POPS UK Faces "Double-Dip" Recession

by abailart 6-30-2009

Based upon overall analysis and prognosis initiated two years ago, I would suggest that this is not only an issue facing the British economy.

POPS Capitalism is Not Your Friend

by abailart 3-24-2009

<<<Unregulated, gluttonous capitalism didn't just "appear" when Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers started to cry "Uncle!". The signs were there long before that. This time when we finally realize that anything too big to fail should be nationalized, when we understand that government regulation should be mandatory when dealing with predators, let's not take a giant step backwards and slide back into "free enterprise capitalism", giving the reigns of financial power back to the people that only care about themselves.>>>

POPS Bail Out won't save American Economy

by abailart 9-28-2008

Best spend it on a national health system. That's what each American could get for the 3,000 dollars they are being asked to pay to save themselves from poverty.

POPS The True Cost of Rewarding Greedy Bankers

by abailart 9-22-2008

Note the names of some of these great institutions that rewarded greed. Note the immediate cost to UK taxpayers. I would be interested to see figures relating to the taxes of US citizens' tax bills compares. (Oh, meanwhile, Barclays in London have just guaranteed 2.5 billion dollars in bonuses and salaries to a firm called Lehmans that they just bought a bit of.)

POPS UK Recession is Months Away

by abailart 8-18-2008

Not surprising news. But a chance to reflect on the past 18 months. First, there was denial of an economic slowdown. Then the idea of recession was laughed at. Now the discussion is of whether the recession will be a big one or a little one. Interesting contemporary case study of how the rhetoric of denial runs parallel to the realities.

Stupid so-called scientists! What do they know? Only a few of them come out with nonsense like this. Most real scientists know it is all part of a socialist conspiracy. Anyway, the Singularity will be with us soon and we will all live for ever and have orgasms at the touch of a button.
