The USA has a lot of things that its neighbors (even the far away ones) should adopt, but the country is also lacking in some areas, and that is what this popular Reddit thread is here to discuss. Let's state a few of the obvious, like the tax system, the bathroom stalls, and public transportation… see, in the comment section, Japan was mentioned more than once, and we can't help but wonder why. Japan is pretty rad, that we already know, but still, why was it brought up so frequently?

So we did some more digging in the comment section and came across a lot of comments that made sense. You can scroll down to check out the fiery thread for yourself. While we're on this topic, we might mention that we also have an article with some of the most blunt, unpopular opinions we found on the r/unpopularopinion sub, so feel free to check it out as well.

    Font - Visual_Sport_950 · 18 hr. ago In Japan there is a service that you can call 24hrs/day that will come with 2 drivers 1 car. One driver drives you and your car home, the other follows in their car to pick up the driver that took you home with your car. No DUI ect. Its actually really affordable there. No need to get an uber home that night then an uber back the next day when you are hung over only to find out you have a million parking tickets or your car got towed. Reply Share 4.2k

    Font - michiman 12 hr. ago Decent healthcare that isn't tied to your job. Other countries all over the world have figured out different ways to do this, so why can't we? (I know, corporations own politicians) I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing it would destabilize a bunch of industries in the near term. But I wonder if long-term, it would create so much new innovation since people would be unafraid to lose their health benefits to leave their stable but shitty corporate jobs to start new ventur

    Font - kojinB84 18 hr. ago I like how in Japan the schools basically have the kids clean up after themselves and take care of their school. They don't have janitors and children serve their peers lunch, too. Plus, their lunches always look amazing compared to the highly processed foods my child gets here. My son and I pick up trash around our area. The middle school by us is always covered in trash. Give some responsibility and respect to our planet. Reply Share 1.8k

    Font - KimmieB123 15 hr. ago I keep seeing people in the US being charged ridiculous fees to apply for a rental property and then up not being successful in their application. The UK has banned these fees and it seems a much more fair way of doing things. Reply Share 616

    Font - radiantpenguin991 - 16 hr. ago • Universal school lunches. It is embarrassing that we do not have folks cooking lunches for students from scratch, and that it is not provided for free to all students. You want to bring your own lunch? Great, but you can also have the free hot lunch that looks homemade, not pizza squares, canned veggies and a slice of a fruit

    Font - and 3 oz of milk. Kids shouldn't be going into debt for lunch. We're probably wealthy enough that our food waste alone would be sufficient to, if captured magically, to feed every kid in the United States three proper meals per day. • Walkable cities. • Above ground monorail systems. 454 Reply Share
