>>1 The minimum wage has gone up, the number of days I work has been reduced, and my income is falling. Before ignoring the recession and forcing wage increases, they should cut taxes and expand fiscal spending to create a booming economy. Then wages will naturally rise.
Even if we raise the minimum wage, lazy people won’t work. Japan’s welfare system is too high. If we abolish the welfare system, lazy people will start working.
>>6 Are those who dream of living on welfare a recluse? There’s no way they’re going to raise the minimum wage for the sake of lazy people Even if they work, they’re being driven to the brink by high prices Raise it even more

Many small and medium-sized Japanese companies have a global market share, so among those who say it’s okay for small and medium-sized companies to go bankrupt, there are also those who are trying to destroy them and buy them at a low price, so don’t be easily fooled by the statement that it’s okay for them to go bankrupt. The Japanese government, which has given up so much Japanese technology, won’t protect them.
Despite the labor shortage, wages have barely increased. The labor market is still not tight. Companies are not taking risks to expand. That is the current state of the Japanese economy.
