This was not a small part of my reverse culture shock when I moved back to the US. Cheap, ubiquitous, and tasty food available 24/7 has a lot of merits. Not to mention there are no blue laws in Japan that limit when alcohol can be sold

The natural conclusion is that jobs (at least in the US) are a type of labor market. There is push and pull on both sides. During the pandemic, the market heavily favored employees. The market now favors employers. The direction of the pric
