charles is often wrong
and this time is no exception
he tends to see the trees, able to count them, but just about always drop the ball when it comes to the forests, all forests

china next? if china is next then america is now.
real income continues to rise and all families continue to hang together, saving, investing, educating, per what civilization states tends to do.

the world at large is mistaken in thinking that the chinese would somehow be unable to take some serious pain and fold up on trade, currency, ... diplomacy, positioning

the world is just plain wrong

because there is only one civilization state in the world, and so the limitation on the rest of world's ability to understand is to be expected, until one fine day, when all becomes clear

remember, food inflation is GOOD for china, and food is very cheap, especially relative to wage gains.

also note, the average wang-3-cups hold on accountability of his government is feared by his government, at all levels.

the average joe-6-pack cannot hold his government to task because the governing authorities keep changing actors on joe-6-pack, taking turns to stiff him, while making him believe change is no change. the ruling system is so deformed when viewed from a distance, it is sad that so many can be fooled so much by so few in so very much obvious way.

reflect on the last paragraph, please, for your own and family's sake, and getgold.

The day I discovered why the Habsburg empire fell. I was in the castle, south of Prague.

This was one of the castles:
Message 26972710

I noticed (in a second castle where he used for hunting around the area) the heir to the Habsburg throne had a lift is his castle.

Immediately I found the root cause of the Habsburg empire fall. They were way behind their times.

Technology had created a whole new body of population who wanted a new form of government and better lives.

(not all of them moved as huddled masses to North America and Latin America else it would have been nastier even earlier than 1914)

The heir of the throne never made it. He was shot in Serajevo.
Which signalled begin of WW I.

Internet and mobile phones in Africa and Middle East is shwing the same signal. Governments are behind their times.

Populaces want new form of government and better quality of life.
