Agree it’s like 50’s America is some ways , I’v been saying that since I moved here in 1985 .

“And they aren’t corrupt like the US Politicians.”

Beg to differ here . Corruption abounds in government and the corporate world .

I don’t think you understand the level of corruption in the USA.

we probably have more grift and fraud than the entire Japanese GDP.

BTW: Where are you in Japan?

My wife is from Yokohama and her mom’s family is in Ueda.

I prefer the country farmhouse. It’s classic Japan. But Yokohama is very nice and convenient. It’s a tough choice.

No question Japan is more corrupt. Mob-owned pols and corporate suites aren’t a thing in the US. People watch idealized chanbara and jidaigeki productions, think these are representative of everyday Japan.
