Voices of outrage from Fukushima!

南相馬市60代男性「自宅一軒、竹中工務店に560万円で除染を依頼し、現場の
下請けはピンハネされまくって、70万円で
作業をする。末端の作業員は日当約8千円。除染が終了したら仕事がなくなるから、皆、
いい加減な仕事しかしない。それで雇用が確保され、経済が回る。それ
が除染ビジネスの実態」
A man in his 60s, Minamisoma city: 
“A request for decontamination of one home with the Takenaka 
Firm will cost 5,600,000 JPY. At the actual scene the 
subcontractor has lots of bribes and kickbacks pilfered 
from him and it costs 700,000 JPY to do the job. 
It’s about 8,000 JPY per day for the final workers. 
Because the jobs disappear when the decontamination is finished,
 everyone’s doing real sloppy work. By doing that, they’re 
guaranteed long-term employment, and the economy turns. That’s 
the real state of the decontamination business.”

福島の仮設・20代女性「子どもがいるので被ばくについて勉強したいと思い、県内の講演会等に
行くようにしている。しかし
偉い先生の講演会は、「放射線量はほとんどゼロ」「内部被ばくなどない」「福島は大丈夫」ばかり。
正確な情報が、手に入らない。それを声に出すと、さらに
非難される」
A woman in her 20s, Fukushima provisional housing: 
“Because I have children I think I’d like to learn about 
radiation exposure, so I’m making a point of going to 
lectures within the prefecture. 
However, a lecture of an esteemed professor was all ‘The 
radiation level is nearly zero,’ ‘there is no such internal 
radiation exposure,’ and ‘Fukushima is perfectly
fine.’ 
I can’t get any accurate information. If you raise your 
voice about that, you’ll get criticized all the more.”

  1. Yeah, it’s called ‘Doing what’s right, and ignoring peer pressure.”
    It requires the Japanese culture to stop excusing lying, which is never excusable, ewspecially to ‘save face’.
    It’s called living my reason, and not emotion. It’s the difference between Eastern adn Western ‘worldview’.
