sakurala,
The problem is ALREADY here in a massive way, combine the poor asset management with the loss of 50million pension records & its a total disaster NOW & from here on in.
The only possible way to "fix" this is to deny or severely cut payments, nothing else will work

While I think the US offer somewhat sincere I think there was another reason.
That was to try keep the rest of the world from freaking out, the last thing BIG BIZ wanted to happen was to have REAL BIG demo's to have NPPs shut in other countries, I mean Germans got pretty stressed out but if that spread to the US or France etc can you imagine, that was the last thing the US govt wanted to happen

I am sorry dude, but we all know, too late of course, that your a lieing SOB!
If you had told us all that tepco very early on were all set to ABANDON the NPPs you can bet the publics reation, especially those closest wud have been different, I bet there are many 100s of thousands within the first 100km of that plant are bloody furious with the govts lies & deceit!
I wonder how many more of us wud have left if we hadnt been lied to, I know myself I might have left & the pleading of my relatives wud have been even harder to deal with!
All said & done where I am & because I aint young the mrs & I are probably not going to be affected too badly this time round, BUT all those younger people, that were within 100km say, my god!

marcelito,
You sir/madame have NAILED IT!
While it commendable those who work as police, coast guard etc, its doesnt mean there are not COLLOSAL AMOUNTS OF WASTE! Because simply put there is, tons of waste that is & I get sick & tired of all those stories about how beaurocrates etc played a major role in Japans glory days, I say BS!
Back then in the 80s Japan did well NOT because of beaurocrates, civil servants BUT DESPITE THEM!
Since the beginning of the 90s the cost & brutal inefficency, the theiving, stealing, kick backing, amakudari ways HAVE BEEN DESTROYING THE COUNTRY, the financial cost of these groups is truly massive. You have to remember its civil "servants" who draw up budgets & spend WAY MORE the country has a hope in contributing tax wise.
IT HAS TO BLOODY STOP OR JAPAN WILL NOT SURVIVE!
And they have to start working smart for petes sake & start just doing the serving part instead of just creating more beaurocracy & ways to waste my taxes!

The ones who are suing up their cut to 15%!
These people have the easiest jobs, take holidays, & have better pensions, their pay shud be cut more!

Yuri,
Not necessarily, if Japan wud admit & deal with its history it wudnt a problem today, but Japan has chosen to keep its head in the sand all these decades so sadly YES the sins of your ancestors HAVE become your sins, but it didnt have to be that way it was a concious choice that JAPAN MADE.

scoobydoo,
this whole fb ipo was total BS lie combined with trading system failure/screwup!
the underwriters & big investors MUST be investigated as this stinks to high hell! EVERYONE at the starting gate was looking to quickly flip for profit, HELLO that AINT INVESTING, & sadly stock markets are no more about flipping for quick profit & I will bet you a zillion$$$ there are TONS & TONS of inside info that the man/woman on the street NEVER EVER SEES!!!
Its all become highly rigged, I put a few$$ in over the years but I stopped about 5-7yrs ago the BS factors involved clearly made it a very bad "investment " for the little guys, vote with your $$$ folks avoid this casino & just save in yr bank account, this has all just gotten insanely stupid & this FB IPO is a sick sick joke! I hope the big boys PAY BIGTIME as they bloody well shud!

Hide,
The thing with hashimoto is he is a jekyll/hyde. His rants about politicials being ineffectual are bang on, but then he goes off on tattoos & teachers & the kimigayo & he sounds like a hitler in the making, thats what scares most non-japanese I suspect
Posted in: Japanese politicians cannot decide on anything. Without an overhaul of the way the nation’s government is structured, Japan will sink within three to five years.

Whether this guy is guilty or not waiting this long is some seriously sick crap! Even most dictators wudnt do that!
And with the notoroious FORCED confessions & a near 100% conviction rate, if I was to bet I wud bet at least 50% of the cases have some VERY SERIOUS ISSUES, this is so way beyond messed up!
So I will trot out my usual advice, if you even think the authorities are looking at you a bit funny you had better catch a plane outta here because chances for fair trials in Japan its pretty much a no chance in hell situation

For the little guy I wudnt recommend investing to MAKE $$$ in realestate anywhere in Japan, unless you have access to those secret auctions where you can buy those company owned resort spots which I have seen being sold for less than peanuts so they cus be flipped, no doubt there are a lot kickbacks you wud need to pay to the powers that be that sold out their own companies but............
At best at the end of the day you hope to sell so that the years you spent paying you can get kind of a "discount" compared to if you had rented.
That said I bought but am in the sticks a bit, not sure if I wud have considered buying in or close to a city, the additional risks for me wudnt likely have been worth it

Seems like China is following pretty much the same path as Japan did/does but with more potential nastiness in store(from a physical sense) for non-Chinese.
You see the same kind of poor understanding of how their own country & the rest of the world interact & whats good, bad, or wrong etc etc.
But at the same time idiot foreigners everywhere need to be dealt with, but in an appropriate manner, cut down on the sensationalism, like they are after "our" money, women etc, I guess to an extent its expected but hopefully Chinese will grow up...................unlikely.
Like I have said many times, China cud very easily explode/implode or both, this blurb shows they can/will get collectively hot under the collar pretty easily! Glad I dont live in China
