Japan ‘on verge of no longer functioning’ after birth rate plummets to record new low
-
While we do have black people its such a weird 'guess' to make, I still have no idea what the point he was trying to make by mentioning black people. Did he really think the majority of brazillians are black? Cant he even grasp that there thousands if not millions of asians living in Brazil

Sure, but they often aren't terribly appealing, outside of those that target highly qualified professionals. Japan also needs manpower to make up for shortages in areas like their agricultural and fishing industries, and the terms just kind of suck. Like, I could qualify right now to move there based on my work experience in seafood, but it would be on a 5 year, non-renewable visa, which doesn't count at all towards establishing permanent residency and doesn't allow me to bring my family with me.
Those sorts of programs really only appeal to people from nearby developing nations that want to go to Japan for a few years, send a ton of money back home, and then go back to live in Malaysia or the Philippines once they finish building their new house, or paying for their kid to attend a good school, or whatever. It doesn't do much more than kick the problems of a shrinking tax base and labor pool down the line a bit, nor does it really encourage those participating in such schemes to make serious efforts at integration with the local culture.
Sooner or later, Japan needs to implement a proper immigration reform to offset low domestic birth rates, or they'll have an elderly population that can't fund the government and public services, because they aren't working and the younger generation is too small to carry the load all on their own, and they also won't have the people to care for them and provide them goods and services in their old age.
In comparison, Italy and Spain have roughly 4x the immigrant population of Japan, and Canada's number of immigrants is nearly 10x as large.

you know...I've been saying this in passing for the last decade and I'm starting to believe it.
the rich continue to rape the planet, spurning global warming on at an alarming rate. it's almost like they don't care about it--or rather they want it to happen.
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
They don't care about it getting worse. because global warming is their answer to every goal they have.
Climate change will:
- destabilize world governments
- drastically reduce world population
- displace millions, forcing them to migrate to safe zones
- allow them to capitalize on an opportunity to become "gods"
once half if not more of the planets population has died, the planet might start to regulate itself, though it will never be the same again.
I believe they are trying to take over the world and enslave humanity for their own benefit. climate change is just one of the many attacks they are throwing at the world right now.

They don’t care about it getting worse. because global warming is their answer to every goal they have.
It's the classic "we don't care if the valley floods, we live on the hill" mentality. They think that if/when the world devolves into chaos that they'll be safe because they're well off.
-
It’s not that there don’t care as much as they don’t believe it will affect them personally. They believe they their wealth will protect them.

It was the government doing window guidance that caused their mess, how do you blame the people who made successful companies that gave Japan its first world living standard?
-
The more appropriate fix would be no land ownership by people or countries that don't reside in the US, a banishment of investment companies from purchasing houses, and a hard cap of like 5 properties for any individual or company that can be owned as rental properties.
Far too many people/corporations are being landlords as a big business.
-
No, that would be barbaric. But even if you can't fix birthrates quickly, if you don't have women and partners in positions where they feel like they can safely have kids, you're going to compound the issue. My understanding is they've had this cultural issue where if you want to work as a woman that kind of really negatively impacts your career long term, and in terms of long term financial security that's awful.
-
Sounds like you figured it out, since the debasement of the gold standard we locked away an inelastic good behind a mountain of debt. Then we wonder why nobody has kids.
-
They need a sexual revolution , people are too uptight and stuck into their societal norms. I

I'm not sure how true this statement is. I go to Japan every year and the child care infrastructure there is incredible.
The healthcare is icredible - you can literally summon healthcare assistant if youe kid is sick at any point for free to your home
Then there's incredible public transporatiob system, parks, everything is equipped with child support and even culture heavily respects kids so they can do most things independently.
I think they mean expensive time and desire wise and Japanese still work incredible hours many of which seem to actually negatively impact productivity. People don't feel like such investment is worth it and tbh that could easily shift around with cultural changes but Japan is very allergic to those.
-
Europe has strong immigration policies and can easily correct if needed. Italy is already outsourcing most of elderly care to other Europeans - who's caring for Japan's elderly?
-
Most likely themselves....
-
Surely if just just instill good Christian moral values like forced birth, racism, and tribal isolationism all their problems will be solved.
-
Thats not necessarily true. Pension just needs the economy to grow and even with less people the economy can be stimulated through technology. If 1 japanese with technology can produce product equivalent of 1950s 3 Japanese than that's growth.
-
Yup and that's how we get headlines like Elderly people in Japan are getting arrested on purpose because they want to go to prison
-
They seem to be electing a lot of nationalist anti-immigration cucks. Maybe they should try to fix the problem instead of endlessly complaining about it.
-
Yeah, the idea that intelligence can only be inherited is the major flaw to it.
-
They've got women's rights but they hate immigration, this outcome is inevitable regardless of socioeconomic equality.
