Serene state of mind

7. It's true that part of the industries in our state suffer from manpower constraints.
But You shouldn't believe the story as if whole labor market suffers from labor shortage.
You may as well understand that what they mean by labor shortage is they are having trouble finding convenient cheap labor or new college graduates.
As for hardship in hiring new graduates, I accuse it's what companies have brought upon themselves.
Under prolonged depression, they treated second baby-boomers coldly and encouraged youth back then to give up marriage and having children.
The result is current population decline, and this move was already predicted decades ago, wasn't it?

8. Putting aside right or wrong of those policies,
The grounds why current Ruling parties stubbornly oppose same-sex marriage and dual surnames is because those system can upset traditional family conception of our nation.
What they mean by Traditional family conception is Patriarchy; a family system that is ruled or controlled by men which is often seen in slavery and feudalistic society, and it has retained at the cost of women's liberty.
Superfluously, according to the constitution of our state, emperor is designated as a symbol of the unity of the people, and you might learn actual example of patriarchy from the Imperial household.
Is it why Panjandrums cling to current Law that designates only male Imperial decendants to become Emperors? -It might be a chicken-and-egg question, though.
Then it wouldn't be wrong that if the only daughter of current Emperor becomes Empress, it's time that our state can be certified to establish gender equality.
Meanwhile, that Patriarchy still rules our nation needs to be put in question than that women cannot become empresses, since empresses existed in history of our state.

9. Strategic mutual-benefitical relationship? I'm also the one who cannot help being skeptical of what the Contract state says after seeing various evildoing by this State.
This Phrase means altruistic pretense, and their true intention is exploitation -is it fine to see an underlying meaning like this?
Recently, an assembly made a proposal at a Diet session to build special trading relationships between states facing tariff battle caused by White-supremacist President who assumed the office last month, which I heard on the radio news.
To tell the truth, I've imagined the similar thing like this Assembly's opinion -but in order to avoid getting involved in the trade war between the two Large states, neighboring Continent state should not be included.
