the big article
This article isn't really about the economic effects of "El Uno Grande" (the big one: for those of us who are dumb), however they do touch on the fact that it will cost over $300,000,000. That would suck. Also a lot of people would die, which would also suck. I'd miss people; at least most people.
I think that the real problem with the big one is that, even though it is inevitable, there is really nothing more we can do to protect ourselves, financially, emotionally, and physically. We would be screwed and there really isn't enough people with money right now who could just help us, as we are so gracious to do for everyone. The money doesn't fall out of the air.
So Japan's stocks are tanking since the quakester. Everything is pretty much in the pooper. Neikki fell 17.5% since the tsunami. They lost like 37 trillion yen (458 billion dollars). They are on and off apparently. The Japanese people have a fantastic way of fixing these things.
Well its about freakin' time. Like, don't get me wrong, the tsunami was a very bad thing that killed a lot of people, but, asia is killing us in the stock market and it feels as though we are all screwed. This makes us feel like we can do it. Unfortunately, Japan, along with the rest of asia, is the most efficient at fixing their problems. Sure they fix it with their half-ass "made in japan" quality, but the job gets done none the less.
