    I'm sure there's a country you can pay off with all your capital. Why don't y'all go there and show us what you can do.

    Ah yes, because the alternative, a racist guy who does Muslim bans, is going to be so much better. In the first-past-the-post, electoral college US, that's all you're going to get.

    We're not under the stars; we are amongst the stars, surrounded by the stars, encircled (ensphered?) on all sides.

    and they have better access to healthcare than Americans,

    Totally inaccurate for mental healthcare. No insurance covers psychology or counseling. Psychiatry is covered to a degree but is a check and pills which, alone, is not helpful in most cases.

    We have long waits her, too, generally. It's also still quite expensive here. If you don't speak fluent japanese, also be prepared to spend a lot (my therapy was the same as my monthly rent, over 100k yen), but that's a non-issue for most people in Japan

    Why is an unstable jackass who is going to not only brandish but shoot inside a store over an argument even allowed anywhere near a weapon?

    Costco Japan (at least around greater Tokyo) also tend to hire people who speak at least some English in addition to Japanese. However, these people also have to deal with Costco Japan (super packed, people with huge carts and zero situational awareness blocking whole aisles whilst faffing about on their phone not even shopping, etc.), so that definitely requires a premium. I go once every few months and always want to pull my hair out.

    In my experience (had a Costco membership near Columbus, OH before moving to Japan, have been to 1 Costco many times after coming), yes.

    farmers and others also may drive quite a lot in vehicles on their own properties without ever touching a road. If it's purely for roads and not, say, including a carbon tax or something, that seems rather unfair.

    The R pops up for the same reason "no smorking" is a thing. That O sound can get a bit confusing depending upon what's near it and usual patterns. It tends to crop up when the O is a long vowel in the furigana. The L/R thing is everpresent.
