So there? You’re preaching to the choir dude, read my original post, never
once did I say that decoupling had taken place.
 
I defended that concept (that decoupling HADN’T taken place) to a bunch of
know-it-all bankers who tried to tell me that the “worldwide economy has
decoupled from the US.” Dream on! It’s amazing the wishful thinking and
misinformation, and the pure shit reporting in the business news.
 
FUCK OFF AND LEARN YOUR JOB! History has proven me right…the Chinese etc are
so coupled with the US economy that, as they say, when the US sneezes the
rest of the world catches a cold. As in the recession that a lot of the
western world is entering now. I believe I’ve mentioned this on the list
before.
 
HOWEVER, my original point is valid I believe…this coupling is slowly
diminishing over time, and that’s only a good thing, because a single weak
point in the world economy is bad for everyone. Especially when that weak
point is the waste of space Dubya Bush.
 
I also got shite from these bankers because I tried to tell them about the
fractional reserve system, how money actually works, and they said “oh that
stuff in that documentary (Money as Debt, which I’ve mentioned here before)
might be how the US works but it’s not how the rest of the world works.”
 
How delighted was I to find out that the Wiki entry on the Fractional
Reserve system uses as its example the ANZ National Bank, by sheer fluke,
the bank we were all working at. And the example is the financial return for
the period I was working there.

That’s what you get when you step up to the motherfucking Manifesto! A
hippie beat down.
 
Peace. (Conditions apply)

   I say put The Cayman Islands in charge of the World - and nobody will
ever know......

 

   And about that dollar slipping... if it slips too far and/or the U.S.
economy 

tanks too far, the whole world is screwed because the U.S. is such a huge 

player it influences the global economy. So there.

Some ppl in banking told me they had a sneaking suspicion that the Euro was
created for that very reason…to crush the $USD. (Sounds like something Jaz
would be cheering on ;)
 
I have no clue personally, suppose it’s working if that was the case. Having
said that, without the subprime mess (predatory lending / speculation /
housing bubble), and the Bush govt borrowing so massively for the war
effort, and the results of the war effort itself including oil going through
the roof, the USD might not have done too badly. 
 
And it begs the question, if a power-shift occurs, are we going to be any
better off?

Considering how the euro is crushing the dollar, drinking beer in Prague
would be a good idea! ; )
(Gorgeous, amazing city, BTW.) And the rest of the country's not too shabby
either!

Hi Bette : )

That's quite hard question for me, my knowledge about tourism converges to
zero...

As much as I can say, it's true that many things are very cheap in here,
perhaps except the center of Prague : )

It is really true that beer is cheaper than water! (approximately: 3 dl
water - almost 1 EURO, 3 dl beer - half EURO)

I remember my father (he used to run a small folklore pension in the South
Bohemia - in the western CZ) was talking about foreigners coming (Dutch and
British) to his pension for vacations.

South Bohemia has really awesome landscapes or, if you like good wine, let's
meet in the South Moravia (in the east-south of CZ - cities Znojmo, Lednice)
where there's a tradition of "wine cellar" tourism : )

That's all I can say to your question : ) Hope it was helpful a little bit.

Yours

Lenn : .

Hey, I wanted to know if this is true or not.  Yesterday, I was talking to a
British friend about vacations, and the lack of them here.  Well, except for
the ones who rule who are permanently on it.  Anyhoo, he spontaneously said
that CZ has become a "British tourist trap" and that many go there on
holiday for the cheap things, and yes, he mentioned beer (but he did not say
that it was cheaper than water.....lol).  Now, this man knows nothing about
KJ or that I like this band.  

 

Really, I thought this fondness was a Coleman eccentricity.  CZ is
beautiful, no doubt, and I would just love to see it because of Kafka
(inherent contradiction, I know, but be gentle with me.....lol), though I
had no idea it was becoming very friendly to tourism???  

 

So is this true, is CZ a tourist place for peeps on holiday or was he just
messing with me?  He looked sincerely pissed.....lol

Hell, I missed that when I was living there!

But I would never forget the amazing variety of pretty good sandwich
breads...

(I suppose the basic recipe comes from the UK ...??? Dunno.)

Never buy sandwich bread in CZ, it's all awful, bleh, ugh, fuj : /

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social
Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers
contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is unethical,
while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the spirit of
diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team
player.
