Japan is so wild, having leaders accept responsibility for their failures
Its just a different culture.
i mean they killed 80 fucking people
Rookie numbers by American standards. And where's the immediate search for an uninvolved scapegoat?
They'd mostly do the same here, outside of a handful of particularly horrible Musks. Sorry, people*
Stepping down isn't much of a punishment, they get to remove themselves from the aftermath.
Why can't I kill 80 people and say sorry guys I'm stepping down, have fun!
Taking responsibility, cool. But isn't it also kind of fucking off and letting someone else clean the mass?
He's staying on in an executive roll in order to handle the fallout and compensation, actually.
Thanks for the info!
CEO's get all the benifits and 0 repurcussions for their decisions. 80 people died and now I get to remove myself the situation at hand?
That is some grade A BULLSHIT
read the last paragraph, they are resigning as president but still staying to clean up
I mean, that’s not the
usual JapaneseSamurai way to accept responsibility for killing people. 🗡️Edit: sjw
Just like how Americans usually resolve their disputes by a duel at 10 paces?
Even in jest, your comment is a very negative stereotype to perpetuate. As someone who has been on the receiving end of those types of comments/jokes, I think it would be good to be a bit more considerate of others who are affected by that kind of stereotyping.
I'm pretty sure the Japanese way to take responsibility for killing people is to not.
A government not taking responsibility for their actions? Show me a country who hasn’t done that
Please elaborate.
