“It’s crazy that pachinko wastes so much electricity,” said Mr Ishihara, before issuing a typically blustering government threat to unplug them.

And how much Profit IS, / soon to be, WAS made to :

The Utility Company before the Meltdown to power the Parlor's?

The Parlors themselves and the number of people they Employ and give Pay Checks to, to "Have a Comfortable Life"?

The Taxes paid to the Government to keep "it" up and running from the Parlors?

Cut back some? Yes. Pull the Plug??? Recession around the corner... And a Very UPSET PoP U lation! ! ! ! ! !

This recession has hurt alot of us I have been unemployed for a year now,but it doesn't make sence to me either . Cut jobs and to save the company money and make the government and states carry the bill. I am glad to recieve the unemployment check every week, but it it just because the greed in corporations is more important.Japan is going to get worse,and power needs is a big factor,but to shut down money making entertainment is bad buiseness. They should just take a portion of the profits and use that to help pay expences.Any way thats my b&m for the day. I m glad i have my machines to entertain me.
