Tepco in most frank admission over Fukushima's nuclear disaster

TOKYO (REUTERS) - The operator of a Japanese nuclear power plant that blew up after a tsunami last year said on Friday its lack of safety and bad habits were behind the world's worst nuclear accident in 25 years, its most forthright admission of culpability.

The operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co, said it accepted the findings of a parliamentary inquiry into the Fukushima nuclear disaster that accused the company of "collusion" with industry regulators.

Across every country, every industry, every government, the foxes are in charge
of all of the henhouses and their only concern is for their own diet of $$$$ and
their never-sated greed for more profit.

then us boomers will die off, leaving a much small demographic which will be forced to live at a much lower standard of living, and serving as various forms of fodder for the 1%.
Already the resource wars are heating up and the currency war is on a set course ( anyone notice that China has been buying and stockpiling tons of gold?).
The race to the bottom only complicated by the race to kill off the planet.

Carlin was so prophetic...
