I had no doubt Japan would be back up and running within a short period of time. They have probably the best system in place to recover from an earthquake considering they get so many...and the Japanese just seem to fix shit.

Meanwhile, New Orleans is still being rebuilt...

Money is also a big factor. Also not having a total re-reDumbfk ex-president create a Derpville for future generations helps too.

Japan is more motivated to get shit done.
Good on them, I've got no doubt that they will be back on their feet soon.

Hopefully they have some better technology

From an economist point of view, rebuilding and cleaning up the desctruction may actually stimulate their economy enough to drop interest rates.
