Japan: Homless to Clean up Radioactive Waste

That would be an interesting way to deal with the problem, except you have to understand the death penalty and capital punishment system is far different in the US than it is almost anywhere else in the world. People simply aren't encarcerated at the same rate, so getting enough people from the prison population would be problematic.

Last I checked, there were less than 200 people in all of Japan who received death sentences. That's nowhere near enough people to clean up the mess in Fukushima.

This is absolutely disgusting, but the rabbit hole is much deeper.

Yeah, good luck with that. Our economies are interlinked. Boycotting Japan means that America's economy will collapse.
