lunatic comments

It’s very disheartening to be forced to work beyond 65.

It doesn't seem like the pension system is ensuring a good life for us after retirement.

If other companies are honoring the tests, why isn't Toyota?If you don’t agree with the tests, there are legal procedures to request a change. Resorting to illegal practices is not an option.

What's the plan?

Are we throwing that debris into the sea?

In my country, dolphins swim with children and play freely.

I haven't heard of any attacks ever.

Are dolphins now considered dangerous, human-attacking animals?

The bureaucracy of this place makes me feel like kicking down some doors too.

If you check the news article we are referring to.

In the 2nd paragraph states that The Consumer Price Index (CPI) -- which excludes volatile fresh food prices --

And yet the government wants everyone to believe that the official inflation rate is somehow only about 2.5%.

Japan excludes fresh food and energy prices when calculating the CPI. This makes the official inflation rate less meaningful.

We must raise funds to build a real Gundam robot!

How is Kishida still the Prime Minister after all these years? How did we let this happen?!

You are just blaming it on the gaijin: Bach.

Reminds me of fiascos like Nissan, Olympus, and Mt. Gox. The only one held accountable is the foreigner, while Japanese executives often avoid indictment.

Tsunekazu Takeda, former head of the Japanese Olympic Committee, $2 million

Haruyuki Takahashi, former executive of the Japanese advertising giant Dentsu, $8.2 million

Joji Masui, former head of the consulting company Amuse.

Dentsu, ADK Holdings, ....the list goes on and on.

Saga could face a similar disaster to Fukushima, whether due to an earthquake, tsunami, or human error. It's a potential accident waiting to happen.

speculate the Japanese government and the BOJ stepped into the market to buy the yen for the dollar.

manipulate the markets all you want.

it's not gonna work.

Is there any scientific basis for this product?

Oh, the infinite ways things could go wrong.

the punitive steps against the lawmakers, saying only that he would act "as soon as possible."

So, he is saying there's a chance... of consequences for them... eventually?

He will get a suspended sentence and be back playing with his toy guns in no time.

I knew that the leaks of radioactive water underground from Fukushima would bring us consequences.

I received one of those phone calls the other day. 

A trader from Thailand wants me to invest 500,000 yen in a car company that is going to dominate the market.

I just need to transfer the money to their bank account in Thailand to get rich.

Soon, we'll have to pay to swim in the sea and walk in the park.

Who owns the sea and the mountains? Why should we pay them for using our natural heritage?

That funish is on purpose.

Probably the same guy who did the Tokyo Olympigs 2020.

read that again. please.

I'm referring to the extend of the damage.

Excellent!

They will discover the extent of the ongoing leaks and unfortunate incidents that TEPCO has been experiencing all this time. Negligent errors such as leaving the radioactive waste faucet open need to be addressed and managed effectively.

Seems to me that China is not much different from Japan.

Every point of the previous comment applies to Japan perfectly.

No TEPCO members have been criminally charged or tried for the Fukushima disaster. While there have been investigations and lawsuits, no individual has been held criminally responsible.

We must demand a trial.

Just one would be enough to force all the truth into the open.

Nissan needs a Carlos Ghosn to survive.

The execs at TEPCO responsible resigned and faced trial, and TEPCO has to pay for the decommissioning and compensation. That is accountability.

Executives at TEPCO did not face criminal trials for the Fukushima disaster.

Some resigned due to public pressure, while others cited accountability or a desire to facilitate change within the company.

Remember when Dai-3 melted down and had a massive explosion on live TV?

TEPCO told us it was just water.

Then, when the radiation peaked in Tokyo, TEPCO didn't inform us until over three months later.

And the radiation numbers? They were low because TEPCO was measuring them two meters above ground.

Haven't you learned already not to trust TEPCO?

I'd really appreciate it if the IAEA could conduct an on-site investigation instead of relying on hearsay.

That's the advantage of the fax and hanko.

Unhackable.

A fax is very easy to hack.

Pin two needles on the phone line, in the street.

Connect it to your router in promiscuous mode.

You'll get an unencrypted PS file that you can open with any PDF reader.

This statement is patently false.

That statement is totally true.

South Korea: The South Korean government has repeatedly expressed its opposition to the wastewater release, citing concerns about the potential impact on its fishing industry and public health. In response to the release, South Korea has banned the import of seafood from Fukushima Prefecture and is considering expanding the ban to cover all of Japan.

China: In August 2023, China widened an existing ban on seafood from Fukushima Prefecture to cover the whole of Japan. The Chinese government has also accused Japan of violating "international moral and legal obligations" by releasing the wastewater into the ocean.

Taiwan: Taiwan has expressed concerns about the Fukushima wastewater release. In April 2023, Taiwan's Fisheries Agency issued a statement urging Japan to reconsider its decision to release the wastewater into the ocean.
