Japan not recovering from Tsunami right now

Japan's tsunami recovery stalls

Japan in some ways reminds me of the United States just after Hurricane Katrina. Both during the Katrina disaster and after nothing at all seemed to go right. Luckily we here in the U.S. are not having a natural disaster on the scale of 20,000 years or more and of writing off 500 square miles of anyone who wants to stay alive long term like they are now in Japan. But if you combine the political problems of the U.S. trying to reach a new debt ceiling and the Tsunami in Japan you get a clearer view of exactly what is happening in Japan- Nothing.

So, several months after the Tsunami there is no relief for those suffering who survived. Mostly relief is coming from outside of Japan because the government appears to be paralyzed. I think we should look carefully at what is happening in Japan precisely because the rest of the western world's governments are having similar kinds of problems. It appears Western governments are designed only for good times. Everyone thought the good times would roll on forever ever since the 1950s. But it appears that the old style good times are over because of globalization, global climate change, overpopulation and the difficulty of political systems to navigate in these waters worldwide. As long as governmental systems could keep growing they had a way forward but now with things getting worse it seems that governments can't function right. It's something to think about worldwide. It's possible that governments might need to be re-adapted for these new and different times that no one has ever seen before. When something hasn't occurred before there is no historical way to deal with things as different that are happening on earth yet. Unless the governments find ways to deal with the real needs of their peoples likely they will collapse one by one. The real problem is: As these governments collapse will new and better governments form or will every country one by one turn into something like Somalia with just chaos as a result? The answer is up to all of us. Think about it.
