Seems like good news if they want to be alone. Certainly my experience in Tokyo is that the vast majority of people are antisocial and don’t want to have any interaction.
They believe they can be alone and don't need anyone until they become older, when doing simple task for example going to toilet is impossible without assistance. Who'll do that? Foreign care giver in Japan.

See many old Japanese men living out of convenience stores.
I guess they were too busy to learn how to cook and in their later years when they divorced or became widowers they just resorted to using the local 7-11s.
Their only skill inside household just pushing button, pushing button on microwave or pushing button on laundry machine, beside that without monthly wages they just becoming useless for their spouse.

you may have forgotten but Iran shot down an American Global Hawk stealth drone and also show down an MQ-99 another stealth drone that was top secret.
It's marketed and supposed to be stealth, how that can be happened? If it were stealth that it shouldn't be targeted and shot down.
