  1. Market failure. Pure and simple. Capital allocation has been dysfuncitonal ever since the Fed discovered the easy way to run capitalism (by bailing out failed capitalists every time).

  2. He s a bankers' boy through and through, costing the french state tens of billions while he was the economy and industry minister and IS still gifting billions to them as the president.

  3. Lol. The end. Uniform headline in the media. Totally misleading. The End of the most stringent austerity program from 3 years ago. Greece still is 25 percent of pre-bailout size. Still owes 260 billions it can never repay. Still has no sovereignty over its own affairs. Greece by playing along saved the euro. But for what benefits? To be a perpetual indentured slave to the euro project. its reward? Charity and the whip in equal measure when its existence is noticed from time to time by the centre. It s no way to live...it s condemned to charity dependency for endless generations. This does insidious things to a country's politics, sociology and character. It ll be the welfare queen and charity jocky in the league of nations.

  4. Peaceful resolution of University siege. Still no bloodshed. After 6 months and pretty extreme provocation. Unlike in Chile, iraq, Iran, Bolivia, France. In fact fewer arrests than 10 days of climate protests in London. Very light sentences, unlike for example in Spain. Now isnt this embarrassing? Not sure for whom though.

  5. All words. Typical of EU. Little would Change on the ground

  6. So true. If they are so easily duped, they deserve every bit of it.

  7. Lol. Look up psychological projection. How about some facts u poor brain washed fools? Country  PrisonPopulation per 100,000 US   2,193,798.   737 CHINA   1,548,498.   118 RUSSIA   874161.   615 BRAZIL   371482.   193 1949: US population=150mil, Life Exp=mid 60s. China population=450 mil, Life Exp=mid 30s Now: China pop=1400 mil, Life Exp=mid 70s, with longer healthy life span than US (WHO report). Infant mortatliy dropped from 240/1000 to 8/1000 in the Same period.  Literacy rate also now almost 100% from 20% in 1949. Which non-western shitholes do not mass produce refugees/asylum seekers/desperate migrants that flood the West? Chicom's China. Instead they send annoying but high spending tourists (100 mil+ per year), students and investors with money.  Chicom s doing a great job compared to all these 'free' shitholes that screw the West every which way twice.

  8. No one cares about facts. Cliches and slogans are much more effective...for propaganda and brain washing. HK gdp per capita: 1997: 23k, 2018: 49k. Pre-1997: no rights to protest (till 1990, after the agreement with Chicom and after 1989, curiously). Governor by direct appointment from the UK. Top positions must be british. All Senior judges British. Post-1997: entirely locally governed. Has rights to protest and stand for all offices. All senior judges , still all British. "Hong Kong is the world's freest economy for the 25th consecutive year under the 2019 Index of Economic Freedom. The Index measures 12 quantitative and qualitative factors under four key aspects of the economic environment, namely Rule of Law, Government Size, Regulatory Efficiency and Market openness".  31 Jan 2019

  9. Who s got the higher pain tolerance? And who s got the better attention span? The problem with Trump is that he moves on too quickly and takes on too much. Dance like a butterfly sting like a bee? Or Dance like Mike Tyson and punch like Amy winehouse?

  10. The sure sign of a brain washed imbecile is when political cliches trip off the tongue but common decency and basic humanity remain alien and irrelevant concepts.

  12. What business is yours? 10s of millions of syrians support Assad. Do they not have more say than you?

  13. I dont know why May bothers. She s the only adult in the house, and judging by comments on the Internet, the only one in the country. This Country IS doomed, not because of brexit or remain, but because of the quality of public debate and the MPs it elects.

  14. Surely birth control is needed somehow. Tax breaks/aids for the poor who volunteers for sterlization?

  15. Same way that the mujahadeens were encourged and supported to develop and execute their cult of violence/destruction against humanity in Afghanistan, very successfully. Way to go hongkong. ;)

  16. There is a clear difference in trade literacy between the two sides.

  17. Cause they practice the worst form of value-free unregulated primative kind of capitalism. No one in honkong ist creating anything. it s all based on rent-seeking transactions.

  18. Ludicrously deluded. Chicom is a 100-year old Institution with 90 million members; it has outmanouvered, against all the odds, repeatedly against larger stronger foes, including all the superpowers in the world..has been running 1/5 of the world's population for 70 years, with evident success (value judgement aside) and no sign of wear and tear....the idea that loud mouthed no-ball no-brain no-experience yellow retards, many sitting very very far away, can challenge much less threaten it in any way is simply bizarre.

  19. Another charlatan who can't make money with a gun to his head predicting the past with perfect hindsight. Lol

  20. That s just pure projection. Brexit means not being an EU member thus not being tied to a rudderless sinking ship. Tis unfortunate that the UK cannot pull togther and instead prefer infighting and backstabbing during this crucial period. Everyone s to blame for that. But longer term the UK has just done itself a huge favour. No one apart from the UK played by EU rules in the EU anyway. Corruption is rampant. Without the UK, EU would sink even faster. Just watch. We can revisit in 10 years' time.

  25. Lol. Riding coattails is never a strategy, east or west. India has been a good friend of everyone. There s been no Trade or Tech embargo. U r barking up the wrong tree.

  27. That s where everyone starts. Innovation by definition is a discontinuous process. U can't jump from 0 to new heights. U have to climb up first. They ll creep up on u. Having said that, looking at develped Asia, there IS definitely an innovation deficit. Question is if the Chinese can change that when they r developed.

  34.  @jennygore9833  : isnt that what she s been doing? What r u offering? No Deal brexit? That s not what the country voted for. I voted to leave. Frankly now i think the brexiteers deserve no brexit. The most likely outcome IS now indefinite postponment. Lol. The irony. Ps. The DUP and the backbenchers...wow. never seen a bunch of thickos like these.

  35. If it doesnt Lower costs, it means Jackshit. Corporate owned America IS already spending close to 20% of GDP on HC. Companies have always been able to increase HC costs for America while claiming that their offerings lower costs. That game is fast approaching a natural ceiling.

  36. Which? China? Lol

  37.  @shway1  : interesting point. I often wonder why we r so suspicious of elected tax funded publically accountable institutions, but give a free pass and fawn after unaccountable individuals with enormous power over every aspect of our lives. Are we just deluded fools? It s OK if competition works but now Big corporations and Big capital are so all powerful that they are able to extract and protect any economic rent they fancy.

  38. Italy had always been a vital trade route between east and west. Had built its wealth that Way, until the discovery of the americas and the shift in world trade pattern towards the Atlantic. Are we witnessing the return to historical norm?

  39.  @charlesfan8942  : you r not making any sense. How does what u r saying (assuming it is true) affect in any way the data?
    2
  40. It s quite interesting to see people's reaction when confronted with hard facts and how they seek to preserve their precious beliefs. Funny how much effort is put into something that DOESNT matter at all. One's precious beliefs do not affect facts, past, present and future. They carry on regardless. Grow up.

  41.  @joakimkang  prisoner numbers and persioner per 100k of population. One is an absolute number. The other is proportional to population. It s stunning how China the great evil empire is beaten so badly by the Land of the Free in absolute prisoner numbers, considering that china's population is 4x bigger. Boring facts vs Propaganda. Propaganda wins every time. Lol.

  63. John Authers : lol. Dont take it so personally. My problem is with the cancerous 'outgrowths' of the financial industry. Not you personally. U r paid to be in the public eye and taking some non-personal 'personal' insults is part of the job. I prefer to stay private and make money the quiet way. I dont envy you. Honestly it s not personal. U r just a symbolic target. I apologize for having offdended you.

  68.  @davidmarjason8850  1400 Million=1.4 bln. Anyway, that cannot be the only problem you have. Your query didnt explain exactly what u didnt understand. I dont see how 1 bln or 1.4 bln changes anything.

  70.  @aytw661  : maybe your opinion of 'basic rights' and 'concentration camp' differs from theirs. I suggest looking them up. It s worth seeing what 'concentration camp' usually does and what it did in the past. Also look up UN Human Development Index to get a sense of basic rights. I m simply listing facts and data. People can opine and accuse as much as they want of course. Is that worth more than facts? Is that more important than facts? I guess it s a matter of opinion.

Little difference from rioting Red Guards of Mao, despite differences in time, place, apparent political colour, and background. And eventually these guys would become fake asylum seekers and loud mouthed social leeches in europe...what a nice self Selection Problem europe faces.

  82. Meanwhile Investment in the real world (capx and capital formation) has kept stagnating for years. The divorce between the real economy and the financial Market IS becoming more and more complete. Thanks to the QE and neolibral doctrine.

  83. Well, they foresaw what was coming more than a decade ahead of everyone else. Chicom is exceptionally good at their job, whether one likes it or not. Mocking, harranging, screaming slogans at them, pointing and laughing, and chanting Taiwan number 1 and long live democracy...wouldnt do it. be better than them at formulating and implementing strategy and tactics. That's the only way.
