The only thing is that it makes life a lot tougher for the Japanese 
government. I suspect that they have some concerns about the long-term 
issues that are cropping up with the youth unemployment rate, and are 
(slowly) putting plans in place to cope with it, along with introducing 
robots. This partly contradicts what I said earlier, but I can't help but 
believe that the Japanese Government thinks a bit longer term with matters

like this.
