It's not great; the rice shortage continues to hit us pretty hard. I don't eat rice at home anymore really, pretty much only at lunch at my office cause they supply it there.
Wages continue to stagnant (I am fairly lucky my industry has done reasonably well and I have actually got raises) and govt has decided that a slight hike to income tax for childless people is the way to go. Consumption tax continues to go up, food gets more and more expensive; greatly outpacing most people's wage increases.
I was really hopeful at the beginning of the whole tariff song and dance that we would recognize our future should be with China, not the US, but our politicians seem to be holding to their guns. Though at least with a decidedly less pro-US voice.
