Stacy Summary: What would you answer? (To put this into context, the Irish economy contracted by 7.6% last year, so that people feel it will get even worse is pretty gloomy). And to @Danny, @david and @Dork, why is it that majority of Fianna Fáil would think worst is over?

Thanks stacy and happy birthday max.
On the mercury problems at Taiji, you would think this would be a big story in Japan but I can only find this story in two newspapers and one of those is an english language paper. Its little wonder that most Japanese people dont know that dolphin meat is full of mercury, Its another Minamata disease type situation waiting to happen.
Its not that the Irish establishment think its going to improve soon either , But they have to spin the line of hope, If the masses see through this BS there will be anarchy (we’re a spirited lot). hic.
On Irish radio this morning a minister was trying to big up the fact that the RATE of jobless has improved..
I would like to see her try and sell this to some of my unemployed friends
If the situation wasn’t so hopeless it would be funny

US Crosses the Bernholz Line — Hyperinflation Early Warning Signal
http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2010/01/us-crosses-bernholz-line-hyperinflation.html
Economic historian Peter Bernholz has identified that inflation starts to take on hyperinflationary characteristics some time after the deficits of a country as a share of government expenditure rise above a third and stay there for several years.
According to Bernholz, the great hyperinflations of France, Germany, Poland, Brazil, and Bolivia all occurred after deficits reached that magic percentage or higher (In Bolivia, it reached 91%). The United States crossed over the Bernholz line last year.
[...]
Clearly, crossing the Bernholz Line does not mean that hyperinflation is immediately around the corner. It’s an early warning signal. What it does indicate is that a government is having trouble raising money outside of borrowing it. This results in tremendous supplies of new debt that the markets must absorb, pushing interest rates higher, and thus putting enormous pressure on a central bank to monetize the debt.
The specifics of how long after passing the Bernholz Line a hyperinflation kicks in varies greatly. But like a doctor, who detects in a patient the first signs of Alzheimer’s, the prognosis is not good.
oh. Happy birthday Max. and tnx..
Majority of Fianna Fail are living in cloud cuckoo land, plain and simple, I’ve always called this phenomeon t the Celtic Ostrich, they’ve created this illusion for themselves and their unwilling to embrace reality, they’ve brought the country to the brink of bankruptcy before, 1979, and they think thay they can bring the country back from the brink again, arrogance and ignorance they have it in bucketfuls, a large portion of the populace also wish for the illusion to continue, stupid I know but what can you do.

Yeah 61% of irish that WERE polled… think worst is yet to come… except they only polled two taxi drivers a stand up comedian and the owner of a health club!!!
No no no,they’ve got it all wrong. Ask Mike/Liverpool over this side of the Irish Sea, he’ll tell you straight.
The best is yet to come.
I suspect the most people answered from a personal point of view i.e. they know that things are going to get worse for them personally regardless of what happens in the economy. In fact, the Irish Gov softening up the populous for cut backs and higher taxes, like they are here in the UK, they will be very happy with all this disillusionment.
Why are they wrong?
I see this as good news.

The big media experts have been saying for months now that the big banksters are gonna do just fine. Thats what they’re talking about when it comes to the economy. The big media people aren’t talking about the average folks. The average folks many are and will loose their homes and jobs every week. Thats just too bad for them. They never got the bailouts and almost 0% interest for trillions from the fed. But then they just aren’t connected. Ivy league and all that.
@david
The Celtic Ostrich; I call it ‘shur it’ll be grand’ syndrome.
@stacy
Why is it that majority of Fianna Fáil would think worst is over?
Either its delusion or its bare-faced boulderdash lying. Fighting Irish me hole. No-one arrested. I’ve yet to hear the words ‘derivatives’, ‘liar loans’, or ‘criminal banking syndicates’ mentioned in Irish media or from Fianna Fáil. It’s never called a crime; its always inappropriate banking practice. The party line requires that they keep the illusion going.

In a way we’ve already taken over the Media here on the Internet. I was amazed to see how many people now know about the CO2 Hoax in comparison with half a year ago on the Dutch alternative media. What I also see is that we force items upon the MSM which are in the alternative media cause otherwise the know they are gonna lose even more subscribers, thy have to.
That’s why they want to shut the Internet down via a very restrictive new Internet system. They can’t dupe us any longer via their bought and payed for corrupt media system.

@stokyo jake – Mercury
A good link to a well written story is here:
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20090923f2.html
In summary, the marine mammals being killed for food have mercury in their bodies. This is logical because the marine mammals are eating fish that are high in mercury also. If the marine biologists look at the oceans around East Asia, there is considerable industrial run-off from China in the East China Sea. If you are interested, look at the satellite photos of the bay near Shanghai. You’ll see the effluent as a discoloration of the water.
Mercury concentrates in the brain and affects neurological function by depositing in and around the neurons. These mercury deposits are not well understood because studies in living humans of brain function are hard to carry out.

Wendy Carlos and color perception.
“In addition to being one of the most historically significant pioneers in electronic music, Wendy Carlos is fascinated with how people see and hear. I am, too. She has been conducting experiments on color perception for over 50 years. Wendy created a cool little red/green color lightbox and a series of pages that show how two monochrome images can create full-color images when combined. She explains the origins of her interests:
“Interestingly enough, most primates which evolved in Africa, Europe andAsia and environs posses a similar wide range as ours, while those which evolved later in “The New World” of the Americas usually have the narrower range of human color deficiency. The technical distinction is between: “trichromats (human and old-world primates)” and “dichromats
(new-world primates and the common human color deficiencies).” Anyway, I a lot of amusing devices way back in grade-school that allowed me to tinker with mixing various colors, both with paints (subtractive mixing of: magenta, yellow and cyan) and with colored lights (additive mixing of: red, green and blue). I read everything on color I could get my hands on, and with many years of more or less scientific experimentation, I thought I knew a bit about the subject. But I was wrong.” Andrea James.

PIIGS are finished. Ireland like in Iceland without the volcanoes.
Personnally I would prefer living in Greece if busted. At least you can live in a tent, sleep under an olivre tree and go to beach. .

@Marc A – If the PIGS are under that kind of situation, and you believe they will collapse; can you suggest what the collapse looks like and the implication on the USD?
Are you getting out of gold and commodities?
@California Doctor
Why would I get out of gold ? I had investment in Russia during the “wonderful” period of Boris Elstine. May he burn in hell. The Russia of the 90′s is a good example of the utility of gold bars.
In Russia if you had gold, not mining shares but the real physical stuff, saved your ass superbly. Same thing you must remark in Iceland or Venezuala las week.
Presently Ireland, Greece and the rest of the PIIGS members are are in the golden prison of the Euro.Spain has a good chance of politically exploding with almost 40% unemployment rate. Terrible deflation is coming in these countries.
I don’t know if they will stay in the Euro zone. Gold as such, during a period of rotten and overprinted paperis worh a lot.,
It’s because you CANNOT trust any form of paper. Let’s look at the paper presently. Can you trust Greek treasury bonds ? Latvian bonds ? Ukrainian bonds ? Irish bonds ? Japaneese bonds ? US treasury bonds ? Bonds denominated in gilts ? They are ALL terrible investments and store of value. Everything is becoming junk when it comes to paper.
As for commodities, people have to eat and heat themselves. And investments in this sector are rare with the financial crisis. Farms are rarer and rarer and arable land is decreasing. Short term maybe there will be some down pressure, but there is certainly NO BUBBLE here. They are a bargain specially with 6,3 billion people to feed.
http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/2010/0122.html
They ALL want to devalue their paper. Look what happened this week to the euro. A high US dollar is not what the FED wants. Guess what will be next ? Competitive devaluation wars like in the 20′s. It’s what we are seing but in slow motion.
@California Doctor.
Well my best answer is Iceland and Latvia multiplied by 1000.
@California Doctor
Here is more succinct answer to your question about China and Commodities. China is trying to bust the US carry trade specultators, that borrowed all that money to buy commodoties. It’s evident that it will have a short term effect like a year ago. The fundementals haven’t change about the paper although. It’s an intelligent move. As for the US dollar, there is nothing fundemental. The chineese like the west love to screw the commodity producers right and left. It’s not a coicidence that farming, mining and energy are dramatically underinvested. The game is fun on a short term basis. But the result is quite clear. Systematic underinvestment in commodities. Like I said. Look at the CRB chart. Do you see a bubble ? I don’t. In bonds and treasuries of any sort and any color ? Yes absolutely.
http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/dorsch/2010/0122.html
What will it be ? 0% treasury bonds ? Farm land ? An Oil tanker ? Gold ? or S & P 500 ? A house ?
That’s what so horribly frustrating and disgusting. My guts say, stay with commodoties, specially the ones you need for surviving. Energy, food and water and the hell with the rest

You can live in a tent in Ireland sleep under a oak tree and go to the beech but but but I would not recommend that lifestye in this climate
Fianna Fail Fiana Gael another example of what Max calls duocracy. One and the same jumping tp the demands of the ECB – since we joined the euro all we can do is tweak the edges of fiscal policy – wakey wakey lads little old ireland has no say in it’s destiny no matter who you vote for……….
@Dublin/ Good call! ..Let’s hear it for the Irish! If you want to cite a comparable financial-cycle, just look at Memphis, Tenn. One company, FedX, controls the entire labor market. Where the upwardly mobile have long since fled the city for overpriced gated communities, with their all-brick, (actually insulated) homes and Steppford-like community centers–a home for no one and a lifestyle of isolation…
Some remember a few years back when the Irish enjoyed the influx of American computer ‘outsourcing.’ This phase was not unlike the post-NAFTA controls we put on Mexico’s commercial-cycle. Ultimately you’ll have to follow Argentina–hide your middle-class assets, take the bloody IMF bail-out, and later, offer the Brits a well-publicized one-finger salute!
Doubtless, the PTB have new reason to fear the voices of the disgruntled masses. Imagine ‘we the people’ actully demanding an audited ‘graduated’-tax system, whereby the ultra-rich and especially the Royals would pay back what they stole and subsequently be dethroned.
For example, eventually COSTCO will out perform WalMart, and its goodbye to American supremacy / stock-values.
