Australia

  • COVID vaccine rollout has been shambolic
  • cost of living is so damn high (wages are high but not growing enough)
  • so far away from the rest of the world and hell even each other (my parents live in another state which is a 2.5 hour plane ride)
  • it's too damn hot in the summer
  • racism, in particular casual racism is rampant


Other than that, universal health care, high minimum/average wages, quality of life certainly makes up for the above

Racism & political instability.

We've already went through 3 prime ministers in 3 years.

Japan, decreasing population and an inability to actually get enough immigrants to come. The government actually keeps increasing the amount of immigrant visas, but the terms are such not enough people actually apply to fill them. Every year the population decreases. People will say the problem is the birthrate, but it's actually about average for developed countries, and high for East Asia (Korea, China, Singapore, Taiwan, etc. all have lower birthrates). Nothing is going to meaningfully increase the birthrate, it's not worth addressing. There is a net inflow of immigrants but it's not nearly enough. There are more jobs than there are job-seekers. Getting the government to realize simply offering visas doesn't guarantee applicants is going to be tough. They need to actually make the terms worth it for immigrants.

Our universal health care doesn't cover dental :(

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

Didnt your country just pass horrifically invasive privacy laws that basically make police untouchable?

And before you say no, the answer is yes

Corrupt politicians and mostly inadequate bureaucracy if measured to a European standard.

Brazil. Pocket Nero's government has fucked the environment, the economy and the population. The Amazon is on fire, we're headed toward a water crisis and an energy crisis, hyperinflation and so on. We're so damn fucked.

Germany - Corona Virus (particularly anti vaxxers at this point), climate change (all of our summers have been extremely hot and dry or this summer we had extreme flooding) . I suppose other than that we have a pretty big shortage of workers and young people in general which will probably lead to issues in the future as far as pensions and such are concerned.

In my country called America, the biggest problem is all the liberals and their lack of respect for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. Until they respect it more, progress will continue to elude us.

UK

Brexit
Growing Transphobia infecting the populace and being propped up by the government and news without proper criticism
Growing push for stronger police laws and restricting freedom to protest
Growing invasive laws
Growing restriction on "adult content" to "protect children" by giving all your data/ID to somewhere for it to get hacked/leaked
Growing effort to harm the unemployed and homeless
Growing disinterest in helping women with anything meaningful
Growing disinterest in helping the LGBT+ community with anything meaningful
Lack of support for healthcare workers and other front line workers
Lack of support for the NHS
Lack of support for getting more people in healthcare
Covid

And plenty more.
