2. OH, Please!

This is at least a level 6 from the get go, and why anyone would expect improvement, given that TEPCO has done nothing, the Japanese government has done nothing, and neither has sought outside help in any form, plus the congenital lying that's been the hallmark of this catastrophe...

These arrogant, criminal fuckers have committed crimes against the entire planet.
