But does it have anything to do with Deming? Korea, for example, is as bad, and maybe worse given their alcohol culture; they just don't get any cutesy terms like 'karoshi'. Or consider this recent followup about a famous American bonsai master who learned in Japan, and learned such brutal lessons from his master that he's driven away all would-be American apprentices: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/11/21/the-beautiful-brutal-world-of-bonsai https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/11/21/the-beautiful-... Are we going to blame bonsai on Deming now?

I'm not doing well enough to create safe living conditions for myself, let alone those I care about.
