I just posted an article on this the other day. We are following Japan's trend.
Yes.
Japan is pretty much a crystal ball for us. Their dynamic, can-do economy became a strictly hierarchical field with some very established megacorporations with too much power. Companies who did titanic things such as developing a successful auto and electronics industry out of thin air suddenly can't adapt to any changes, just look at how Sony handled their hacks.
With shrinking jobs, men became disinterested in procreating and even dating, giving rise to the subculture known as hikikomori and also the "herbivore men".
Our economy is heading the same way, and we have our own version of hikikomori, called the shut-ins, and herbovire men, the incels.
Japan was never open to immigration so they're hurting now. We were open to immigration and that helped offset our birth rate issues, but now MAGA happened and the anti-immigrant sentiment is strong (just look at the recent "animals" speech).
The upside of this is that it means we got at still 20 years before we become what japan is right now.
Right, all first world developed countries are collapsing and it's the 2nd/3rd world undeveloped and developing countries that are thriving. Perhaps we should've been like them and not have let women into the workforce
where did you draw that insane conclusion from? My post said nothing of the sort.
Because the majority of developed countries is like this. Canada and Australia are in the same boat with even stricter immigration policies than the US.
