Japanese face extinction

In Japan it’s still possible to talk about race suicide, it appears. Still, it’s hard to imagine what they’ll do about it. The prime minister suggests continuing the transfer of the functions of the family to the state (more welfare benefits, better childcare). The UN on the other hand wants them to import 600,000 workers a year. It seems there are a lot of third world people who are looking for an opportunity to support retired Japanese.
