There’s 128 million Japanese....quite enough for a small island. They will be fine with slower population growth.

An aging population means that production robots are good but they just have to ensure that they eliminate SEX robots. Otherwise, they will cease to exist as a people. May the last living Japanese, please turn out the lights.

In light of today’s economy, WW2 must be looking double stupid to them as well.

Well this is a churnalist who talks about mining on a “semi-infinite basis”....

Yeah, but they had a great time bombing Pearl Harbor. The rest of it, not so much....

They have a good thing going on their island....they are not self-loathing & buy into this need for a massive stream of strangers to please pro-growth fetishists who have no respect for home or family. They remain a nation while we become a fractured, multicultural mess.

It looks like they still have a place called home.

Yep but by 2100, Japan will probably have less than 50 million people. But it will remain Japanese.

Demographics & population numbers can change on a dime. I suspect that Japan will have periods of higher population growth before 2100. But, yes....Japan will remain Japan.

Now, it turns out, Japan has an estimated 16 million tons of the stuff on its turf. And researchers claim the trove might be enough to supply the world with metals such as yttrium and europium on a “semi-infinite basis.”,

Best business news this year!

Japan invaded China in the 1940s. China would love to return the favor...

I’d agree with that - not sure what the problem driving the need for them is. The babes are much better than the cows here...so maybe it’s that the men are wimps?

A phrase I’ve been using for some 40 odd years. Glad to see it’s finally getting some currency...
