Japan Fair Trade Commission Raids Major Beer Companies Over Price Cartel

🇯🇵 Japan

• What about the major mobile carriers? This industry in particular has many cases where the three companies have almost the exact same price range.大手携帯キャリアは？ この業界こそ、三社ほぼ同じ値段帯が多いよ

• I mean, isn't the biggest reason the fact that they're readily raising taxes for the government's convenience, not even for the health of the citizens?てか、国民の健康のためでもなく、政府都合でホイホイ税金上げてんのが一番の原因では?

• The one that got squeezed the most wasn't the malt, but the "citizens".一番搾られたのは麦芽ではなく「国民」であった

• It's ridiculous how the National Tax Agency changes the tax system every time manufacturers work hard to release lower-priced alcoholic beverages.メーカーが努力して価格を下げた酒類を発売するたびに税制変更する国税も大概やろ

• Cartels are bad, but aside from that, taxing the second and third-tier beers that companies worked hard to develop for cheap supply one after another, while telling them to compete on prices, is honestly insulting. If you want them to properly compete on price, lower the taxes too.カルテルは駄目だがそれとは別に 企業が頑張って安く提供しようと開発した第二のビール、第三のビールにも次々課税しておいて 価格競争しろは正直舐めてるやろ ちゃんと価格競争させたいなら税金も下げてやれよ

• Beer companies must have been forming cartels for years. The four companies are practically monopolies.ビール会社なんて、絶対に長年カルテル結んでいたはず。4社が実質、独占企業みたいなものだもの。

• Price gouging would be a problem, but from someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I think it's fine since trial and error allows for adjusting the liquor tax to a fair price, and each company makes their own stuff anyway.釣り上げたら問題だけど試行錯誤したら酒税あげられるし適正価格なんだからいいじゃんってアルコール飲まない側からしては思う作ってんのそれぞれなんだから

• Well, stuff like this happens with things other than beer too. I'm not even surprised anymore. In the end, it's a system where Japanese people are exploited by corporations and foreign shareholders make the profits. It's a system designed to protect shareholder interests, they don't care about ordinary consumers at all.まあ、こんなのビール以外でもやってることだよな 今さら驚きもしない 結局、日本人は企業に搾取され外国人株主が儲かる仕組みになってる 株主の利益を守るための仕組みなんだよ、一般消費者の事など考えてない

• That's completely not the face of someone apologizing, which means similar things are happening frequently in other industries too.まったく謝罪する表情ではないな、てことは他の業界でも似たようなことが頻発しているとのこと

• [Breaking News] The Japan Auto Auction Association (NAK) is forcibly excluding business operators who have not registered for the invoice system. *We hope the Japan Fair Trade Commission conducts a forced investigation.【速報】一般社団法人 日本オートオークション協議会（NAK）ではインボイス登録していない業者様を強制排除しています。 ※公正取引委員会の強制調査を望みます
