Sounds lovely. But why do you spend all of your time on an American running website pissing into the wind? If Japan is so wonderful, why do you live such a pathetic life that you can post incessantly about how awful America is?
49 and retired is why. "Pathetic" = dirt cheap everything, beautiful/fit women, two homes (one in the most sought after hood in Tokyo - kichijoji - the other a beach house in Chigasaki in revered Shonan coastline, Sagami Bay). I cycle and run whenever I want, which is a lot. Surf, SUP, boogie boards. Skiing now. Got it all.
But you, me, and all of us here seem to be spending an equal amount time pissing in the wind, only you are paying a ton more for healthcare, rent, and most everything. And you dolts are scarred so bad from users past, that you think usernames are out to get you now. Is the username in the room with you right now? Did you HEAR THAT?!?!!!
Who is the real winner here?
You constipated Fox/CNN sheeple paying more for everything while being paranoid delusional in forums? Uh huh...
How is sending billions to Ukraine helping average americans?
Because people in countries that aren't sending money to endless, multiple fake wars are saving more than americans, living healthier and happier lives, and coming out on top.

How does Japan sending the US billions of dollars help the average Japanese?
170 square foot apartments? I think most prison cells are larger than that.

Nope, that's not it.
According to this website, the cost of living in Japan is higher than in the US (so, no, not dirt cheap everything), but the average salary is only 60% of the US.
But, congratulations in renting a closet in Tokyo. I’ll take my 6000 square foot summer lake house any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
Weird, Carmine posts a link to May 2022 and claims the UN admits it has no evidence, but here's an article from October about how they have all the evidence. It sounds like someone has been caught lying again.
Since this website lists the US for Ukraine, where the US is not actively involved, but only supplied weapons, then I guess the Soviet Union gets credit for pretty much every war on your list, as the overwhelming majority of them have Soviet era weaponry. Did the USSR sell them AK-47s? Then the Russians are responsible for all deaths in that country in perpetuity.
The Russian MoD’s attempts to claim Russian forces responded to the December 31 Ukrainian strike against Russian positions in Makiivka are generating further discontent in the Russian information space. The Russian MoD announced on January 8 that Russian forces conducted a “retaliation operation” against Ukrainian forces for the December 31 strike on Makiivka that killed up to 400 mobilized soldiers due to Russian command failures and poor personnel dispersal practices.[1] The Russian MoD falsely claimed the retaliatory strike targeted several temporary Ukrainian deployment points in Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, and killed over 600 Ukrainian personnel.[2] This claim is false — a Finnish reporter visited the site of the strike in Kramatorsk on January 8 and noted that it hit an empty school.[3] Several Russian milbloggers responded negatively to the Russian MoD’s claim, pointing out that the Russian MoD frequently presents fraudulent claims and criticizing Russian military leadership for fabricating a story to “retaliate” for the Makiivka strike instead of holding Russian leadership responsible for the losses accountable.[4]

As I said, your source is garbage.
Clearly Japan is responsible for all of this. Every conflict in the past 70 years can be traced directly to Japanese aggression in the 20th century.
Thanks for answering. If true, that's great for you and your wife, $200! I have been away for years but sounds dirt cheap for america. Still, we pay half that (my family) for our monthly. What is your deductible?
Also, if you need to actually use it, you lose BIG time, much more than what universal healthcare countries pay for services and consults.
Here's what I found for america:
The average cost of purchasing your own health insurance in this way is US$456 per month
83% of covered American workers have a general annual deductible that must be met before services are funded by their health plan and the average size of a deductible is US$1,644 for individuals
That really blows. Deductibles don't exist in Japan
So you and (americans) pay much more than what we do for healthcare (including deductible) and MUCH MUCH MORE if you ever need to use it.
america has inferior health outcomes across the board in relation to universal healthcare countries (in almost every category).
Do you think sending billions to Ukraine is a way to help average americans save on healthcare?
It seems to be taking your money away, not adding to it. Follow me here... if you have less money to spend, because it is transferring upwards to rich americans, how is that helping you pay for your overpriced healthcare?
And Japanese pay much higher taxes (in general) than Americans do, along with having much lower GDP per capita:
United States $75,180
Japan $48,813
No, we don't.
My taxes (at the same income level) would be higher in america. Our sales tax went up recently but STILL saving tons elsewhere so still coming out way better than you.
You want to waste billions on Ukraine to spend more on taxes than Japan, to pay more for everything else?
That's some some constipated Fox/CNN sheeple logic
Cost of living in Japan is much closer to inflation.
In america, Real Wages have been flat for decades and inflation just keeps going up, getting further away from where average americans actually live
That's why you lead the world in bankruptcies and have more homeless per capita than Russia and China

Japan supports the world's top terrorist, america. But at least people can survive in Japan. They can't in america. (see most bankruptcies and more homeless per capita than Russia and China). Everything is too expensive in america, in relation to Real Wages. In america, Real Wages have been flat for decades and inflation just keeps going up, getting further away from where average americans actually live.
So, how is wasting billions on ukraine going to help average Americans in america?
By making them poorer to make rich americans richer. You really care about rich americans.

170 square foot apartments? I think most prison cells are larger than that.
How does america wasting trillions of dollars over decades of global terrorism for-profit help the average americans in 2023?
Let's compare:
17 - 30 square meter FULL APARTMENT for $400 - 600 / mo (Tokyo)
vs.
10 - 13 square meter BEDROOM IN A SHARED APARTMENT in for $500 - 1000 (major american cities)
You'd rather pay more, get less, FOR EVERYTHING, to be able to kill millions globally, because you REALLY care about rich americans, who make sure YOUR REAL WAGES stay flat, decade after decade.
Constipated Fox/CNN sheeple logic is peaking out right now.
If you are a US citizen like you claim and are working in Japan, you still must pay taxes in the US based on any income earned in the US or abroad. You aren’t a Japanese citizen, that’s for sure.

Not a fan of the mirror. That's why we force you to look at it.
Adjusted for inflation, today's average hourly wage has about as much purchasing power as it did in 1978. Most wage increases have gone to the highest earners.
If you are a US citizen like you claim and are working in Japan, you still must pay taxes in the US based on any income earned in the US or abroad. You aren’t a Japanese citizen, that’s for sure.
No we don't. All americans abroad are exempt under the first 105k/yr. "Foreign Earned Income Exclusion" over 105k, then yes, we are double taxed above that.
If you are a US based citizen, like you claim, you still have to, not have a clue about the world, about america's role in it, about america itself, or about expats living abroad.
Can you pee without wetting the front of your pants?
How is sending billons to ukraine and trillions to endless wars for decades going to help average americans in america?
You should airBNB your closet. But will you allow pets?
Drawer was funnier. Don't downgrade your comedy to closet!
We thought about it briefly (about 2 seconds) but only because our beach house is empty most the time. We don't need the money. We are debt free. No need to fuss with guests and the hassle. Was going to put it on couchsurfing to save a brother some yen but that site is bunk now. CS'ers wanted to be in or around Tokyo anyway.
