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

    South Korean work culture today is like Japan in the 1990's bad.

              Came here to say the same thing.

              The UK is also a "soft" one-party state and therefore the Tories are kinda big tent. Therefore Conservatives will legalize gay marriage or even compete with Labour in Wales for building low carbon housing.

            Yeah, working conditions in Japan are/were just that fucked up. The country literally can't maintain it's population and the conditions of the average worker are a big part of that problem.
