I agree with your main points in here. I think the demographics issue that they created themselves is their biggest problem. I wonder if that is one reason they are pushing so hard in the robotics field. Perhaps they think robots will make up for the lack of human workers - giving them that "giant leap in productivity". Should be interesting to watch how it all plays out.

Thanks for the interesting article and have a nice day!
