Hi CB, Too funny a post.

On the matter of <<what it was like in China>> ... it was sort of like Philippines during the Asian Financial Storm, when the local situation was so messed up already, that any additional tide washing over from abroad simply made not one iota bit of difference.

On the matter of <<money is ... electricity>>. I can picture this scheme of modelling, because I understand electrical systems:

a. The system was originally designed for 3V 0.25 mAmp power supply, running a pair of speakers

b. The boss Congress hooked two atomic reactors to the system, code named Fannie and Freddie

c. Uncle Greenspin removed the surge protectors, code named Monetary Prudence

d. J6P consumers replaced the circuit breakers with a bit of borrowed coins called Debt, and

e. DotCom investors replaced the speakers with an atomic bomb, code named Bubble.

Now let's see what the thus newly improved system can do.

Chugs, Jay

I enjoyed this, but I would like to point out that the Depression was not bad for everyone. Those who had savings (and whose bank did not fail) and jobs were better off than before. And, of course, it was quite a prosperous time if you were a "coin collector"... an innocent avocation not at all related to the dastardly practice of gold-hoarding...
