Re: Financial topics

I think that is a fair assesment. Water, wheat, then weather since these affairs as we call them started quicker than I considered. It hinges on Egypt also and I will consider the position noted still valid so far on what we seen to date. We're seeing breakdown in more places than I can count now. ...

Re: Financial topics

The way I see the dark age process, it is initiated by the internal actions of the hegemon (the US in this case) but the symptoms first show up mostly in the periphery. The Middle East (Syria), Africa (Mali), and the edges of Europe (Greece), Russia (Siberia) and the US (Detroit) have been slowly br...

Re: Financial topics

If the central government falls and the states survive (sort of like USSR falling) then they might recover rather fast really. If the states survive I agree that it won't be so bad in some places, especially the ones that aren't heavily urbanized and have energy sources. Once the giant sucking soun...

Re: Financial topics

With regard to automation, I think it only works if the displaced worker can be put into an equivalent or better job. Since the worker is not already in a better job, chances are that's not a possibility, so then the question becomes whether the displaced worker can be put into an equivalent job. If...

Re: Financial topics

As you noted the rate of cycle decay, and how far it may actually be. Going back further than the dates I originally posted, the first significant high after the 2009 bottom was June 11, 2009. That's 690 days from May 2, 2011. Using that, the series runs 690, 336, 165, 80, 39 with the corresponding...

Re: Financial topics

About 25 years ago I took an evening course in programmable logic controllers at a local technical college. The instructor was an engineer at Gilman Engineering in Janesville, WI. He took us to their facility to show us the robot they had just finished building. The robot was able to take all the pa...
