@AscendedYield A recent invention and not globally true either. Japanese students would be very upset at not securing a single graduate role. Literally everything boils down to the relationship between capital and labour, and by extension the supply of both.
@Dmdav1 Yeah completely agree we need to tighten the labour market to force companies to pay higher wages. Net negative 1mn immigration should do it I reckon!
@BlackTigershar@Nigel333 I’m not sure why you’d claim to be Japanese when typing in patently obviously non-native Japanese and admitting as much in your bio though…
@BlackTigershar@Nigel333@UKinJapan I appreciate your efforts in learning Japanese and I hope you continue to do your best! That said, if you think the main issue is her pitch accent as opposed to, for example, the way she stutters through basic grammatical constructions you still have a way to go!

I can’t find a single video of Corin speaking Japanese, and if you can watch this video 4 weeks ago of Julia reading a speech and tell me she’s fluent, you either don’t understand Japanese or you don’t understand what fluent means.
@Tom_Nicholas Ones thing for certain, it clearly has nothing to do with immigration. Because why would companies’ ability to import experienced labour below market rate impact the incentives for training employees.
@bythewatersedge The classic bot position that the Foreign office should have more stringent language requirements out of respect for the countries who allow us embassies and consulates?
Some people enjoy understated lurking my friend.
@resfoundation Note that in a grand total of 0 of these years did we anything remotely like a balanced budget. “We took out shit tons of debt for luxuries in the past, why shouldn’t we do that now!”
@BohunkSupremacy@Arnold_Platon It’s all about incentives. You fix the problem by fixing the incentive structure, and sometimes what is needed to fix the incentive structure is a big stick.
@toshizoaraki@omame_tofu1022@C4Dbeginner One important difference is the way national holidays are between the UK and Japan. It’s normal for entry level jobs to have 25 days of free use holiday (+ 8 national holiday). It’s also very normal to take 2 week long breaks and no one is judged for it!
@tropicalgreekSS Ah nice, that’s similar to mine. Lived in Japan a while ago but thinking of going back and touring these sorts of bars but a little worried about the reception given the tourism levels. Do you think if you were more 上手 you’d have been allowed in or was it clearly no foreigners?
