Anyone who doesn’t realize the quake in Japan is a tragic load dumped on a fragile addict’s quivering back (i.e. the global recovery) will undoubtedly be surprised by how fast the global economy will start unraveling. Anyone who kept their eyes open is only wondering how a debt and propaganda-fueled recovery lasted this long.[/quote]Time will tell for Japan. The tragedy might revive Japanese entrepreneurship and benefit the world economy.
No doubt, in the short run, things are looking dark and the stock markets reacted accordingly.
The safe bet is a return to the status quo: comfortable decline in experienced hands. But Japan has been changed by natural disasters before. The Great Tohoku Earthquake could be the shock that pushes Japan not only to rebuild a city, but to remake itself politically for the 21st century.

I can’t understand why some of you are worrying about something at the time when folks at ground zero in japan are suffering massively… I mean, if at all it just proves the only one you think about is yourself.me me me me me me me. Oh my, what’s going to happen to me when the dust blows westward across the pacific and ends up on the west coast. Never mind there’s Hawaii in between, or there’s the rest of the world that’s up do do… Me me me me me….
[/quote]I have to agree with this.
The folks who’s homes were destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami – who are in shelters near the TEPCO facility have something to bitch about… We don’t, here in comfy California.I’ve heard (ironically, on NPR) that they are having issues getting food into the people of the region because the roads are shut down… because of the power plant. In other words – folks are in shelters, having lost EVERYTHING, and there’s not enough food for them.
The entire world is focused on the nuclear plant – and we’ve pretty much forgotten, in very short order, that 10’s of thousands either died or lost their homes. It makes Katrina look mild.
We need to get over ourselves.
