I was a classmate of 有道 出人, do you know him? He seemed to become angry about his time working in Japan and kind of made a living of it.

I don't believe we've ever met but I am familiar with some of his activism/etc.

I know the Japanese economy has problems, but reading about that level of wasted work, I wonder how they’re not even bigger.

Does the US have corporate waste we’re blind to with roughly similar levels of magnitude? Or do Japanese companies compensate by doing other things much more efficiently?
