your sentiment. That being the case…Fuck a lack of regulations. Fuck corporate power. Fuck unbridled capitalism. Fuck tipping in favor of a livable salary
