The geriatric time bomb will eventually cause a huge implosion in Japan that will destroy any positivity....

Japanese corporation has been preparing for this ^ for decades, automating as much as they possibly can. Nowhere else in the world are you greeted with a ticket vending machine just to order a bowl of udon, machine to take and count cash, kaiten sushi....

Fanuc etc. is at the leading edge of global automation, in fact much of today's global supply chain relies on Japanese robotics developed years ago. Look up Preferred Networks for a look at future AI tech.

The geriatric time bomb will eventually cause a huge implosion in Japan that will destroy any positivity....
