Well, it works until it doesn't because the website is overloaded. $20 gets you in through the VIP door and you don't need to wait along with the rest of the peasants.
So this is going to make them poorer and cut an income source for the country as well.
I won't claim to know anything else about Japan. Would love to visit, but I'm not sure I'd love to be part of its economy as a salary man.
Real title is: "Daniel Sanabria, psychologist: ‘The best predictor of professional success isn’t cognitive performance, it’s whether your parents have money’"
This has been my experience as well. But I started through an easier path, by working out and improving my health.
[1]"Prediabetes happens when your blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Prediabetes usually occurs in people who already have some insulin resistance."
So, it doesn't sound right that he would be pre-diabetic when his blood glucose levels would be low. Seems that doctor made the assumption that because his blood insulin was low, his body would just stop producing it at some point, and that's not how it works.

The only way I can think of that America coerces its citizens to stay, is that you still need to pay income taxes regardless of where you live.
I think the biggest hurdle is the Americans themselves, thinking that living in South America would be like living in a slum, or in the middle of the jungle. I assure you, you'll find a great life living in Buenos Aires, or in many cities within Argentina, that have nothing to envy from many American small cities.
It's not NYC or Dallas, of course. And you'll have to do without many gadgets, and learn to live in a turbulent economy, which can be tough for some people. But the reward is that if you earn USD and spend in ARS, the economy won't touch you at all. It might even make it easier.
Eventually your retirement system will crumble. Not tomorrow, not next year, but maybe a couple decades from now. And it's not something you can fix in a year or two.
In a way, they're pretty japanese.
