I think people are definitely frustrated with how the refugee crisis was dealt. There is a perception -- whether true or not -- that Merkel opened the floodgates for unfettered extra-EU immigration. You are right in that there seems to be no serious solutions to these perceived problems, just a build-up of anger.

Except Apple would already have reputation/brand value as well. Perhaps even more than, say Ford, since they are known as a technology company, and the cars of the future are electric and self-driving.

Re:Japan's economy falls back into recession
on Tuesday November 17, 2015 @11:58AM (#10582355)
To add to this discussion, the pyramid scheme of constant population growth to pay for the elderly is not going to be sustainable forever in first world countries.
Maybe Japan is intelligently embracing these 'growing pains' (by which I mean the pain resulting from a shrinking population, which the west will have to face at some point) now, by investing in robots and automation. I think they are getting a head start in a race against ageing that we will all (all of us with birthrates below 2.1, that is) have to compete in at some point.
