South Korea's likely new President, Yoon Suk-yeol, believes:
-The work week should be 120 hours, not 52 -Food safety standards should be eliminated because "poor people should be allowed to eat substandard food for lower prices" -There should be no legal minimum wage
damn, their standard workweek is already 52 hours? and they want to increase it? :proletariat:
South Korean work culture today is like Japan in the 1990's bad.
Isn't Japan like that now?
Not as bad as it was 30 years ago.
