The Japanese government is planning to connect major cities with automated zero-emissions logistics links that can quietly and efficiently shift millions of tons of cargo, while getting tens of thousands of trucks off the road.
According to The Japan News, the project has been under discussion since February by an expert panel at the Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism ministry. A draft outline of an interim report was released Friday, revealing plans to complete an initial link between Tokyo and Osaka by 2034.
Japan’s well-known population collapse issues foretell severe labor squeezes in the coming years, and one specific issue this project aims to curtail is the continuing rise in online shopping, with a forecast decline in the numbers of delivery drivers that can move goods around. The country is expecting some 30% of parcels simply won’t make it from A to B by 2030, because there’ll be nobody to move them.
This is a stupid Low IQ move by Japan. Thousands of truck drivers will lose jobs, lorry manufacturing companies will collapse, fuel companies will suffer, whole economy will suffer..
Najua WW2 bankrupted them. But they got to work and invested in the productivity of their citizens. To do so, they had to borrow heavily, and no one wanted to lend to them internationally because they were an aggressor in WW2.
So they borrowed the labour of their citizens. Japanese also have a huge savings culture. They save almost everything they earn.
Women in Japanese society mainly stay at home and manage the money carefully.
Yes but that doesn’t mean that their debt pressure is as serious as ours. Deni una owe a domestic bank is not as serious as that owed to a foreign bank because you can always negotiate with those you know.
