Yea, mother nature fucked up Japan so they came back a bit, but unless they're actually running the business a different way now (which who knows, maybe they are), we may be in this position again with them soon.

That said, we've given a shitload more to financial institutions which provide absolutely nothing but debt to people. How many people have gone bankrupt with absolutely no help based on bad investments, and the economy got fucked thanks to these institutions not only making bad investments but championing them and even hiding how bad they were, and we fucking rewarded them for it.

In comparison to that, the GM stuff seems pretty mild.
