Key takeaways here are:

1) Youth dependent upon a gig economy means inability to plan beyond basic needs.

2) Immigration is a requirement for a sustainable modern economy.

3) Wearas the investment in elder care is seen as honorable and expected there is no such expectation towards a sovereign baby boomer fund. So there are more old folks homes at the expense of closing schools. Unless immortality is around the corner, so we can have the elderly put back into the working economy, this is effectively a bridge to nowhere.

The huge debt will tell as the people who will be expected to pay for it will be fewer and fewer while the people dependent upon the state grow exponentially. Like a tree that needs a good trimming Japan is ripe for upheaval.

I think it was 20 years ago that adult diapers outsold baby diapers in Japan.

2) Immigration is a requirement for a sustainable modern economy.

Having kids, starting a family, and making sure there are future generations in place are the requirement for a sustainable economy. Immigration can be a black hole, and doesn't always work the way it's supposed to. As a country, you look to immigration to get the cream of the crop to help yourself, and end up getting more dregs than anything else.

More opinions not based on facts.

Most G20 countries are not making babies fast enough to counter their rate of deaths. Other countries are. The only way to maintain our tax base, or increase revenues, is immigration.

And the bit about immigrants being dregs is just bullshit. Boogie men dreamt up by xenophobes to enumerate the public.

Pretty sure that the truly sicko pop culture in Japan doesn't help much - all it's good at is creating incels. If you were a young woman over there would you want to have a relationship with some dingus adult-sized bitch-boy who does nothing but play video games and watch those retarded cartoons all the time, especially those sickening porn ones with the demons, rapists, & tentacles? The background pop-culture seems pervasive over there and has pretty much succeeded in creating a lot of young men who are even worse in behaviour than our wretched incels are, living on the internet all day long, never growing up, & engaged in a lot of thoroughly disgusting personal habits. They aren't the sort of males that any sane woman would want to have children with and that's probably a good thing.

It's an opinion, take it for face value.

I think the real issue here is that you can't handle any opinion that isn't your own. You go
out of your way to ridicule someone that has an opposing viewpoint instead of just accepting the fact that someone has an opposing viewpoint, which leads to...

DrCaleb DrCaleb:

...Boogie men dreamt up by xenophobes to enumerate the public.

If you don't like someone else's views on immigration, they are a xenophobe.
If you don't like someone else's views on climate change, they are a denier.
If you don't like someone else's views on the pandemic, they are a conspiracy theorist.

If you don't like someone else's views on anything that opposes yours, you belittle them
and make sure that they are made to feel like crap. Perhaps you should take a step back
and re-evaluate what you post before you post it.

Sure looks like bullying to me, and that must violate some of the rules we have here.

Japanese are too traditional to ever do immigration. It's a non-starter for them. And given the endless horror stories from how North America & Europe have done immigration they have more than enough reasons to never ever copy the way we've done it.

Not gonna happen in anyone's lifetime. Next utterly ridiculous suggestion from we oh-so-smart woke Westerners for a foreign country, with a thousand year-old culture & society that's diametrically opposed to everything in ours, to follow please.

Except the debt will force them to break. If they are unable or unwilling to replace the numbers required in the workforce the businesses, just to maintain profit, will have no choice but to open the border to immigration. If they stall the economy falls. As much as I would love a baby boomer credits to be embraced simply put neocon economies do no invest in anything that detracts from their goal of immediate profits. That means there is never any long term goal and this path is not sustainable.

[Scape]

And even if they did have a come to Jesus moment and decide that they needed to invest in the people and start encouraging people to have families it will take multiple generations for the numbers to get up to speed just to maintain the economy. They need people NOW.

No, I can't handle viewpoints based on thinly veiled hatred instead of facts. Not that you intend hatred, but that is the only place that such anti-immigrant views lead. I appreciate views that oppose my own, if they are based on fact.

But you continually are unable to show anything other than opinion to back up your opinion. Do you think that this is a safe space where the things you write will never be challenged?

If you call asking you questions, and offering to explain things to you in depth 'bullying', then I can't really help you can I? And if the other mods agree with you, then so be it.

Pretty sure Thanos and Scape don't think I am bullying them when I question things they write. Just you.

[CDN_PATRIOT]

You're a mod. Set a better example.

[DrCaleb]

So you are just going to let all of that sit, and continue to pretend I'm a bully. Ok, play the victim.

I'm in no way playing the victim here. I'm asking, no -imploring- you to set a better
example as a mod of this forum.

That is the quick definition of an opinion. When I post an opinion I'm technically
not wrong as it's a personal viewpoint. When you post an opinion, it's
technically not wrong as it's a personal viewpoint.

Why can't you just accept this and move on? We're not professionals debating in front of
an audience. We don't have extra letters at the end of our names and aren't arguing the
finer points of anything important because our jobs depend on it.

We are two people providing opinions in a forum on the internet. I respect that
everyone here has different opinions, do you? I'm starting to think that for you, this is
a matter of ego and trying to either save face or a need to have the last word.

Respect everyone else's opinion, or move on. The choice is yours.
