Hyperduck Quack Quack Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Its a mess all right but its got nothing to do with capitalism.Japan is a socialist country the West is a socialist disaster as well had we had real capitalism then we would never have got in to quite such a mess. This is the end of Socialism and the start of an era of capitalism unless the Socialists totally destroy everything and we end up fighting each other. The socialist state and banking systems need each other to bribe us with more debt issued by the banksters at interest. It's very easy to write something like that but I doubt if even the writer really believes what they're saying. If they do they must be a bit simple.

shell Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 All around me there are charity events, people running the marathon 'for Japan', and I myself have donated money. But . . . if Japan has printed over 250 billion pounds (over 26 trillion yen) over just 3 days, are our donations a somewhat self deluding attempt to assuage our own feelings of helplessness? Will these paltry sums make any difference when Japan can just print away and repatriate its huge wealth? Also regarding our admiration of the Japanese people's practical stoicism and calm - aren't they the very qualities that allowed them to build a bunch of nuclear power stations over a fault line in the first place?!?!? And I am speaking as someone who has friends and family in Japan. Oh I know those characteristics so well. Gung ho and spirited, yet polite and concerned for the common good. But all the while ignoring the danger of nuclear power plants whose inevitable destruction would affect the whole world. Not very 'polite', really is it? To endanger the whole world. I wonder when people will realise this and become angry with the Japanese people, instead of feeling sorry for them. Meanwhile I am bitterly sad at the thought of various Japanese nieces and nephews who might end up with cancer in 20 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timm Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hyper efficiency by definition has no room for redundancy. Exactly! But I assume you are refering to the engineering term redundant = "back up / fail safe". And not the etymological root of the word redundant = "undone by wave" .
