Anthony Bourdain said Moscow has the most billionaires. Are you calling Anthony Bourdain a liar?

I accept this as a possibility. Sorry for getting defensive. I thought somebody was blighting the name of Anthony Bourdain and I jumped to action.

joking aside, i've always found it incredibly surprising that wages at japanese firms which do the same work as their american counterparts are compensated far less (like 50% less range)

from the perspective of society, this might be a good thing, but i could never figure out how exactly wages got (or are stuck) that low- even before the 90's recession
