  1. I quit watching at 1:48 due to your virtue signaling. You're confused, you've probably never read an economics book, and your understanding of why you can have universal healthcare for "free" is completely fantasy land. Japanese pay for subsided healthcare by working longer and harder than they otherwise would have had to. Many children miss out on having their fathers at home because they're at work paying for your $2 school lunch. My family is Japanese, additional private healthcare cost us 8000 for a family of four in Japan yet you neglected to mention this type of cost that defer costs to you. We also lived in Australia where "free" universal healthcare costs are deferred by a woefully underfunded pathetic University system. Something you probably don't understand. Lastly we've also lived in the USA, where multicultrealim makes it impossible to implement anything close to a Japanese system of school or healthcare. You also neglected to mention the controlled IQ studies inside and outside Japan the correlate with your standard of living. Stop crapping on about something you know nearly nothing of (economics) and have not bothered to research. You're way of thinking is actually quite dangerous and is helping destroy the West in the the West. NOTE: I also work at University in both the West and East. I understand the research well.

  2. Children healthcare is not free and lunches are not $2. Healthcare costs whatever the goods and services required to provide it cost to produce - to extract from human labor, the environment, etc... My point is you began by virtue signaling. Your point of Universal healthcare is a relative point - relative to the USA I assume. Or your point of a $2 lunch. You do know that Japan spends LESS per student than most countries? Certainly less than the USA (about $3500 less per student per year). So? How is it that Japan outperforms the USA? Could it be E. Asian genetics and higher inherent IQ? I will return to this video and watch it in its entirety since you took the time to reply to me. But think of this: To subsidize your child's free healthcare, maybe 10 young female Japanese work 50 hour weeks and are unable to even afford families of their own, because they're the ones paying. Starting to see the problem here? To subsidize a school lunch, maybe 20 fathers have to work weekends, not being there for their daughters - many of whom fail to thrive in life. Just stop and think. You have a HUGE platform. If you were some small nobody channel, then this would be a non-issue. But you are big channel and you need to do some research and stop and think about some of these issues. They're quite important. Just maybe what you think is a good thing, is in fact a harmful thing. Someone pays - and if it's not the buyer, then it's often a lot more. Perhaps read this, its not long: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_to_Serfdom (plenty of PDF's of the book are available online).
