Japan's post-COVID reality: Paying workers to come to the office.
Bonuses for coming to the office for a certain number of days.
"The only caveats are workers have to work in the office for more than 4 hours a day and can only collect the bonuses for 10 days per month."

Trump promised to rebuild America's infrastructure, but he did nothing.
Trump promised to revive American manufacturing, but he did nothing.
What did Trump actually deliver?
Tax breaks for the wealthy and justices who stripped away reproductive rights.
The choice is clear:
![[Red Text] When Donald Trump left office, 3 years after he gave a huge tax break to big corporations and wealthy lobbyists, and 11 months after he recklessly downplayed COVID’s threat, the economy was down millions of jobs and 3,000 people were dying every day.
[Blue Text] Under Joe Biden:
• Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan, which jumpstarted the economy, reopened schools, and vaccinated the country. Democrats followed that up with historic investments in U.S. infrastructure and manufacturing.
• Democrats also passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which brought down prescription drug prices. Inflation is now significantly lower than when Ronald Reagan bragged about “Morning in America” during his 1984 reelection campaign.
• Wages are rising faster than inflation, a key part of Joe Biden’s plan to rebuild the economy from the bottom up and the middle out, not the top down.
• The economy has added 14 million jobs and unemployment has been below 4% for 21 straight months, the longest stretch of sub-4% unemployment in 50 years.
