    Goes to show you cannot ever work hard enough to please capitalists and their lackeys. We could all work 72 hour weeks and they would still find ways to say no one wants to work anymore.

    Tokyo, Oct. 5 (Jiji Press)–Sanae Takaichi, the new leader of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party, on Sunday encouraged reporters to value work-life balance, amid the pros and cons of her remark about the issue the previous day.

    “I’m working, but today is Sunday,” Takaichi told reporters after meeting with LDP supreme adviser Taro Aso at the party headquarters.

    In a speech after winning the party leadership election on Saturday, Takaichi declared that she would “abandon the words ‘work-life balance’” to work hard, drawing mixed reactions on social media and elsewhere.

    Sounds like she was talking just about herself, and later clarified that she wasn’t declaring infinite working hours for everyone. Still she’s an LDP ghoul so the-doohickey
