how convenient, TEPCO told us they knew there could be a big tsunami but only 4 days before and with no evidence of having had the conversation. if it wasn't obvious that NISA was in cahoots with TEPCO it now should be.
the problem is since they are in cahoots, nobody will be charged, nobody will go to jail, there will be no help from the administrative / legislative side of the government. the only way to get justice would be for everyone affected to SUE TEPCO and hope the courts are not as corrupt as the rest of government.
TEPCO should be responsible for the cost of scraping up all their radioactive contamination and buying all contaminated produce. they should buy all the land in the areas where people are not entitled to return to their homes, they should compensate all the people for their lost livelihoods and businesses, they should pay for the emotional distress inflicted on parents with small children who worry if their children will get cancer.
and if they can't they should be put into bankruptcy.

personally i find its a little worrying that he is affiliated with the the cult sokkagakai. although the problem with japanese politicians (all politicians?) is that they are all more concerned about playing politics than actually doing something for japan.

if the government actually tested the food, they wouldn't have had to do it themselves. that's the problem, there is no comprehensive transparent testing program in place. the government just says its okay to avoid having to take action and you're suppose to take it on faith that its safe, when in fact, the government has no idea..

tepco's management gambled that a tsunami of that size would not happen (at least on their watch) and lost and should pay up. tepco should be put into bankruptcy to ensure that the money they make is going to pay off their bets and not being used for pay offs. i don't know about now but before this apparently tepco spent more on advertising and promotion than sharp which actually sells something. so how many ads do you see promoting tepco? and where do you think that money goes?

japan needs a leader but japanese society is not geared for that. the nail that sticks out is hammered down, even by their own party. just look at how often the PM changes.

time for the u.s. to also develop a carrier killer missile. there would be a very good market for them in asia.

the cause of current financial crisis is too much debt. incurring more debt to stimulate the economy is exactly the wrong thing to do as its just kick the can down the road and drags on future growth. japan has been doing it for years and it hasn't helped.
as for how bad it gets, its anyones guess, depends on a lot of things. if there is no immediate crisis, there is a possibility of a muddle thru period of low growth, high unemployment and inflation but if there is a substantial collapse or default like of one of the PIIGS, all bets are off.
as for what countries are in for a rough ride, all developed countries with substantilal debt are in for a rough ride, japan, europe, u.s.,. the balancing factor is how much natural resources the country has. a more or less self sufficient country can default on its debt to other countries and still have everything it needs to survive. in that respect u.s., australia, brazil should be ok. china will have a problem as it doesn't have enough food.

this also raises the question of other feed for other livestock, chickens, pigs, milk cows, etc.
this should all be charged to tepco. they should pay all damages.
