With full health coverage, people in Japan can pursue simpler jobs and get by, with more free time for artistic endeavors.

- marcus_holmes 10mo agoMost other countries have full health coverage, it's really just the USA that has such a broken health system. That doesn't mean we do more art. I am considered unusual because I sketch, badly. I think it's this "why would you do something you're bad at?" attitude in our western culture that kills it for us.
- bsder 10mo agoAnd, yet, a Japanese mangaka living in squalid poverty with shitty health is practically a stereotypical meme.
- lucyjojo 10mo agooh, they have full health coverage. hell, i had full health coverage when i was an unemployed foreigner in japan.
