Discrepancy in perception between experts and the general public
@active_galactic: the divergence between economists and the general public on a survey asking what they think causes budget deficits. Interesting.
While 17.5% of the total cost of social security is over 100 trillion yen, 40.4% of the total cost of social security is about 5 trillion yen, which does not correspond to the high level of spending.

@active_galactic: speaking of divergence, I was reminded of the "What do you consider as a cause of cancer" survey

@read_me: @active_galactic >Food is a specific substance in an unbalanced diet low in fruits and vegetables, too many calories, etc. Not a specific substance.
>Infectious diseases include hepatitis virus, which causes liver cancer, H. pylori for stomach cancer, and papillomavirus for cervical cancer. In Japan, it is thought to be about 20-30%.
