Primary Evidence
"In Japan's McDonald's restaurants, about six hundred thousand children's birth year, month, and day are recorded. A few days before each child's birthday, they receive a computer birthday card sent from a McDonald's restaurant; on their birthday, the children bring the card to McDonald's. The common practice of ordinary companies is to wish the children a happy birthday and give them some gifts. However, McDonald's style is different. In addition to saying "Happy Birthday" to the birthday child, the staff also claps to welcome their visit. Normally, children don't often get the reward of applause, so receiving such treatment at McDonald's naturally excites them."

"To turn the economy around is not difficult; just start a war, and the economy will improve; like during the Korean War and the Vietnam War, Japan's economy presented a beautiful scene. From this, it can be seen that as soon as wars break out, the recession disappears."
