Reply to: A repeat of 1929

[Stan.goodvibes]

I would forget about 1929.

As Greenspan said 'We are entering a new disturbing economic reality.'

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Oh FFS, property had bubbled to well past the point of reason and the sharemarket had lost all relation to the companies it was supposed to represent. A correction was and is always inevitable.

It doesn't mean the world is going to end. Commodity prices are dropping, property prices are coming back to a realistic and attainable level, the sharemarket will be more realistically priced and less speculative (for a while).

So on paper your house might be worth 'less' than it was yesterday - does that mean anything at all if its the house you live in?

Chances are your mortgage just got cheaper, petrol is getting cheaper etc. Its great news all round.

What a great time to be alive. The future is looking brighter every day.

Uk

the difference is that UK is a failed state with an economy based on thin air, which is evaporating by the day.
in 1929 there was still an empire

and another one!



I’ve been looking for a way out
Of this crazy situation now--
The world in crisis; seems like paradise
Was lost and won’t be found
And all of life is endangered
And on the verge of breaking down.

I wake up all fear and dread-locked
By all the things I cannot talk about.
We built our house of cards on ignorance,
A landfill of deceit. The walls are hollow
And we listen, worry what they will secrete.

Woe woe woe woe is we.

We all know they’ve got it fixed
In politico-economics.
We’re junking bonds; we’re dropping
Bombs we’ve made by guzzling gasoline.
Public confidence is shaken
Like the apple from the tree.

Namu Amida Butsu, gomen.
Forgive me for my trespasses.
I do my best to exist east of Eden,
West of garbagetown, over-accumulated
Karma. Armageddon, full meltdown.

Woe woe woe woe is me.

I’ve been looking for a way out
Of this crazy situation now--
Our world in crisis; seems like paradise
Was lost and won’t be found
And both our lives are endangered
And on the verge of breaking down.

Woe woe woe woe is we.

Then the garden gates swing wide,
And we enter paradise.
We are angels; we are good.
We open our wings; we’ve understood
How time and change are fine,
They’re the way. They’re the way

b,b,b,b,b baby, you just ain't seen nuthin' yet!

Hows about this one then pop-pickers ?

The lights went out
(the last fuse blew)

The clocks all stopped
(it can't be true)

The program's wrong
(what can we do?)

The printout's blocked
(it relied on you)

The turbine cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do?

Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind

We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We're standing still

The screen shut down
(there's no reply)
The lifts all fall
(a siren cries)
And the radar fades
(a pilot sighs)
As the countdowns stall
(the readout lies)

The turbines cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do?

Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind

We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We're standing still

The black box failed
(the codes got crossed)
And the jails decayed
(the keys got lost)
Everyone kissed
(we breathe exhaust)
In the new arcade
(of the holocaust)

The turbine cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do?

Plese remember to mention me
In tapes you might leave behind

We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We're standing still

Winston,

all fine thanks, Benes invoicing and fiance became Mr and Mrs Benes invoicing two weeks ago :-)

I hope one day, I am in a sufficient financial position to have the kind of worries you have...

Don't worry Milan - the demand for potatoes is forecast to rise. Just make sure you keep your Passat to move them around Europe.

Milan,

Your first statement precludes the second from ever happening!

What happened to house prices in 1929? The nation demands to know...

If Milan spent 7 quid on something, it must mean that it is incredibly good.

Obviously he won't share his knowledge here unless you give him a refund of his costs.
