The World's Economy What Do We Do

[tino]

What are your biggest concern's with whats happening with the world's economy? Is it effecting you? Do you see it getting better or worse ? What can be done to improve this situation ?This world event should concern everyone , it effect's every

aspect of our life and daily routine in some way . Should we ignore it and pretend it's not happening or try to look around us and see if we can be apart of the solution rather than stand idly by and hope someone else can do it ? I have placed some

hard-core questions here for some open discussion . I hope to see how many of you will take advantage of it and open up with your concerns. If you're seeing this via a web search or happen to stumble a pond it you can can also join in by just

The economy is a surreal item for me because I have no measureable control over it. The people that do are greedy bastards most the time anyway. I couldn't care less because it is the general selfishness of the people that led to problems and it is a political puppet show that is going to get us "out of it". Although the economy is only what we make of it, so actually we wouldn't need to get "out of it" if people weren't so damn ignorant and selfish.

Nice post Phuncz.

All I can say, In the '70-'80 (as example) we had ''less'', but it was pretty much ''more''. People where more close, concerned, equel, happy!

You know, a house, worth $300.000, if you have friends who know how to build a house they can build you the same 1 for like $20.000, and it's really not worth more.

Now we are addicted to ''more'', more and more which I realised even at the age of 11/12, which is basicly a desease.

But not sure how it will end, since I don't think we seen the worst, yet-- or even close. Before you can be normal again/healthy, lots of suffering.


What we see in London now, could be pretext.

And you can't do much really, just realise, ''that we are on the same boat'', in the end.

 Thanks guys , I'll hold back and see what some other can add before I put my two cents in.

Yes I agree. We are products from a mass-consumption society and we are spiraling into creatures that go to the extreme more and more. Was terrorism something we could have had before the 21st century ? It's a product of mass-media, taking on more and more extreme measures every time. The riots in London are also a nice example of that same urge to show the world how extreme you (we) can be, with mass looting as a selfish act and the consumption urge that feeds it.

In the end, we survive every mayor mentality change but did we ever grew because of it ? We still kill, destroy and drain everything on earth that is worth the trouble.

 The media only gives us so much and its hard to tell whats truth and whats not and the same apply s to the same information we get from governments. No one knows were this mess will end up we can only speculate. We are effected differently due to what we do to earn a living and where we live as individuals.
But one fact remains we can lay back and do nothing and accept the out come or we can attempt to make change one person at a time. What happen in the UK if the information is correct  started as a protest to the shooting of a man by police for reasons not made clear and followed up by opportunist who had no intentions other than to take advantage of the situation. What we have seen in other places in the world like Israel and other places were more about change. I think with time we will see more counties finally resort to more extreme  means in the fight to demand change in policy. As the economics change so will the mood of people. So how bad or good things get will be based on what moves world governments make.

And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.


In the ancient Jewish culture a debt would be forgiven after 7 years to my understanding.
If every nation would forgive each others debt & go back to a gold standard that may solve a lot of problems?

 I do believe we are living out the prophesies of the bible and the book of Revelations.  I agree k64 with what you mention about the gold standard.

Do you find it odd most of the world and the people of the US can see the problem but those who run this government are so blind , greedy , corrupt and cant find away to make it right?

I would not be a all surprised if Gabriel is holding his horn waiting for a signal to blow it.

All of us will be judged one day and be seated in the none smoking or smoking sections.

A quick fix for this nation would be bring criminal charges against the liberal democratic party & liberal media for treason - like that is ever going to happen.

We could at the very least vote on one item at time; that way no waste would go into a bill.

Topic: The World's Economy What Do We Do

This was all debated during the 2008 elections.  The better question is "What have we done ?"  Unfortunately and largely due to the egos and ambitions of a minority in our Governments, the answers are relatively little, very slowly and not implemented in the best manner.  I find it interesting that we're having to repeat these very conversations all over again.

 Seems nothing has changed sense the 2008 election and no one in Washington cares , Obama and congress both on vacation should pretty much show us where their concerns lay. But that's the norm these days  on both sides of the coin

In terms of progress, a number of things had changed. The US financial system was on the verge of collapse. What was left of the US auto industry was about to go under.  We had a tanking economy loosing 600,000+ jobs monthly. Those with "preexisting" conditions had an increasingly impossible time getting/keeping coverage.  Troop losses in Iraq were still quickly mounting, Bin'Laden was still a mystery in the shadows.  The list goes on.  

The problem has been, not nearly as much has changed, (especially when it comes to legislative changes,) as would have minus all the obstructionism that took place between Jan '09 and Dec '10.  Since voters have rewarded those doing the obstruction, this year, no important progress has been made.
