> [@ProgRocker](#): > > Officials actually lied to Gorbachev about Chernobyl. They told him everything was fine and that it’d probably be back within a day… Government and officials lie in these situations at the expense of the citizens and shareholders. Perhaps it buys the big boys time to exit their positions to some extent. The industry folks are sure to lie because it’s self preservation, or an attempt at it anyhow. The government lies…well every time their mouth opens up. 😉 We’ve not seen rock bottom yet for Japan IMO. Further sugar coating is needed most likely. ---

I can’t imagine the morale in Japan right now. every other day another 7.0 quake… radiation scares, economic uncertainty… on top of the fact that japanese men are larger consumers of make-up than are japanese women… and then they live into thier 90’s which is totally useless… ---
