Takaichis „geschäftige Prahlerei“ mit 0-3 Stunden Schlaf pro Nacht geht nach hinten los: „Wähler achten nicht auf die Länge der Stunden, die Politiker arbeiten, sondern auf ihre Ergebnisse. Früher galt langes Arbeiten positiv als Zeichen von ‚Engagement‘, aber jetzt wird Überarbeitung als Problem angesehen.“

Of course it is lmao this isnt the 70s/80s バブル時代… Her job is to be head of state, you hope they are of good mind and good health we all know what it is like to be overworked and have no sleep, you make poor choices, you are easy to make angry. We’ve all been there, but we are not all heads of state.
I rather a PM sleeping a solid 7-8 hours and showing what productivity is, instead of banging on about SHOWA era values LOL its 2026 for ffs.
Takachi is a simple person.
She knows her idol,
Margaret Thatcher, famously claimed to sleep for only about 4 hours
, so Takaichi goes “well I only sleep 3 hours!”
Like that’s something to brag about.
She is getting roasted for this comment all over Japanese media, internet, SNS etc. Good to see the public isn’t buying it
oh no, grift does not work and people want life over working long hours for peanuts?! shocking!
on the other note, didn’t one of her first move was to dismantle some laws preventing overtime/kaoroshi?
Everyone is different. I operate best at 3 hours then 2 hours in a 24 hour period. My GF needs 8 hours straight.
This is an especially important point considering Takaichi has been trying to roll back overtime laws-

She doesn’t just want to work all night herself, she wants everyone else to be forced to too. And yet she is living proof that more overtime does not equal better performance. In fact studies show when you are operating on that little sleep you become so incompetent that you would be more productive if you just got some fucking rest.
I’m glad people are starting to see the flaws in her antiquated way of thinking, and hopefully before she makes everyone’s lives worse by imposing more of this mentality on the rest of the country.
Takaichi today: i sleep only 3 hours
Takaichi tomorrow: i only pee, no time for poo
Not sleeping isn’t cute. Decision making is greatly reduced as you deprive your brain of the rest that it needs to function normally. This is not the Showa era.
“I’m so inefficient I need to be at the office 21 hours to finish the same tasks my contemporaries complete in a normal span of time.” is an interesting flex
Imagine sleeping less than Obama while being responsible for a fraction of the things he was responsible for.
How incompetent must she be.
Sleeping 0-3 hours isn’t cool, it’s idiotic. I can’t even imagine why anyone would say this, you are very likely unhealthy and irrational, not some super hero robot.
It still blows my mind how majorities the world over continuously vote for the slimiest weasely weirdos. You look at leaders before elections and they give you the ick, they get voted in and then the same demographic that voted them in is shocked they’re weird.
Almost as if everyone knows that people used to be in the office 14 hours a day and be in the smoke room for 2/3 of it
It’s kinda refreshing to see most people on Yahoo comments agree that this is stupid. I expected a lot more people on her side. To be fair even a 40% approval rating is too high imo.
At what point do talks of resignation start to surface?
With all the studies showing that less sleep equals less brain capacity you’d think she’d realise this isn’t a flex.
Then again, she wasn’t much brighter when she was getting more hours of sleep.
I’m glad that the public no longer view working for long hours as something honorable and being more productive within a decent number of work hours a day is more valuable.
