And, how exactly will that help? Won't increasing salaries increase the overheads of the companies, thus increasing the purchase price of goods? I guess I must have missed this class in economics or is it just Japalogic? And, of course, in order to do this the companies are gonna expect…

Yeah, it's sad and true that to introduce baby hatches on a large scale would be impossible in Japan, however, with the large amount of recent baby deaths due to dis-functional and desperate parents there certainly is a need for better support. It sickens me to see this kind of…
