  • Japanese houses depreciate like cars - which is way more sustainable than the US train wreck

    This is almost entirely not due to policies but almost entirely to Japanese economy being stagnant for the last 20 years whereas the US economy has grown almost every year for the last 20 years.

    I also live in a stagnant country, and it’s not great that you have to sell the house you bought 10 years ago with the same price or cheaper to get it off your hands. And also it’s not great that the general wealth in the society is not growing.

    When people from where I live visit USA, even when they go to not so rich states, they notice that everything and everyone is more wealthy. It’s an incredible thing and apparently something you can only understand if you experience the alternative.

    Therapy attendance rates have been in steep rise since 2000. So everyone’s mental health is obviously improving at the same rate.

    Sarcasm aside, I think therapy should be as ubiquitous as open heart surgeries. Sure, go there if you need it, but perhaps not that many people need it and perhaps it should be last resort thing instead of an everyday solution.
