Innocuous 15 minutes of statistics, followed by 'we need to get rid of benefits in the US' because if you don't work in China you starve and look how great they are
I only got to 18 minutes and then the commentary started whining too much
If anyone makes it to the end, let me know if the video answers the most important question of the day; how we move into a steady state economy as we reach the limit to the planets resources

@robh
I didn't make it to the end either. I didn't like the somewhat sensationalised style of the video although I agree that America has serious economic problems.
"how we move into a steady state economy as we reach the limit to the planets resources"
By reducing our levels of consumption and public sector expenditure. Hopefully we will come up with some new technological ideas to get around some of the resource exhaustion issues as well.

wow, it's just 54mins, I didn't like all of it myself, but there is some poignant stuff in there. It's not just America guys, we need to question
the whole friggin show here.
"how we move into a steady state economy as we reach the limit to the planets resources"
Do you have any suggestions robh?
" whining too much"
perhaps you'd like a walt disney version?

This will all end in tears.
We are not individually strong enough to stop the Tsunami.
The silver market and gold market need to be watched closely!
Recaptcha: aflame 2000 (maybe aflame 2012)

"it's just 54mins"
In my defence, I will offer the excuse that I had to choose between watching the video at that time or watching the finals of the World Cup. Come to think of it, the video might have been better; I'll watch it all later. Fair enough?
Seriously, I'd like to see something like this with more emphasis on the situation facing the UK. America has issues that will affect us but there doesn't seem to be much concern or analysis of the likely outcomes for the UK that I see.

novice pete,
Good post but you can't tell some people. I just hope that some on this site like the taste of egg.
Basic economics cannot be twisted,
Oh, by the way folks carry on ignoring me. Less protest. :)
"Hyperinflation food shortages." Acid rain from Corexit poured into the sea can't possibly get into the food chain..Nah!
Printing ulimited fiat dollars can't possibly lead to runaway inflation..Nah!
Recapcha- "time sandwich"

Didn't finish it myself. But, it's telling a story being seen and repeated in many countries across the globe.
People can report these problems all they want to. But we still have the same fundamental problem - that the financial industries are still controlling what happens with the money.
They have absorbed huge amounts of QE. And a lot of it is still being payed out in Bwanker bonuses. Short term nationalisation of all financial industies perhaps is a little drastic. But how else are we, the tax payer, going to make sure our hard earnt isn't syphoned away?

I reckon we should sit by our computers and read each others interpretations of newspaper articles for another 7 years... That'll help.

Yawn...
Another breathless American exercise that starts with a theory and then attempts to prove it, using a hash of selective clips served up with suggestions of hidden forces, conspiring to conceal the truth..
Result - a sensationalised piece that contains no reliable information..
16. alan said...
"Another breathless American exercise that starts with a theory..." - UT, you may be right. However, I think it has a ring of truth about it.
I also think I'll buy a few silver bars - "just in case". Churchill and Dunkirk come to mind....

Buy loads - then we will all benefit.

Well thanks all for commenting. I suppose it's a case of each to their own which is fair enough.

So this copmpany had to lay of thousands of workers because of a small increase in the minimum wage? Yeah, right!
05 May, 2009 - Chicken of the Sea International of San Diego on Monday announced plans to return tuna canning to the United States. The company will invest USD 20 million (EUR 15 million) in a 200,000-square-foot canning operation in Lyons, Ga.
The facility will create 200 jobs, with operations set to start in October. Employees will process frozen tuna loins into canned tuna for distribution throughout the United States.
"State and local officials in Lyons presented us with a tremendous opportunity that ensures our ability to compete in the marketplace for the long term," said Shue Wing Chan, Chicken of the Sea president. "The state of Georgia provided a business development package that makes for a smooth transition."
Chicken of the Sea parent company Thai Union International of San Diego ranked No. 4 on SeaFood Business' annual Top 25 North American seafood suppliers list with USD 820 million (EUR 611 million) in sales in 2008.
