I pushed the line in 1986-1989 in Brazil: Take all the pole climbing jobs from the Germans. Create a centre of execelence just to supply bodies, legs Brains. I know now that the people in decision making positions don't know what I do. Thus, they and all who depend on them has to suffer. That is why I became a callous son of bitch. For people deserve what it is on store for them.

No Brazil? Fleece Eastern Europe! eastern European banks complain that their coffers are being drained by western owners desperate to bolster their own account books; and the more financially robust capitals of “new Europe”, such as Warsaw, Prague and Bratislava are disassociating themselves from the grim plight faced by leaders in Budapest, Riga and Kiev. ... For years, they spent far more money than their economies were making, and they are now struggling to service their debts as global demand for products shrivels, tax revenues shrink, currencies weaken and nervous markets drive up the cost of borrowing more cash. Hungary and Latvia have already sought billions of euro from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to help them survive the crisis, and Romania is expected to follow suit; non-EU members Ukraine, Serbia and Belarus have also received rescue packages from the IMF. While Hungary, the Baltic states and the Balkans are wrestling with the most serious debt and budget imbalances, even the region’s most stable countries are entering a sharp slowdown: countries such as Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic are not at risk of financial collapse, but their export-driven economies are suffering as demand dives across the EU, and the Polish zloty and Czech koruna have been pummelled along with neighbouring currencies. irishtimes.com
