The ultimate high end resort. The drive up the the volcano is quite nerve wracking I recommend going by horse or preferably mule via the south trail.

TJ, I have never known anything else. I think that's why I feel more blase than you seem to be: < "this time is different, for this time fiat money inflation is planet engulfing" > It took me only until very early adulthood to notice that my nausages were being depleted even while I could keep them locked safely in a box like Schroedinger's cat.

When I learned in adulthood about quantum tunneling, black holes, distance compression and time dilatation, I learned how physics applies to regular life and especially how abstruse physics interacts with Newtonian monetary life down on the farm in my home village, with Helengrad quantum tunneling into my nausages to satiate their greed.

"They" can quantum tunnel into my Shroedinger's box and kill the cat while I'm not looking. Many people who thought they had their house and lifestyle sorted out are thinking "What the Hell happened there?" as they survey the depredations on their lives.

Meanwhile, on your inevitable theories: straightdope.com

We have been inside the black hole of fiat money devaluation for decades. The competition has been on to dilute the dupes as much as can be got away with. In the 1970s, there was quite a problem when the dlituion met up with the oil squeeze, especially in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with gold busting out from $35 an ounce to nearly $1000 an ounce and oil soaring from $2 a barrel to $40 a barrel. 20x was quite some increase.

Oil has gone from $10 a barrel to only about $100 a barrel and gold from less than $300 an ounce to nowhere near $6000 an ounce this century.

So, to match the 1970s, there is a long way to go. And there certainly seems to be plenty of impetus for fiat dilution and quantum tunneling into the hidden stashes of cash lurking in cupboards everywhere. In the miracle of modern financial physics, there is no hiding.

Perhaps you misunderstood when I said how the Dow would be 16,000 by Feb 2002 that economically the world would be zooming. It was more a commentary on the continuous dilution than expectations of continuing business success, though it was not evident at the time just how spectacular Big Brother waste and destruction would be in the first decade of the 21st century.

Now we are nearing the end game of Financial Relativity Theory as the debts accelerate to the speed of light and the increasing mass of debts and the energy required for further propulsion of that mass exceeds the capacity of all humans combined. As the mass increases, as it nears the speed of light, it turns into its own black hole and hordes of humans will reach the event horizon to suffer financial spaghettification en.wikipedia.org

Perhaps the event horizon is as close as the week now coming. NZ$ is zooming up some more, with US$ now at half price. That's even though NZ$ is disappearing into its own black hole propelled by debts mounting at $1.3 billion per month [which is real money for 1 million workers with lowish GDP per person].

I'm betting that Shroedinger's financial cat is still alive when we open the box a week from now.

TJ, it's always fun to wonder about things, but you being in France in such a rural enclave when the USA is about to self-destruct, or experience a sudden panic by millions of people around the world, looks like reasonably good timing, which might or might not be purely good luck*.

Being first to the exits is always handy in emergencies.

As you like to point out, the bosses of Beijing understand that they are only in charge to a limited extent and they fear the mob, rightly. Those doing deals in Washington right now think they are in charge, but as in China, the mob can suddenly decide something totally different, involving the right to bear arms, pitchforks and ignition sources.

A pleasant morning in Hawaii suddenly turned very noisy with a surprise Japanese attack. It was a lovely day over Hiroshima when the Enola Gay flew over, not looking like anything to worry about. One bright summer's day on 3 August 2011, in Peoria people were happily going about their business, unaware that elsewhere some supersonic high frequency trading computers with absurdly complex algorithms were pondering financial relativity theory and were nervously watching each other for untoward moves towards the exit.....

This guy is so silly = a mere aging drunk... fredoneverything.net we all know food comes from Safeway, with excellent quality control programmes.

Big Ben no doubt has the levers on his Quantitative Easing machinery well-oiled, tuned up and ready to go.
