The Atlantic is introducing a solution to an issue that is a more complex socio-economic issue. In that order.
Your solution is to throw imported human capital at them to solve their decreasing population and elderly problem: "cheap labor" will inevitably lead to them wanting to get married and pro-create. That of course is a non sequitur.

I think the discussion should begin by being more culturally and socially sympathetic. The people of Japan have been on a long road to social alienation. Their unique culture at some point in time will become too anemic to recover. Importing "foreign" capital is not going to reintroduce them to the human intimacy needed for successful, fruitful lives.

I don't care how successful your virtual mate, or job is making you feel. If you don't pass on your genes, evolution considers you a failure.

What do you mean "your solution?" Whose solution? I wrote that I did not have a solution.

No, I didn't too be honest. Your posts smack quite often of presumptuousness and you did not use any sarcasm clues or an appropriate emoticon.

Good luck finding your groove in 2019

Seriously though, who the heck is Tom Correa? Is he a congressman?

Ocasio-Cortez is clueless in congress, which is much worse that some guy with a cowboy hat named Tom who loves Trump with a religious passion.

I was more thinking of the people clapping. I'm not defending Ocasio-Cortez, but I also wouldn't pay too much attention to comments taken out of context. Was this a political rally? We don't know by this particular video. We know how these things go.

Also, though we can hardly pinpoint the tipping point of too much carbon in the atmosphere with such accuracy, Ocasio-Cortez is probably a hell of a lot closer to what scientists are saying than our current President of the United States. Donald Trump is a walking, talking lie factory.

"Climate change is a hoax."

"It's freezing and snowing in New York – we need global warming!"

"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive."

"Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases!"

(On Obama) "His grandmother in Kenya said, 'Oh no, he was born in Kenya and I was there and I witnessed the birth.' Now, she's on tape and I think that tape's going to be produced fairly soon ...The grandmother in Kenya is on record saying he was born in Kenya."

"I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."

It's important not to dismiss comments from Ocasio-Cortez, even if they are uttered at rallies because they often cross-over into formal chambers with the same inanity, which in turn can influence voting.

The world is not going to end in 12 years. Who is she now, Nostradamus? That's complete nonsense. Extreme alarmism should not be the starting point for a rational discussion. Unless of course your real goal is to push your chosen ideology.

Climate Change is no where near to being the same immediate and evil existential threat that Hitler's WWII was. That's simply bullshit and should not be used as a discussion point for climate change.

Ocasio- Cortez is a dangerous demagogue. The sad thing here is that her ineptitude is looked upon as favorable truth by an equally clueless voting base.

No it's not.. And you're being arrogantly presumptuous yet again with your "I know what the problem is and how to fix it " posts.

Oh, the irony--it hurts!!!
