    The Japanese government drops the ball all the time. I don’t think they’ve ever even actually held it.

    Bunch or clueless dinosaurs together.

      I think you could say the same for a lot of countries. Even the ones that seem to know what they’re doing make braindead decisions sometimes.

        Japan is almost uniquely bad though. A super aged population and a society that values conformance over anything else results in agonizingly slow and absurd government reactions.

        They need 4 committee meetings each morning just to drink tea: one for to pick the teams, one team meeting to pick the tea, and another team meeting to pick the cup. There’s a final meeting at the end to discuss the costs associated with the tea and how to more properly distribute it according to rank and social standing, as one does.
