3rd. We still get a lot of cars and electronic from them, as does the world.

Toyota's not doing so well. Well, I can say one thing, Tokyo is still the richest city in the world.

Public debt is nearly 200% of GDP. Japan wasn't doing too well even before the earthquake.

I doubt they have a teaspoon full of that stuff. I think you mean Boron ?

Lol, I stopped studying chemistry in Year 9 and somehow managed to get through the rest without any further formal science education.

:blush:

Made Zeno's depression flareups worse, but aside from that... maybe? Zeno still worried about a few on here...

So they've pretty much lost one reactor and now it looks like they're set to lose another. Another meltdown

Well there is supposed to be a partial meltdown of reactor two.

Everyone that's posted is alright. Still no contact from some of their friends/relatives yet though.

Just saw a piece on the local news web site that unit 3 may be stating to meltdown. This is by way of AP

Monday's not gonna be a pretty sight on the world's share markets, I'd expect. I don't think they'll open the markets in Tokyo, but there's that government debt issue and 120 million rich people who'll be in even less hurry to spend money than usual.

Not that it matters too much while they're busy trying to stop a clump of toxic, highly radioactive material sinking into the ground water.

Sometimes I think that these natural disasters are a good thing. The way the international community pulls together reminds one that not everything is shit.

That's a very costly reminder.

Bah, physics is just applied maths, chemistry is just applied physics and biology is just applied chemistry.

To become an economist you must have studied maths so, by extension, you've studied all the hard sciences.

Maybe, maybe not. Can we possibly be assured that the Japanese people will be fine? There has been plenty of aftershocks since Friday. Well, Japan has been through alot of bad stuff, like the 1923 Earthquake. They really got hurt during World War Two.

Yes, we can be assured that they will be fine.
