    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.

        My fix is redistributing the wealth on the condition that younger generations would help the country where it needs it the most.

        I think it’s fucked up how the young people of Japan are trapped in wage slavery in mostly tertiary jobs that aren’t necessary for society, they should have the opportunity to apply themselves in ways that matter and reward them and their community.

        Wealth redistribution is basically required at this point to fix almost any societal or economic problem globally.
