Damning new report finds nearly all major car companies are actively sabotaging world's efforts to avoid catastrophic global warming, and Japan companies are the worst.
Japan is… an odd place when it comes to progress. They’re a nation of youth with the lowest youth voter turn out rates, so they’re governed by the elderly. They can update insanely quickly when there’s the will, but will drag their feet on anything official. The youth probably aren’t the biggest market for cars in the first place. The youth cares, but have no real buying power for cars anyway.
The birth rate is absolutely abysmal and the median age is nearly 50, only Monaco skews older. They barely have any youth, thats why the elderly are governing.
A while back, I did see a static that showed that Japanese “youth” have the lowest voter turn out rate of any developed nation. That’s by percentage. The low birthrate is partly the cause of that. Why bother to vote when your demographic isn’t statically relevant anyway? It causes a feedback loop. The other issue is that they’re barely surviving mentally. It’s just grind and grind and grind. Who has time for relationships or activism?

Reminds me of Kurosawa’s Ikiru.
