go broke on the international exchange
tied to an aging population and declining tech advantage (read gone)
1. The Currency “Collapse” on the International Exchange
The Japanese Yen has faced a historic decline, dropping past 160 to nearly 180 Yen per USD. [1, 2]
- The Debt Trap: Japan’s public debt sits at a staggering 240%+ of GDP. To stop the government from going broke under the weight of interest payments, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) has historically had to suppress bond yields. [1, 2]
- The Exchange Rate Penalty: Because the BOJ keeps domestic interest rates artificially low (around 1%) while global central banks (like the US Federal Reserve) keep rates much higher, investors relentlessly dump the Yen to buy Dollars. Massive, multi-billion-dollar government currency interventions have repeatedly failed to save the Yen because they treat the symptom rather than the underlying fiscal debt. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

ilnow multiple people personally (4 atm) with some variation of a 4 year bio degree from a respectable program
none of them work in their field
most one was making was like 35k a year in a lab with a directly relevant degree
- Comment on Costly Disappointment 💸 3 weeks ago:
everything not related to some grift (ai or ai adjacent, ice etc) or dod/dow or exploiting healthcare seems to be in a slump right now in America
i wonder why, is it the stupid high fuel input costs or the fact non billionaires are so broke most spending is only immediately essential, or that no one wants to buy American goods post tariff and cutting all quality assurance post dodge fucker
- Comment on Costly Disappointment 💸 3 weeks ago:
so what you do is research what jobs are needed in your area and do a degree in that
you have to keep up on this sadly all 4 years
and even then you need to be willing to move and should probably take a generally applicable field like engineering
all of this really requires some kind of support group at the age of 17/18
beyond that you have to actually focus on learning the material at the oversped rate likely to the exclusion of anything remotely fun
that said there are multiple job openings for system engineers starting post 4 year degree about 100k

same idea, oblique carnivores have special teeth
either way the counter argument to my thought was weasels and would work for eye location as well
- Comment on Wait, you mean workers *don't* love the automatic dumbass machines that constantly threaten their jobs? 5 weeks ago:
the problem with ai isn’t the concept, wikipedia is great
the problem is it is not deterministic, often factually wrong and being used by the rich to still workers pay
- Comment on Bunnies are metal 5 weeks ago:
i get the point you are making, and i concede it
but i was specifically thinking mammal given the context and for which teeth would make it obvious
even the smaller ones, cats in natural habitats come to mind are apex, and i remember learning the avoidance of eating them had to do with parasite avoidance when other food was available
I did not realize weasels were obligate carnivores and bats were a great example as well
- Comment on Bunnies are metal 5 weeks ago:
aren’t most obligate carnivores not directly eaten often?
