An excellent little video on the spread of unemployment: current.com But every cloud has a silver lining. As a hirer of people providing services, that's a happy picture. It's very annoying when one wishes to go shopping and those providing goods and services are indifferent to one's purchasing interests. When Tarken-san was wanting to hire electrician, plumber etc a couple of years ago, he'd meet them on the golf course or in the cafe or somewhere and they'd promise they really would call out to his place, maybe even as soon as next week, to do the work. But next week they'd be on the golf course again with him. A couple of years ago, it was not worth trying to go to my favourite cafe between 11.30am and 2pm because there were no seats. Now, I can go swanning in any time and there's space. Traffic is lighter as people save petrol and therefore money - they are not worried about The Greenhouse Effect and really have no idea what it is - something to do with the ozone layer. With all the snow and cold in China, Russia, Europe and across to North America, the Greenhouse Effect Doomsters are having trouble keeping enthusiasm for tax payers and citizens to pay loads of loot to them to keep Sol at bay. Maybe it will soon be time to go shopping for holiday homes in Hawaii, California and the south of France if mortgagees recover the residue of their loans and sell at auction. I did my time working for low pay. Now somebody else can have a turn at it and provide me with the goodies. It was annoying when everyone was rich and nobody wanted to work, and didn't think they should have to. They thought people in China should work for them for hardly any pay. Well, as it happens, people in China want to get pay increases too. Financial Relativity Theory is relentless, merciless and far-reaching, like gravity. Black Scholes and event horizons await the unwary. Mqurice
