No way. It’s tasty for sure. However, Indian foods depend too much on spices and basically have nothing in the sea food department as well as a lack of fine techniques. Also, a lack of variety in forms. Many of them look like puke, frankly speaking.
@paulkrugman
Your analysis is too simplistic. Yes, the number has grown, but the majority of the increase are part time workers who earn less than 15K with no corporate benefits. Many of them are forced to engage in minimum wage jobs in order to fill the hole of decreased household income.

Although they are hardworking even today, unfortunately, their recipe doesn’t work anymore. Those old Japanese corporate culture(e.g. meticulousness of their paperwork, risk aversion, bottom-up and slow decision making process, and too rigid labor markets) got them stuck forever.

activists is that, unlike Europe, people are far more likely to be murdered in a U.S. city than die in a crash.

The fundamental issue with Indian cuisine is all high-heat cooking (fry, grill, oven, deep-fry) and most of them end up in stew like forms. No single raw plates or light flavour plates with Umami. This results in a lack of plates that capitalize a quality of ingredients.
20. Japan's Homeless Rate
Why does Japan have so few homeless?
1. Are they lying with their stats?
2. Doing something unethical?
3. Know something we do not?
Either way -- it's an important question that few are exploring.
That’s a stretch and ignorance. Nowadays you can use CC and electronic payments at many places, especially at convenient stores. giving a cash option is friendly to the elderly, which suits Japanese demographics.

Absolute state-of-the-art but tied to a dead-end technology tree (cash)
@orientalismus
It’s because huge social security and healthcare costs for the elderly (which is more than 1/4 of their population). Japanese firms deduct these expenses before paying salaries to workers. Gdp p.c. would be much higher than even Germany once you adjust those numbers expenses.
NYC is way behind on installing platform screen doors in our subways—technology which protects against pushes, falls, trespassing, dropped smart phones etc.

The 🇺🇦 MP then punched the Russian in the face.
