The world is slowing

    Slowing means stimulus needed ?  Fiscal as opposed to monetary ?

       I guess that they will wait and see how bad it gets.  Big hoping it doesn’t go too negative …. (so they can wait it out with a few token gestures).

      Trouble might be, that it never does go very negative; but hovers around zero for a long time, leaving them in limbo-land.

    And the same clowns are in charge. 
     
    I think I am now suffering from Coulrophobia…

       I feel sorry for the `powers` that are now `being`. 
      They really are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

      Trouble is – non-clowns will recognize the impossibility of the position and go nowhere near the levers of power ………. leaving those levers to these (and then new) clowns.

      These are times for `waiters and watchers`, eh~!?

    Hope that the Webchat stays online.

    Short and very sharp responses from AEP.

      Good one~!
      (As I’ve said before – AEP speaks well, but writes horribly)

    Nick, your transcript thing (for those hard of hearing) is not bad at all. Working out for me at the moment, clear enough.

    The high youth unemployment rates are a problem. What probably matters is the (suddenish) increase in these numbers. Some countries have had high base rates(youth & general) for a very long time, I believe their populace has numbed/ adapted themselves to these high rates. So sort of not so bad (for those).

    The mine massacre thing is very sad. Selling price of an exhaust pipe, shareholders, militarised out of control police force, corrupt incompetent politicians, brutalised society, trade union power struggles, incompetent mine management, dagga, booze, muti. Fuck up.

       AxMan …. Why are you resorting to the transcript~?

      • axionication1

        The vimeo thing does not work for me (I am one of the knumbnuts (:)) that bought an apple product), the kiwi thing did not work for me (but of late does)… I guess I have just fallen into the kinky habit of reading your transcripts ( can do it very fast) + does not cost me in mobile data (will do this more often when seeing I am reaching my free monthly mobile data package limit (only look at your vids on home broadband over weekends).

        All a bit twisted but sense (&value) enough to me (thanks).

           The audio is not always Kiwi.  Tonight it is a Google player and should be downloadable via Real Player (if not other ways).

          Vimeo should play in iThings, as I pay them money to make it possible.

          I can’t find a slideshow that I can make work for iPeople though.
