Asia is aging first and it is not replacing the populatiin first to support the old one. It seems like it is going to be a really interesting time demographically

We had this conversation before. In Korea they are either selling stuff on the streets, engage in organ harvesting, homeless, kill themselves or walk to a mountain to be eaten by tigers. The latter is a cultural thing.
