But if you believe that the context of your statement is anywhere near present day's commercial and social reality on this planet, I must protect my own sanity and would have no choice as to nominate you Señor Arango,not as a moron but as a certifiable Lunatic.
Herr Blinker,
I see, you understand, so go ahead and send me the Lunatic certificate, I will frame it next to my worthless first ever investment in a penny stock. (I keep it as reminder not to be so foolish next time. It has worked, to the benefit of my financial health).
However, I must believe so, it is by these guidelines I conduct myself. I cannot be responsible for others who choose otherwise. I am not a fool either and I will protect me accordingly against the crooked ones.
As for the requested time frame, I admit we do not live in a perfect world, nor will we ever. However, in answering your question, all I can say, it is here in the US and it is now. Slowly it will be spreading to any country that agrees to embrace a system of free markets. That is without Mafiosi... (read Russia).
The Market is in essence dictating how business conducts itself, what products they bring to market and at what cost.
The enormous pool of cheap labor available in the third world countries is a near warranty that inflation, to a considerable extent, will be controlled. Another big contributor to control inflation is the apparent enormous surplus of oil. This will also keep costs down.
Efficiencies obtained by high technology primarily from the US also continues to allow multinational companies to do business more efficiently which translates into profits.
These advances are allowing those with the necessary skills to be ahead of their competition. If you are computer literate and skilled, you could work from anywhere in the world, as we speak, I know of people building such network.
No doubt that there are crooks, but for a large extent, people succeed in business by being hard working and honest, otherwise, sooner or later you will be caught and become ignored and irrelevant.... just look at the politicians.
The sorry spectacle of the Bozos is clear proof how disconnected they are from the real people of the US. Yes it is a sorry view, but a small price to pay to show the real value of a politician... exactly ZERO.
Revolution ? perhaps a religiously driven one (how surprising), from the Muslim world, yes I acknowledge that, that is perhaps the single largest risk we have today.
However, if I am mistaken, please correct me and enlighten me. (remember ? I am in a life long research for the "dark suckers"). I am keenly interested if the Euro-experiment have any chances of success, I have bet that it will not work, as the Europeans do not have the spirit of entrepreneurship of the Americans. Such spirit, is my assumption, is necessary to allow the European community to succeed in their unification project.
How is that going to work, when the respective governments and populations demand incredible benefits from those who produce? At present, such system seems to be yielding 10 % unemployment.
Will someone in Hamburg be willing to move to Sevilla for the available jobs ? Unless a clear shift in government benefits, unionized mentality, or both, take place. I can not imagine that Herr Schmidt will be moving his family, any time soon to Sevilla and work in Textiles de España, when the unemployment in Germany stagnates. You either work as a truly "United" entity, or it will simply be another flop acid trip by the bureaucrats employed in Brussels.
I am eager to hear your point of view. By all means I do want to learn.
There is a lot of disenchantment in Latin America, but not against a market system, rather against a system based on nepotism and corruption that has literally sucked away the economic life of these countries.
All this, greatly assisted and under the auspice of my favorite tyrant, the pointy heads from the Vatican. Who to this day, (and to my amazement), are more concerned with telling million of peasants not to use contraceptives or abortion, than with using their enormous resources to give education to these people, who continue to reproduce like mindless rabbits.
No doubt a typical Republican Family Value.... and equally idiotic.
However, the people are not stupid, yes they require lots of education and new skills, but as I said, they are not stupid, and they are hungry. Better, they no longer buy the bullshit from the Generalisimo that tells them to support him in armed battle against the established crook.
I hope you have noticed that there are less and less revoluciones, (more like ROBOLUCIONES), and more and more free market systems, slowly being implanted.
The hard reality is the task at hand is of enormous proportions, it is certainly not helped by the enormous corruption of the existing power holders, but the key is that the idiotic idea of Marxists revolutions has been discarded.... even peasants understand that a fair market system is the only way they can achieve a better standard of living.
The real evil and enemy are the Trolls from the Vatican, unless this ignorance and mentality of martyrdom is completely eradicated, and instead real education is established, then the task at hand will be harder. Once again, times are a changing and such process has begun.
And yes, I insists, a free market system will rule, but you will need common sense, honesty and decency, where value for value will be exchanged. I have never said that crooks will not exists, nor that it is a guaranteed success, but unless people accept and live by these standards of honest traders, then I may agree with you that we are going to hell in a hand held basket. Even then, today's technology will afford you an escape, but you have to be alert and ahead of the masses.
Just a few minutes ago, I heard the comment there is a very high probability that the Argentinean economy will be completely "dollarized" and if so, Mexico would be next, the people seem to agree that such option is a far better one than the existing one.
For one, it will impose a discipline never before available, no longer will the politician use the different "in between" periods of devaluation to fool the people and the businessman to invest in their crooked economy, since the dollar would be an easy ruling stick.
So there you have it that's my theory, and it is no space craft, I live by those rules everyday, that is why I am frustrated and tired of seeing the idiocy of the current affairs. In spite of that, I am willing to bet on the positive side, and I refuse to side with the gang of Y2K alarmists, their cousins the gold bugs, and above all, the modern day Inquisitors of the religious zombies.
Now, in using my learned abilities in the research done about the Dark Suckers... I suspect highly, that your feelings about the lack of common sense, honesty and decency, in the world we exists, is because your perceived idea that market makers are evil.
If for a minute or two, you consider that market makers are businessmen who provide liquidity and in exchange for such risk they earn the spread that they do, perhaps you would be willing to be less rigid in your assessment of risk of the "pending revolution".
Again, I do not pretend to paint a perfect world, I am sure that there are good and bad market makers and their objective is to make money. On the other hand, does it make sense to invest in a company that has no requirement to report to the SEC ?
I find such action far more outrageous, (and stupid), from the so called investor "wannabe". Hell, the SEC could save people (and themselves), a lot of aggravation by merely issuing a simple rule:
Those companies that do not report to the SEC in a timely fashion, they are not eligible to trade publicly. Simple.
Ah ! but we forget that lots of attorneys could not be employed by either the SEC themselves or by a battalion of morons that sooner or later they lose Grandma Maria Himmelfahrt retirement funds, (that will in time, become the moron's own inheritance).
Instead of accepting the now valueless certificates, with pride, as a symbolic golden medal of the newly acquired wisdom and education.... no he has to spend his/her last penny on a hopeless case against a professional crook, who is about ten steps ahead of the illustrious moron, and his valiant [paid] ally, provided that is, that just compensation is received by the rat... er the attorney. No doubt the esquire will disclose all risks in his/her eloquent display, of what truly is at stake and the chances of our hero retrieving Nana Himelfhart funds.... Who btw by this time she must be suffering of a Nervenzusammenbruch (wheuuu what a long word !! I hope I am right)
Hmm... fat chance I say. More probable is that our striped cape (a la Batman & Robin), Supreme Judge will get to say anything relevant in the lynch... er Congressional trial of the most deceitful presidente of the USA... indeed, this Presidente may have a few lessons to teach to the ones south of the border...
So he says, who cares if I ever hold public office in this here ole USA... I can go to Latin America and give seminars to thousand of hopefuls Clinton wannabe, in the art of Presidential knee pads, at five thousand greenies per diem, per head. Free market at its best.
However, as I said, I am listening to what you have to say, I am willing to consider what your theory is.
As for being nominated a moron... big deal, I already have two of those medals, plus a couple of illustrious suspensions, by our powerful [real] gods, Wonderwoman JillJail and SuperMacho FortBob.
Finally, given the fact that this is no Ritz.... well I will accept a glass of the milk from the love woman, bier would also be good, but that bloats me. As for the Schnapps, it could make me hallucinate, besides, the milk will give sucker fantasies that the love woman is indeed healthy and greatly endowed... nicht wahr ? |
