AI Thread Summary
Japan is poised to replace Prime Minister Naoto Kan due to widespread dissatisfaction with his administration, particularly regarding the government's handling of the Fukushima disaster and recovery efforts following the Great Tohoku Earthquake and tsunamis. This leadership change reflects ongoing instability, as Kan's resignation marks the sixth prime ministerial transition in five years. The situation presents a significant challenge for Yoshihiko Noda, who recently assumed office and was expected to address the recovery from the disaster. Kan's departure is seen as a major embarrassment for Noda, complicating the government's efforts to regain public trust and effectively manage the crisis.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup.
