Japan announced it will start releasing radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean starting Thursday. The move has been condemned by a number of Pacific nations, including China.

Also, I saw reddit libs downplaying it, coming up with excuses about low radioactivity, and why it’s not a bad thing, so they can go back to brunch. All because it’s Japan doing it, which can do no wrong. If it were China, they’d be frothing at the mouth.

They would have to send 2.2 million metric tons of water into space, costing over a trillion dollars. And when one of the rockets inevitably blows up, the environmentalists would cry over some steam that’s less radioactive than an airplane flight.

That’d be really funny if it happened though. Maybe we should try blowing up the contaminated water. Itbwill never hurt anyone ever again.
