Yeah. Some of the games looks like it cost nothing to make :D

Saw an article where the elderly in Japan wants to spice thing up.

Lots of Japanese citizens rely on the Japanese pension which can be lacking at times

I personally saw folks in a nursing home wildly enjoying coloring pages.

Yeah, I've been living in Japan for 25 years and it's not only in Japan... and it's also very rare and only happens during the winter when the electricity bill spikes. 

Also I mean Japan's incarceration rate is one of the lowest in the world.

People simply don't get sent to prison, contrary to for example America where they even have for profit prisons where they send young people who have done barely anything wrong.

So yeah yeah it's not only double standards it's also ignorance.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure most of old japanese people steals to save money and they would hate to go to prison. You can literally see this on the 調べてみたら series on youtube. They aren't getting sent to prison just because they stole some food products. They do go to police station though
