  • Oh, also, some women would have had access to overalls as part of fulfilling factory work roles during WW2 when male labour was absent.

    Due to having to mostly return to their "normal" lives afterwards, this may have given the social period when less men were around to be wary of or tell them what to do, a magical quality of independence.

    Some of that magic of female independence may have washed off onto the factory workers uniform: The Overalls.

  • I'm going to say that somewhere between guys not wanting to wear their work clothes outside of work, and the outfits being a major symbol of workers during the time the IWW were being demonized (the IWW being the "International Workers of The World" an global socialist workers rights union) - baby clothes became a thing.

    Overalls and jumpsuits and softer forms of them are easy to put on babies (due to being one garment)... Cartoons even sometimes depicted them as having a poop-flap at the back for toilet training.

    So men were being told not to wear them, babies were wearing them, and they were being used as a political symbol of international communism and "lowly" blue collar work like mining or steel work.

    ... however women, would later (within our youth obsessed culture) want to look cute and young, and at other points in time, wanted to be seen as viable and capable workers... And women were already in the habit of borrowing fashions from men.

    Thus there were cultural rejection factors for men, and cultural attraction factors for women.

    A woman can put a tshirt on, some overalls and a scarf around her hair and indicate she is painting her apartment - the look thus had a social broadcasting function "I'm doing labour". If a man does this, he may well look like a garbage man, or a child in a romper suit. Male labour is now represented by more modern safety equipment, like ear and eye protection, or boots and gloves (perhaps due to harsher forms of work).

    So the symbol for women of repaint and repair also transferred to television, and from there, the "look" carried popularity for social signalling, as well as started to become somewhat of a queer aesthetic for self-activated and hence partially "masculinized" women, such as lesbians, activists, hikers or environmentalists, and "independent" women, who are "doing it for themselves".

  • Immigration... See the Japanese housing market, which has an abundance.

    But also your argument can be made about literally anything but the exact status quo in this current moment.

    What's that someone just quit there fast food - less meals available, scarcity all around!

    It's not a realistic understanding of the world.

  • Everybody can use whichever pictures they like as far as I am concerned.

    Not really, it's a shared data set to make sure colours appear at uniform levels across different media and types of software in order to maintain stable image formats that can be sent over internet protocols...

    ...the whole point is to have a catalogue of standard test images to compare transfer and compression results to globally.

  • Roughly the same as Argentina but accumulated over a much larger time period.

    Of course as a nominal figure I suspect American debt is larger (eg. in name or denomination value, not as a percentage of GDP).

    However this will only be a problem for Argentina, as America and Japan are sovereign currencies, mostly in debt to themselves. The main risk of their position is lending downgrades, and buying power downgrades, but they probably won't matter all that much in any defacto sense.

  • A country can't default on bonds to its self. It doesn't make sense, and out of all the countries in the world the US owes Japan more money than anyone else.

    No country on earth has ever gone into hyper inflation due to owing it's self, there has always been an external force draining it of money... This was not the case with Japan, and so the situation continued for three decades and is called a miracle.
