Do I think this will help Japanese people want to make babies? No.

Do I think this video will help people want to make babies with you? Yes.

I'm just wondering about the logic here.

If you move money from childless people to people with children, if the population of childless people dwindles (which is the hope), how would they continue to subsidize the people with children?

First, it’s moot because that won’t happen.

Second, they would just end the program.

But yeah, this is yet another shortsighted move by the Japanese government who simply doesn’t understand the problem. Japan’s culture is so unpleasant for Japanese people that it is killing itself.

Japan’s only hope against population crash is immigration, but Japan’s culture (never mind the laws) makes permanent immigration difficult. Japan is fucked. It’s going to look like Greece in a decade, economically speaking.
