Elderly population now 25%

[Reddeville]

Another good reason to make the cash and head off into a post-Japan existence. Scarey stuff there - the elderly population of Japan (65 years +) now is 25% of the Japanese population total.

I can`t believe people who are gonna stay around in Japan (sorry Taro, not aimed at you or anybody in particular) - this society is on a massive downward spiral. These old assholes (a lot of them) are sucking up everybody`s money and they`re not grateful. They are milking the system for all it`s worth and the already depleted well is truly gonna run dry over the next 5 years or so.

The solution? I think the Govt is going to start taxing foreigners through compulsory pension contributions. Currently you don`t have to join your city hall`s pension scheme in some places (of course I had to because my city hall are assholes) but you watch - this will be an easy way for the govt to impose an extra tax on fuckdgaijin.

Plus there`ll be a hike in national health insurance payments. Anybody else got any ideas on how the Govt is going to fund these ageing assholes?

Fuck funding them, I propose the Soylent Green Bill and a lowering of the age of retirement.

Amen!
What fuckin pisses me off the most is when you have to give up your seat for these old fuckin people riding the trains and they take it for granted. You don't see us young people begging for our priority seats. Old people are unproductive, leech off the system, and really drag the society down. I don't give a shit that they made all the contributions and sacrifices in the past when they were younger. I think that's bullshit. They are the ones who screwed this world that we live.

I have a solution. First, raise the retirement age from 65 to 70. Second, we should round these old people up, build some retirement homes on some really shitty island like Shikoku and ship all of 'em off there. There, they don't have to ride trains and make us, the productive people of the society, stand up and give up our seats.

And anyone who's not down with this idea can go to Shikoku as well

First of all, you have to get it raised to 65! Secondly, what do you plan for these "non-productive" types? Logan's Run?

You can answer this in about 25-30 years.
