Current cohort of elderly Japanese don't want robots.

Of course, the people who will make up the elderly by the mid-point of the century aren't the current cohort of elderly, who presumably were young back in the 20s or 30s. Arbitrarily defining "elderly" as 70, the 2050 elderly will be about 20 now and I wonder what that group thinks of robots.

The basement wingnut Bircher set, the same group that the PM always has to pander to with the whalemeat crap, the Yasukuni Shrine, et cetera.

I think you can think of appropriate analogies to American politics during our recent flirtation with a one-party state.

I was thinking "what are the odds for these people becoming less influencial in the future", which should have some influence on the robots-vs-foreign devils debate. I'd like to imagine Japan of the 2050's as a magnet for immigrants...
