The economist Takashi Kadokura said on a Yahoo Japan news blog that local government efforts to promote marriage were not working and marriages were not increasing because of the growing number of non-regular workers who found it financially difficult to start a family.
Almost makes ya wonder if it’s an intentional Malthusian type beat of indirect population culling through economic repression. Literally force the poors into economic extinction since they’re demonstrably too dumb and/or unmotivated to abstractly contribute to human progress through capital accumulation
Nah, there's nothing intentional about the macroscopic cannibalism of capital. It's just what it does when it runs out of people to exploit elsewhere
Agreed. I wish it was a plan, because that would imply planner(s) who could be fought against. Instead, it's the logical outcome of the entire system.
Just another day in the holy land of the Prosperity Gospel.
Shovel the poors into the military for the next big war
