Please do something already!” “I’ve been holding back for so long, but now my store is going to go out of business.” “The prices probably won’t go down this year. I don’t know what will happen next year. I’ve been in business for over 60 years, but I’ve never seen anything this expensive.” The “relative transaction price” is an indicator of rice prices.

>>1 Eggs and vegetables like cabbage are also skyrocketing! Plus, electricity, kerosene, and gasoline bills! This might be the last straw for businesses that are dying from invoices.
Those who say they will not tolerate an increase in rice prices no matter what are just saying that farmers should drink water, fill their stomachs, and donate rice to us lol, so it’s ridiculous and I can’t stand being a farmer.
The easiest way to raise the salaries of Japanese people is to “destroy small and medium-sized businesses one by one.” Even if 99 out of 100 full-time employees become non-regular employees or work for Uber, public servants are bold enough to say that “wages in the private sector have risen” if only the full-time employees’ salaries are increased.
It’s fine if things have been cheap up until now. The prices have suddenly gone up so much. It’s clear that the government is completely incompetent. No wonder this country is heading for ruin.
Gasoline prices will also rise as subsidies are no longer in place, and food shipping costs will continue to rise, so it’s not going to get any better.
