In a venn diagram do weebs and highly skilled workers overlap?

It is split in half by furriess and weebs

United ~~in degeneracy~~

They don't really need to be high skilled if they are already employed. They'd be bringing money with them, so its basically an expansion on tourism. Opening opportunities for people to travel without having to disconnect from work. It's specially useful to attract Americans who notoriously don't get to take vacation leaves.

the industry only cares about the money-making weebs

If I were a billionaire I would be investing hard into opening a series of farm hotels for remote workers all over the world, with some sort of membership system that allowed folks to stay in any of them without hassle. I would provide high speed internet, small office rooms and vast contact to nature, healthy food options, sightseeing deals and that sort of stuff, all of them at locations chosen to keep the city centers at arms length - avoiding the city noise but not going too far from it.

I'm sure this will eventually be a common business, not many years from now (though probably with lower standards than what I described).

If I was a billionaire I would scoop up a bunch of investor real estate in many large cities and turn them into co-ops to push rent down

That's basically AirBnB but doesn't suck.

So it would never happen. There's no way they'd focus on service instead of squeezing profit out of it.

That sounds plenty attractive, and it might even revitalize some areas in dire need of young people with money. Hopefully it becomes a thing when the DN visa is eventually released...

Took me a second, but the idea is that you’re still teleworking for your regular, not-Japanese job right? Sounds like a sweet deal IF there are places you can rent out short term

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yea, you get the "living in Japan" experience without the "working in Japan" experience. Probably gonna be a decent boost to the Japanese economy while making some ~~weebs~~ sophisticated well-paid IT professionals quite happy at the same time.

I wonder how well paid you need to be to qualify…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Need to make at least 10M Yen (about $68k USD) annually.

I'm sorry but if the are targeting tech workers, that seems...low.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Japanese pay is quite low compared to eg the US. 10m jpy is a very decent income in Japan. You won't find many people not in high skilled tech jobs or years of experience with it.

Huh. TIL.
