They could fix this overnight, but that would require making a bunch of old men less comfortable.
The first step is probably not thinking of it as a problem to be fixed.
Old people dying in the streets instead of getting a dignified retirement in exchange for a lifetime of work is a problem.
Are those the only two options? Unending human fuel being pushed into the fires of capitalism or old people dying on the streets? Literally nothing in between huh? Don’t think we could just have a less population and maybe a better distribution of resources?
That user is unhinged, don’t try to engage, they’re having a bad day/week/life and just trying to take it out on allies and people having conversations. Check their moderation history and how many places they’re banned from.
“Waaaa wwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” < you
Whine if you want. If there isn’t enough people that exist in your country to take care of the elderly that means that many will die from neglect.
Engage with reality.
They’ve done nothing, and it’s still not improving!

That’s just a single neutrino in a supergiant star of a problem.
Legalize weed, get more liberal, and allow some immigration and my useless ass would love to live there
Japan is relying more and more on a shadow army of millions of imported foreign workers that is slowly changing its populace. Japan could see a right wing backlash to the changing demographics at some point as we’ve seen in Europe.
“Shadow army”, you mean people, immigrants for low wage jobs in convenience stores and cleaners.
Hardly an organized “army” lol.
It’s a metaphor, not “literal” army. And it is in the millions. Many are unseen as they come out when the streets are empty doing the garbage picking and cleaning, etc.
Ah yes, the shadow army of cleaners. Nefarious and unseen.
The US in 10 years.
It doesn’t help that they pretty much make it so that you’re either an English teacher or something else really specific, otherwise you ain’t finding a job over there…
We need to investigate this immediately. If they’ve discovered Stargate technology and are quietly slipping out the back exit to somewhere habitable (and even that’s negotiable for a short-term stop), I’m not getting stuck here when that door slams shut on our impending apocalypse.
