Electricity Rationing Starting Monday In Tokyo
siddesu writes "Japanese officials are announcing a schedule for electricity blackouts to last from tomorrow until the end of April. Practically all suburbs of Tokyo will be affected by the blackouts. The 23 districts of central Tokyo seem to be exempt for the moment, but if supply is not sufficient, blackouts are possible. Electricity will be interrupted for about 3 hours a day in each area."
That would never fly in America. We don't have more resources, when there are less people. Our people *are* our resources. Or, more specifically, each generation needs to be much larger than the previous, so they can pay for the social security and medicaid and medicare benifits of the generations before it who have written a check on their backs, because saving their own money is "too hard".
