    Oh yea we hate cash society here. We all really want the corporations to know exactly what we use all our money for, it's great!

    Excluding bullet trains, these are just bazinga-brained Disney world attractions. Could have put mixed use zoning on the front, and toxic grindset work culture on the back.

        Probably not, but it's also shorthand for something everybody understands, even the bazinga-brained, so it's not hard to clarify

        I got what it meant the first time I heard it so I figured it was fine to use.

    People in the US still don't believe me that there are DVD rental stores everywhere in Japan. Although the wildest low tech thing I've seen though is one time I had to go to a rural post office out in Gifu prefecture and the workers there had honest to goodness abacuses instead of cash registers.

    The use of hanko seals also kinda baffles me.
