Japan's 30-year recession and innovation (Essay)

Professor Kaliko (m-RNA vaccine inventor)

Since the bubble economy collapsed in the 1990s, Japan has been stuck in a 30-year recession. Workers' wages are shrinking, and Japan is the only developed country in the world to experience subsidence. There are various reasons for this phenomenon, but it is probably due to the government's wrong policies (the Liberal Democratic Party).

What is most troubling to the population is the ultra-low interest rate policy introduced after Abenomics, launched by the exiled politician Shinzo Abe. However, the underlying cause is much deeper. The real culprit is Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. This man believed in neoliberalism and applied this false economics to the world of education. -- ``Selection and concentration,'' placing fixed rankings on universities, sparing research funding, and only allowing research that would produce immediate results. Researchers atrophied, and original research faded into obscurity. There are almost no Japanese Nobel Prize winners in science anymore.

This hindered innovation, and Japan no longer developed novel science and technology. Look, isn't the USA, with its active innovation, currently leading the world? The interference of science and technology amateurs in this field is the cause of Japan's current stagnation. Junichiro Koizumi's sin is serious.

Listening to the statements made by the Japanese government, the central bank (Bank of Japan), politicians, and the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations (Keidanren), I find that while they mention money redistribution, they rarely say anything about innovation in science and technology. Today, Japan is dominated by people with liberal arts backgrounds, not science and engineers. Because they are ignorant of science and technology, they have no idea that innovation determines a country's rise and fall. Japan is on the path to becoming a second-rate country. The Bank of Japan now (Head: Kazuo Ueda) is a group of idiots. No matter how much they twist finance, it will not lead to innovation.

日本の３０年不況とイノベーション

１９９０年代にバブル経済が破綻して以降、日本は３０年にわたる不況から抜け出せない。労働者の賃金は目減りし、先進国では唯一地盤沈下している。この現象の要因は、いろいろ言われるが、もとは政府＝自民党の誤った諸政策に起因するであろう。

もっとも人口に膾炙しているのは、亡国政治家安倍晋三が始めたアベノミクス以降の超低金利性政策だが、深層はもっと根深い。ずばり、真犯人は小泉純一郎首相である。この男は新自由主義の信奉者で、教育の世界にも、この誤った経済学を適用した。――「選択と集中」、大学に固定した順位をつけ、研究費を出し惜しみして、すぐに結果のでる研究しか認めなかった。研究者は委縮し、独創的な研究は影を潜めた。もう、科学におけるノーベル賞受賞者は、日本人からはほとんどでないだろう。

これはイノベーションを阻害し、日本には斬新な科学技術は生まれなくなった。見よ、現在世界をリードしているのはイノベーションが活発なUSAではないか。科学技術の素人がこの分野に口を出したことが今の日本の停滞の元凶なのである。小泉純一郎の罪は重い。

日本の政府、中央銀行（日本銀行）、政治家、経団連の発言を聞いていると、お金の再配分のことは言及しても、科学技術のイノベーションについての発言はほとんどない。今の日本を支配しているのは、理系の科学技術者ではなく、文科系の出身者ばかりである。彼らは科学技術に無知であるから、国の興亡を左右するのがイノベーションであることが全く理解できない。日本は２流国への道をまっしぐらである。日本銀行もバカ集団だ。金融をいくらこねくりまわしても、イノベーションにはつながらない。

2022-Shinzo Abe

Shinzo Abe (/ˈʃɪnzoʊ ˈɑːbeɪ/SHIN-zoh AH-bay; Japanese: 安倍晋三, Hepburn: Abe Shinzō, IPA: [abe ɕindzoː]; 21 September 1954 – 8 July 2022) was a Japanese politician and statesman who served as Prime Minister of Japan and President of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) from 2006 to 2007 and again from 2012 to 2020. He was the longest-serving prime minister in Japanese history, serving for almost nine years in total. Abe also served as Chief Cabinet Secretary from 2005 to 2006 under Junichiro Koizumi and was briefly the opposition leader in 2012.

Abe was a staunch conservative whom political commentators had described as a right-wing Japanese nationalist. Associated with the Nippon Kaigi, he held negationist views on Japanese history, including denying the role of government coercion in the recruitment of comfort women during World War II, a position which caused tensions particularly with South Korea. Under his premiership, relations further strained in 2019 over disputes about reparations. Earlier that same year, Abe's government initiated a trade dispute with South Korea after the South Korean Supreme Court ruled that reparations be made by Japanese companies who had benefited from forced labor. Abe was considered a hard-liner with respect to Japan's military policies.

In 2007, he initiated the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue during his first tenure as prime minister, aimed at resisting China's rise as a superpower. He advocated for amending Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution to legally codify the status of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF), however this was never achieved during his lifetime. He enacted military reforms in 2015 that allowed Japan to exercise collective security by allowing JSDF deployments overseas, the passage of which was controversial and met with protests. Economically, Abe attempted to counter Japan's economic stagnation with "Abenomics", with mixed results. He was also credited with reinstating the Trans-Pacific Partnership with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Abe was assassinated on 8 July 2022 while delivering a campaign speech in Nara two days before the 10 July upper house elections. The suspect, who was immediately arrested by police, confessed to targeting the former prime minister because of Abe's alleged ties with the Unification Church. This was the first assassination of a former Japanese prime minister since 1936. A polarizing figure in Japanese politics, Abe was described by his supporters as having worked to strengthen Japan's security and international stature, while his opponents described his nationalistic policies and negationist views on history as threatening Japanese pacifism and damaging relations with East Asian neighbors China and South Korea. Commentators have said that his legacy pushed Japan towards more proactive military spending, security, and economic policies.

its not news that coe is a game about Fathers while com is a game about Mothers but in a way among the see of men with mommy issues stands sara who is probably beefing/has a complex regarding kurachi its so funny

misumi too, misumi is the dude with daddy issues that werent more or less resolved in coe

btw, when i imagine katsumi, i always picture the former japanese prime minister junichiro koizumi

there is absolutely no basis for this. it's just cause i was reading that deranged mahjong manga featuring him and the mental image stuck.

but if you're delusional, the timeline can be bruteforced, maybe he really is mildly based on koizumi (this is a crazy person talking). he's a very well loved and iconic prime minister as far as i know. no comment on that from me but it'd be insane if katsumi was modeled after him... i say bruteforced though bc i think koizumi was prime minister later than misumi is identified as the son of a prime minister. huh? do i really want to check the dlc for such a banal detail. No.

this wasn't meant to be a post about katsumi though...!!!!!!

edit: my memory failed me. his first term started in 2001... so we missed the window

Applying environmental criteria in packaging design guarantees a real circular economy

In Europe, distribution in efficient packaging allows, for example, to lose less than 0.5% of the milk produced. Without the right conditions, this loss shoots up to 10% (i.e. 20 times more), as in sub-Saharan Africa.

Only half of the generated waste is recycled, hence the other 50% cannot be converted into new resources. For this reason, the leading food packaging companies, such as Tetra Pak[1], are intensifying their efforts – and their responsibility – to promote eco-design, social awareness and efficient recycling management, and thus guarantee the true circularity of the packaging they manufacture.

In the 1970s, the expression “cradle to cradle”[2] began to be used as a response to “cradle to grave”; that is, the term “waste” was no longer associated with “garbage”. In this way, they went from that linear model, based on producing, consuming and throwing away (inherited from the industrial revolution), to writing the prolegomena of the circular economy, a concept championed by the Swiss architect Walter R. Stahel[3]. In 2004, a further step was achieved with the 3R rule –Reduce, Reuse, Recycle–, which the Prime Minister of Japan Koizumi Junichiro promoted during the G8 summit with a clear purpose: “it is a pity that something is wasted without taking advantage of its full potential.

Today, there are already seven 3Rs: Rethink, Reject, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recover, Recycle. And the principles of the circular economy are more than established in society: which, as the Foundation for the Circular Economy[4] recalls, seeks "to turn resources into products, products into waste and waste into resources". However, it is estimated that of the 2,240 million tons of urban solid waste that is generated each year in the world, only 55% is managed in controlled facilities, according to what the UN announced on March 30 (International Zero Waste Day). In other words, almost half of said waste loses the possibility of becoming new resources... and, therefore, new wealth.

Keys to increase recycling rates

THINK ABOUT RECYCLING FROM THE DESIGN ON - INVEST IN A QUALITY COLLECTION SYSTEM - EFFECTIVELY MANAGE COLLECTED WASTE

“The mismanagement of garbage is”, says the UN, "the third most important source of methane emissions worldwide." In addition, reusing or recycling the waste (avoiding it from ending up in a landfill) generated, for example, by the agri-food sector would contribute to further reducing the carbon footprint it causes. Not only that. It would also help prevent the planet's resources (water, land, energy...) [5] from running out, something essential: it is estimated that, if the current rate and way of consumption is followed, by 2050 it would take three planets to obtain these natural resources if we want to maintain our current lifestyle.

“Waste management is critical to improving the lives of people around the world.” Maimunah Mohd Sharif, Executive Director of UN-Habitat[6], made this clear. However, the figures offer a not very encouraging picture. According to Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Commission, Spain is not meeting the European Union's objective of reusing and recycling garbage, established at 50% by 2020, and is also somewhat far behind: at 36.7% in 2021, compared to the average of 48%. of the European Union, The way forward is, for Spain, more demanding, if one also takes into account the rates established for 2025 (55% of urban waste) and for 2030 (60%).

Reuse vs recycling

The agri-food sector is one of those that generate the greatest amount of waste and, logically, the packaging industry does not escape the challenge of moving towards a full circular economy, in addition to contributing to reducing food waste and the carbon footprint. Although his challenge, if possible, is more ambitious, since the Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE)[7], to which Tetra Pak belongs, poses in Europe by 2030 “increase the collection rate for beverage cartons to 70% and set a mandatory collection target for recycling of 90% across Europe, for all packaging categories, including beverage cartons”, as recalls Ramiro Ortiz, CEO of Tetra Pak Iberia. According to the latest Ecoembes[8] report, in Spain 112,431 tons of cardboard packaging waste for beverages and food were sent to recycling facilities in 2022. 1.64% more than in 2021.

The second life of aseptic carton packs

COLLECTION TRANSPORT CLASSIFICATION RECYCLING RECYCLED PAPER REST MATERIALS

Beverage cartons come to the yellow container thanks to consumers.

Efforts to increase recycling rates include involving all interested parties (consumers, administrations and industry) with the aim of improving waste collection and management infrastructure and developing initiatives that increase the value of these and extend the use of waste. recycled materials. An example of this is the recent signing of the Tetra Pak agreement with Trans Sabater[9] to help respond to the European Union's objective of recycling and efficient waste management. This is a collaboration agreement for the implementation of the mechanical recycling of polyethylene and aluminum waste from cardboard containers for recycled beverages in Spain. This collaboration has the objective of consolidating the efficiency and economic viability of the mechanical recycling of this waste in Spain for its subsequent revaluation as pellets, a secondary raw material with unique properties that improves plastic transformation processes, increases industrial productivity and is exempted of (Spanish) plastic tax.

In this line of collaboration to achieve the real circularity of packaging, it is also appropriate to reconsider some standards, such as the future Directive amending Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste [10], especially when putting on the table the possible risk that reusing or refilling containers of juices or vegetable drinks, more sensitive liquids, would entail. Ramiro Ortiz pointed it out at the II Iberia Forum: Circular economy in the agri-food industry[11], where representatives of the agri-food industry and public administration participated last April: "A reusable container does not guarantee the same functions as an aseptic container, such as guaranteeing food safety, extending the shelf life of food without refrigeration from one week to one year and without the need for preservatives, in addition to reducing food waste and guaranteeing its availability everywhere,” Ortiz specified.

Firm commitment to ecodesign

A few decades ago, Tetra Pak set out to push circularity in aseptic beverage packaging, and made its own decisions, such as making 70% of its packaging “long, strong paper fibres that can be recycled multiple times.” “A world in which all packaging is collected, separated, recycled and never turned into trash” is the “ultimate recycling ambition” of this company. And, thanks to that commitment, the prestigious British newspaper Financial Times has recognized Tetra Pak as 'European Climate Leader 2023'[12] for its progress in reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and its commitment to climate action. But the responsibility of this company does not stop there, since it focuses all its efforts on achieving the most sustainable food packaging in the world, where ecodesign must play a fundamental role.[13] A bet that necessarily involves using more recycled or renewable materials of responsible origin.

To reduce the use of plastics and aluminum and increase the fibre content, Tetra Pak is going to invest 100 million euros a year in the next ten years to innovate in packaging materials. It has already replaced plastic straws with paper and is introducing caps attached to the container, to prevent them from being abandoned in nature. Packaging that is also fully recyclable and neutral in carbon emissions.

To achieve this goal, the company – world leader in food processing and packaging solutions – is already resorting to solutions that facilitate recycling, such as the inclusion of paper straws and the incorporation of caps attached to the container. In addition, Tetra Pak is replacing polyethylene[14] of fossil origin with plastics of plant origin, derived from sugar cane, "an alternative with less environmental impact to plastics of fossil origin," adds Ortiz. In fact, "in 2022, Tetra Pak sold more than 2,000 million containers with polymers of vegetable origin in Spain, which implies a reduction of 5,000 tons of CO2 compared to containers that use plastic of fossil origin", recalls the director General of this company.

Tetra Pak is also working on an alternative, paper based packaging barrier to protect food, and that barrier will enable the company to further lower the carbon footprint and increase the recyclability of the packaging. Lastly, it has recently expanded its packaging portfolio, which incorporates certified recycled polyethylene to cover new formats, product categories and geographical areas.

THINK ABOUT RECYCLING FROM THE DESIGN

When conceiving the sketch of a container, it is necessary to keep in mind its collection, classification and recycling. It is relevant to resort to renewable or recycled materials of responsible origin, to reduce the impact on the environment and facilitate correct separate collection during the recycling process.

[3] Walter R. Stahel (born June 5, 1946) is a Swiss architect, graduating from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich in 1971. He has been influential in developing the field of sustainability, by advocating 'service-life extension of goods - reuse, refill, reprogram, repair, remanufacture, upgrade technologically' philosophies as they apply to industrialised economies. He co-founded the Product Life Institute in Geneva, Switzerland, a consultancy devoted to developing sustainable strategies and policies, after receiving recognition for his prize winning paper 'The Product Life Factor' in 1982. His ideas and those of similar theorists led to what is now known as the circular economy in which industry adopts the reuse and service-life extension of goods as a strategy of waste prevention, regional job creation and resource efficiency in order to decouple wealth from resource consumption, that is to dematerialise the industrial economy. The circular economy has been adopted by the state-owned-and-run China Coal industry as a guiding philosophy. In the 1990s, Stahel extended this vision to selling goods as services as the most efficient strategy of the circular economy. He described this approach in his 2006 book The Performance Economy, with a second enlarged edition in 2010 which contains 300 examples and case studies. He currently works closely with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation on further promoting his ideas with economic actors.

Arrivals & Departures 21 September 1954 – 8 July 2022 Shinzo Abe

Shinzo Abe (安倍晋三, Abe Shinzō, pronounced [abe ɕindzoː]) was a Japanese politician who served as Prime Minister of Japan and President of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) from 2006 to 2007 and again from 2012 to 2020. He was the longest-serving prime minister in Japanese history. Abe also served as Chief Cabinet Secretary from 2005 to 2006 under Junichiro Koizumi and was briefly leader of the opposition in 2012.

Born into a prominent political family, Abe was elected to the House of Representatives in the 1993 election. He was appointed Chief Cabinet Secretary by Koizumi in September 2005, before replacing him as prime minister and LDP president in September 2006. He was subsequently confirmed as prime minister by a special session of the National Diet, becoming Japan's youngest post-war prime minister, and the first to have been born after World War II. Abe resigned as prime minister just after one year in office due to medical complications from ulcerative colitis, shortly after his party lost that year's House of Councillors election. He was replaced by Yasuo Fukuda, who became the first in a series of five prime ministers who each failed to retain office for more than sixteen months. After recovering from his illness, Abe staged an unexpected political comeback by defeating Shigeru Ishiba, the former defense minister, in a ballot to become LDP president for the second time in September 2012. Following the LDP's landslide victory in the general election that December, he became the first former prime minister to return to the office since Shigeru Yoshida in 1948. He led the LDP to further victories in the 2014 and 2017 elections, becoming Japan's longest-serving prime minister. In August 2020, Abe announced his second resignation as prime minister, citing a significant resurgence of his health condition. He tendered his resignation on 16 September, and was succeded by Yoshihide Suga.

Abe was a staunch conservative whom political commentators had described as a right-wing Japanese nationalist. Associated with Nippon Kaigi Parliamentary League, he held negationist views on Japanese history, including denying the role of government coercion in the recruitment of comfort women during World War II, a position which caused tensions particularly with South Korea. Abe argued that settlements concerning Japan's treatment of colonial Korea was previously resolved in the 1965 treaty which normalized relations between Japan and South Korea, and that tensions between the two countries were caused by South Korea's failure to abide by the treaty. He was considered a hard-liner with respect to Japan's military policies. In 2007, he was the initiator of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD) during his first tenure as prime minister, aimed at resisting China's rise as an economic and military superpower. He advocated reforming the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) by revising Article 9 of the pacifist Japanese constitution that outlawed the country from declaring war or acquiring ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. He enacted military reforms in 2015 that allowed Japan to exercise collective security and JSDF deployments overseas, the passage of which was controversial and met with protests. Abe's premiership was also known for his attempts to counter Japan's economic stagnation, nicknamed "Abenomics". In 2019, Abe's government initated a trade war with South Korea.

Abe was assassinated by Tetsuya Yamagami (a former Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force sailor) on 8 July 2022 while he was delivering a campaign speech in Nara.
