If South Korea is supposed to be the shining counterpoint to communism/socialism, then it's a pretty grim future awaiting the rest of us. Like the present wasn't grim and depressing enough.
And yes, NK is below 2,1 replacement ratio too, for the nitpicky folks.
You are counterpointing with a dying society mate. For what is 40,000 USD GDP, when you have unaffordable housing, toxic work culture, Toxic society, toxic body standards, toxic education standards?
Does it make it worse than NK? Not quite. However, it's not that better mate.

Billionaires — in either party — should not be able to buy elections.
That is not democracy. That is a corrupt campaign finance system.
We need to end Citizens United. We need to get super PACs out of our elections. We need public funding of elections.
0 bad games, maybe. Matter of taste.
The rest? Absolute horseshit. You know Counter Strike is from Valve? That game, where some people gamble thousands of dollars, if not more on cases for skins.
And somehow I doubt there were 0 controversies with Valve. Oh wait, the trash AC
I can run cracked games that are delisted and emulate entire platforms when Steam is offline.
The console becomes a soft brick when the central network goes down.
Understand?
I can think of hundred responses, like sad cat pictures, sad emojis, outdated memes with a sad guy, sad TV scenes, etc. that would be much better than this crappy response. If he has been spamming it, then you can just show his other tweets " Don't worry, we got it the 1st time"
"Bigger job security" Get the fuck out of here.
Japanese companies make people feel ostracized, feel left out of collective, don't give them any assignments until they leave on their own, so they don't have to classify it as a "firing".
The West work culture is superior to JAP
Former God of War writer Alanah Pearce spoke with Shuhei Yoshida about why Japanese game developers often have more job security than developers in the West.
One big reason is Japan’s labor laws, it’s much harder for companies to fire permanent employees unless certain conditions are met.
Yoshida explained that some Japanese companies may stop giving employees work and encourage them to find another job, while still paying them.
Japan also has a shrinking workforce, so experienced developers are harder to replace and companies keep their staff and offer better pay.
Nintendo gave employees a 10% pay increase in 2023, while Capcom raised average salaries by 5% and starting salaries by 28% in 2024.
And it's gonna take hundreds, if not thousands of years to rebuild back. Because urbanism is evil and it breeds spineless, dumb, and weak people. When the only purpose of life is to make money, the civilization will collapse. Immigration is a temporary duct tape...

They really don't care. Even if it were to wipe millions. Fear is, was, and always will be the currency of the Homo Sapiens. ( FYI: Soviets went wild on innocents in gulags too, but is it righteous to experiment on your people, without consent?)
@unyxfly I still am thinking ( more like inhaling copium) that the devs are intentionally letting AI loose for marketing purposes. The money is rolling in AI sector. Same as the military complex, what are few casualties for the supremacy over China? They don't care about ordinary folks.
