Sorry, but I am not interested in your lousy opinion.
Please take a job at the border and point out the terrorist, the EU will pay you a premium.
I am sorry. There are no terrorists at all. Those attacks that happened in Paris, Brussels, and the molestation of women that happened at a stadium in Germany, those arrests of refugees having terror links in Austria, Germany, all that is just hog wash. It didn't happen.
Please explain what Germany has to do with unemployment in Spain! I'm eager to hear your reasoning! Or what has staying in the EU to do with it?
Spanish GDP has fallen since the financial crisis. A weaker currency can make Spanish exports cheaper and increase employment. But since Spain is in the Euro Zone, they cannot devaluate their currency nor can they print money. ECB is in the clutches of Germany and France.
Probably Spain is so rich that lots of people don't have to work? Probably it is the first country in the EU ripe for General Basic Income? Who knows...
Currency devaluation would have meant that any hard currency loans would have been astronomically expensive
Well, then I would bargain for restructuring the loans, may be default on some or all. And use what ever I have got to help my economy recover. Default/debt-restructuring is not very uncommon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Frankly Greece should have been in the league of third world nations. But the Euro put them in the league of developed nations. How long is this going to work? Same goes for Spain, Portugal. How long can this last?
That's bullshit. This recovery has been one of the slowest and worst in US history, and ended up even worse than Obama's own predictions for "doing nothing". If we take Obama and his expert economists at their word, then we have to conclude that the bailouts and stimulus programs of his administration were extremely harmful.
And where do you think US would have been if the fed did not interfere and let the financial markets freeze?
No, it wouldn't. Currency devaluation would have meant that any hard currency loans would have been astronomically expensive.
Actually no one would have given them any loans in the first place. So they would have been in the rightful place that they deserved to have been.
And even if you believe the QE hocus pocus, even according to its own proponents, it wouldn't make any difference in a country with a Greek-style economy.
My point is, the idea of a Euro Zone does not make much sense. It's like taking Ethiopia, Mexico, US, Canada, Sudan, China and putting them under one common currency system, with free labor markets et al. But each still remains a different country politically and "economically" at the same time. It just will not work.
Yeah, but that exactly is EU for you!! They are all different countries trying to *masquerade* as one at the same time. Some of these countries are economically sound while others are shaky. The ones that are sound today can go shaky tomorrow, there is no guarantee. EU will not work unless it has one single elected government. One single central bank. One single... country I suppose.
Frankly, Euro is a gooberty gook. And the ECB has no clue and no powers. While some countries in the Euro zone can benefit and recover from a weak Euro, others need a strong Euro. So how does it help? A weakened GBP will help more exports. By the way its just markets reacting irrationally. My take is, GBP will be better off than Euro.
- They kept the *right to refuse entry* (not signed SENGEN)
Good, they can refuse the entry of terrorists that Germany and friends are welcoming with open arms.
Spain is in trouble with high unemployment (21%) with youth unemployment at a staggering 45%. And the longer it stays in the EU the longer it will have to suffer. A currency devaluation can help Spain too, just like it would help Greece. But Germany will not let that happen, because they are doing extremely good while Spain suffers. But why should Germany care?
Agreed, it was Greece that mismanaged its finances. But Germany did screw up Greece by imposing more and more austerity measures just when the country needed a boost from fiscal spending. Austerity does no good in the short term. Remember, when Lehman Brothers, Bear Sterns et al went down, if US govt prescribed austerity where do you think US economy and unemployment would have been? Instead, the Fed bailed out all and sundry. And that resulted in a quick recovery and a return to stability of the markets. In the long run, the country needs structural reforms and a return to fiscal discipline. But in the short run its fiscal spending that delivers a shot in the arm. So Germany didn't give Greece a shot in the arm when it was ailing. Also, Greece unfortunately is also in the currency block. And the ECB is... well no body understand how its supposed to function including the people running ECB. If Greece had its own currency, a currency devaluation, and may be a QE would have helped Greece. But the Euro is not in its control. And Germany does not want a devaluated Euro because they are doing good. I think its best in the long run that the the Euro is disbanded.
Who said M$ can last a decade with all that cash they have? All they need is acquisitions like this one to completely obliterate themselves in a jiffy. Looks like M$ will soon go the Yahoo way.
I hate there is no provision to downgrade Apps from the Google Play Store, but that is a separate issue.
My tablet just got screwed due to that. My Moto Xoom (which is only 4 years old) crashed the other day. So I restored it to factory and then started installing the only update there was (Android ICS) and all the apps that were on it. But I couldn't install all the apps because Play wants to install only the latest version of an app. And for many apps, the latest version is not compatible with my tablet. So I lost many apps. The xoom serves my purpose and so I would like to continue using it for another 4 years or so.
In Sunday's attacks the gun that was used was just a means to an end. The end was clear to the perpetrator. To terrorize and kill *infidels*, *to obey the order of god in order to secure a place in heaven*. The perpetrator would have used another means at another place may be, to realize his end. BTW, 3D printers can print guns as was already covered here on slashdot many times. In fact Defense Distributed designed a 3D printable gun that was similar to AR-15, that lasted nearly 650 rounds. So gun control will only take us so far.
I think its uneven development of the world and distribution of wealth. What ever be the reasons for it, but that is driving people insane and allowing them to become scapegoats at the hands of religious leaders.
Track 1. I am in love with this person Track 2. I am conveying my love for this person Track 3. We are in love Track 4. You are hurting me Track 5. I am breaking-up with you Track 6. I have moved on
Even non-Abrahamic religions believe in a grand design or something like that.
Not for most Buddhist's and Hindu's. Jains are agnostic and so are some schools of Buddhism and some now extinct schools of Hinduism. In fact a major school of Hindu Philosophy believes that the whole universe is unreal (Maya). Therefore, yes, Musk could be a religious fellow.
I second you man! I did fight with my IT department too for the exact same reason. Vertical real estate does matter for coding. 16:9/16:10 are brain damage.
It's not at all about paying lower wages. With automation, Adidas will be able to customize their offerings to suite individual tastes and sizes. They can make tailor made shoes in a jiffy. They can set-up a small production center locally and replicate it anywhere across the globe without loosing consistency. It's about decentralization of manufacturing. That's what Adidas believes is the new paradigm in manufacturing. Instead of making shoes in one or two locations for the whole world and then shipping them across the globe, they plan to produce locally, perhaps in a location nearby to where you live. That way they will be able to custom make a pair of shoes for you or perhaps to match the tastes of people in your locality, and deliver in a day to your door-step. All these advantages are lost or 'difficult to achieve'/'very costly to achieve', by employing human labor.
I would love to know why Adidas can't afford to pay decent wages?
Speaking of decent wages and therefore avoiding automation, I think we shouldn't have had the industrial revolution in the first place.
That's why I use extensions like keepa, that show the price history of a product on amazon and also lets me set target price alerts. Its like stock trading.
You surely lived in India. There was not one instance when we went out for a long walk in Banguloru streets and didn't step into poo. It was dog poo, cow poo, human poo or some poo every time. And my Indian colleagues advised me to rub my flip-flops against the pavement to get it off. Pretty standard practice there. I wasn't annoyed, but its hilarious.
And surely the kind of corruption they have in their, makes this country feel like the most honest nation on the planet. You can buy your way out of/into anything. You killed someone? No problem. If you have money, you will be out of all trouble.
Has McGee been put away behind bars for a good part of his life? His irresponsible behavior of using a smart-phone while driving has caused so much pain and suffering to another family.
Recently I was in an incident that involved using smartphone while driving. One fellow who was busy looking into his smartphone while driving, apparently looking at driving directions, came and hit my vehicle which was static. Luckily no body was injured. Stupids with smartphones.
If that CEO's chair at Yahoo would have been empty, Yahoo would have been doing far better today. It wouldn't have burnt billions acquiring companies that failed. Yahoo would have had the same amount of business and the same general direction.
