Inflating new bubbles

Unfortunately nothing was learned. As you may have registered the stock markets are going up. Well the suprise is not that large. There is so much funny mulitcolored paper available. Once it was known as curreny but it’s does not have any worth. So Gold is up over 80% in two years. And the stock have gained nearly as much. Currently you can even use this funny paper too buy houses for quite less of it. That bubble has burst around 2 years or so ago. Now the next bubble is raising, maybe it’s time to get rid of as much of this colorul paper as possible and take something no-one can raise artificially (at least not to a large extent). I propose investing in land. See that it’s fertile. The day will come where you’ll have to pay too much colorful paper to get full.

How it will come to that day. Well the argument of the deledefs and bureaucrats will be: „We had no choice…“

How much worth is your Euro?

Well in Germany we have one answer since yesterday. Ten years ago shares of ENBW were sold to the french government owned EBNF. That has cost them around 2.4 Billion Euro. Now the land Baden-Württemberg has bought back the shares. (nice side-note, the will publish a bond for that, and even nicer, it does not cost us tax payers anything) , the price. around 5 Billion. That is a raise of around 7% a year.. Now we know how stable our EUR is. Because it has not cost us anything we just need 7% raise of income every year to not loose anything. I’m just puzzling how many Germans were able to raise their wages from let’s say 3000 EUR to 6000 EUR….
Let us assume some really did manage it. Now at or around 36 000 EUR income a year one has to pay roughly 8000 EUR. For 72000 EUR roughly around: 23.281,74 Euro

Yes you might not know we have a just progressive income tax. So let’s be a little bit lazy. For having 36 000 income we need around 44 000 EUR a year for having 72000 we need at least 95 000 EUR. Anyway if you earn more than a littlle over 50000 EUR /year. you pay the highest possible tax. That are 42% + 5% (extra money for the German bailout of the GDR (now more than 20 years ago)) . However if you earn > 2700 netto month you are above average in Germany. So we’d be above average with the first number and you really have to search for those earning more > 95 000 EUR. But you know the Euro is stable. And we Germans are „richer“ than ever….

So the question is who was able to get 51 000 EUR more income a year, and have earned 44 000 EUR ten years ago. For those of you, I have good news. The EUR was stable for you. All others, please let your member of parliament know that you have become poorer.

Gestern war einiges los

Was für eine Überraschung. Nun muss im ZDF „gequatscht“ werden. Nun ja es ist den Leuten ja nicht zuzumuten
a) für sich selber zu entscheiden, was Sie sich zutrauen (auch auf die Gefahr hin sich zu überschätzen)
b) den Zuschauern ob sie gewisse Sendungen schauen oder nicht.

Ich habe seit mehr als 10 Jahren nicht mehr diese Sendung gesehen, weil Sie mir einfach auf den Wecker geht. Ehemals waren die Wetten der Mittelpunkt heute sind es alle möglichen Leute die diese Sendung als Werbemedium „gebrauchen“. Brauch‘ ich nicht. So leid‘ es mir für den Kandidaten tut, niemand verlangt von ihm sich in Gefahr zu begeben.

Ein weiteres „nettes“ Ding BW kauf Anteile an EnBW zurück. Selbverständlich kostet uns das nichts, dafür wird eine Anleihe aufgelegt. Es ist durchaus möglich, dass ein späterer Börsengang „laufen“ wird. Ich befürchte aber folgendes. Die Anleihe wird aufgelegt (das sind ca 5 Mrd, Laufzeit wahrscheinlich irgendwo zwischen 10-15 Jahre, Zinssatz wahrscheinlich zwischen 4-6 %). Nun ja dann werden die Anteile an die Börse gebracht und dann werden die Gewinne wahrscheinlich verplant, natürlich ohne Berücksichtigung der Rückzahlung. Aber keine Angst liebe Steuerzahler, Ihr werdet die Politiker bewundern dürfen wo Sie die Milliarden vielleicht sogar einfach vergraben (S 21 lässt grüßen). Schließlich muß ja „nachgebessert“ werden.

Interessant auch vor 10 Jahren wurden die Anteile verkauft, für damals 2.4 Mrd. Somit haben wir in 10 Jahren eine Verdoppelung des Preises (das sind runde 7% Steigerung im Jahr), aber auch hier gilt. Keine Angst die Euros sind sicher. Wer von Ihnen hat in den letzten 10 Jahren eine Einkommenssteigerung von 7% jährlich mitgemacht (das Geld muß aber bei Ihnen angekommen sein und nicht per Steuer „abgeschöpft“). Soviel zu der netten „Wahrheit“ der Euro ist sicher…..

Und wieder zwei Geschichten aus dem Leben der „Dt. Delebets“. Mit Sicherheit gilt: „Fortsetzung folgt“….

Our minister of finance

He’s really a babe.

Just imagine, we Germans have not lost anything because of the Euro, we are „even“ richer than ever before. Very well, he’s right to some extend. We have
more nice and colorful banknote. We need them dearly because if you go just for buying a few edibles. Oh, yes we are a unthankful rat pack. We did not wanted the Euro as it was introduces (at leat most did not want it) but now we are just unfair….

Oh, yes you can’t beat delebets on betraying. They alway have the upper hand. Fair enough, a normal citizen goes to jail while defrauding, a politician gets promoted.

That’s the delebets land of plenty. Plenty of citizens to abuse, plenty of money to make nice and cuddly fire places. There is nothing like the smell of burning money, there’s just one thing more satisfying for that kind of people, the smell of burning flesh….

Of you think I’m angry, or even sarcastic. Well you can bet I am.

I think I got it

well you can call me arrogant but I think I found the biggest political mistakes (well I’d name them criminal offenses) which have lead to our current misery
1) fractional reserve system. I think there can be no discussion about it. if you have fractions you have leverage and leverage can work in both direction. However see the problem:
You have 100 CU (currency units), as a private person you can lend maximally 100 CU. Not in a fractional system. you can lend by fractional reserve of 10% roughly 1000 CU. Now let us assume you get the money for 1% (this is currently realistic) than in one year you have to pay back 101 CU to the central bank. Well if all went well you can expect at least 3-5 % for the lending of the 1000 EUR so if all would go well roughly 1050 EUR. Now let’s calculate 50/100 = 0.5 Now tell something about getting rich quick. But this is not the end. What will happen if 20% of the money will not get paid back? you the will get back around 840 EUR and 160 EUR are missing. But now we come to the second sin
2) subsidies you can read it also as any hindrance to free trade and bearing what was caused by yourself. Let’s proceed with the situation above. We lacking at least 161 CU. Well we do not have the money but know the subsidies come into play (you can see the results in reality for bonds of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and yet a few others). Now the „genius“ strikes back. You are bankrup but now the governments jump in an guarantee the other debts. Result you get the 50% gain, risk free.

I leave it to your imagination what will result.

Well why does it happen. Now just see who really are the worst debtors. They are the governments. And so we have an alliance against those acting within their bounds. Banks want to lend money the more the better, governments want to have money in extreme Amounts, and how brings the government bonds to market? Banks. So governments to not act for the public but their own survival and growth. Their own survival just can be guaranteed in a parasitic way, if they overdraw the host will die. This is bad for any parasit, some of them are „stuid“ enough to risk it. But bureaucrats an politicians have one „gurantee“ of survival if there are any men left. They can find a way to seize the properties of them. You can see it here in Germany, after the world wars, money was worthless, but still something of value was left, and so they taxed this. You see government is not the solver it’s the „base problem“. The only thing which can help us is being as unfriendly as host as possible. That means, if the dedebets want more power, resist in any way.

Wikileaks again

I’m quite delighted about the newest publishings, it shows, in what the US believes and what they strive for. Beeing the „super power“, and every other should be kept down. It seems that the US fortunately have quite a few dissatisfied workers. What’s interesting is the reaction of the traditional press. They write, it’s not something did not no before. Well may be but imagine this stuff would have been offered to some traditional news papers. What reaction would we have had then?

Now I’m really curious about the publishing of papers of some bank. Guess if you can see how they have betrayed their customers. It would be a pleasure to see them standing naked.

Ah well I’m quite „satisfied“ that Wikileaks exists.

Schlichtung S21

Das Ergebnis überrascht mich nicht, wohl aber die „Nachforderungen“. Wenn heute schon zig Millionen für die Planung ausgegeben wurden. Wie kann es sein, daß teure Nachforderungen gestellt werden? Ich frage mich dann schon was haben eigentlich alle Spezialisten gemacht? Eine so elementare Frage wie „reicht die Kapazität“ muß man mit, „müssen wir noch mal testen beantworten“.

Somit ist heute schon klar Stuttgart 21 wird „noch“ teurer. Der Deckel von 4.5 Milliarden reicht nicht.

Wenn schon elementare Dinge nachgebessert werden müssen, wie sieht es dann wohl mit den Erlebnissen der Zugreisenden aus.

Newest EU attack on your purse

Just imagine all EU countries have collected more debts than ever in history. Greece has manipulated data to be part of this system. And what did we do we sanctioned their doing. Now imagine, I’m stealing your money, we go to court and you have to learn. Well yes I had all the rights to betray you. What would you think about such kind of system?

Now the Irish want to get another 85 Billion from us. It was one of the soundest systems before the governement decided to „fail“ out their banks, I can not see who has put some pistol on their chest saying. „you must keep your banks afloat“. Well you know the argument „there was/is/willnever be a choice. That simply is a lie.

The money for Greece was illegal, there were (and btw. still are laws) which forbid this kind of „credits“. So the choice with Greek was. „Doing nothing“. The choice for the Irish government was „doing nothing“. And in both cases this would have been the better choice. It surely would have signaled to everyone. „you can earn as much money as you like, but you can loose as much as easily“. Now the signal is to every bank or corporation. „Grow as large as possible don’t put any considerations ons sustainability. If it comes bad, you can held a whole country as hostage.“.

What do you think would stop the death-spriral?

Wetter / Klima

Ich gebe es zu, auch ich machte mich lustig über die Aussagen das die Erderwärmung auch in gewissen Gebieten eine Abkühlung beinhalten könnte. Da sollte ich etwas vorsichtiger sein. Sie könne es ja auch selber einfach nachvollziehen. Nehmen sie irgendein Getränk und werfen sie Eiswürfel herein. Was passiert mit Ihrer Flüssigkeit? Genau die wird kälter während das Eis schmilzt. Nun über Ihrem Glass wird sich wie auch auf dem Meer ein Hochdruckgebiet entwickeln. Wie kommt es dazu, nun die Luft über Ihrem Glass wird abgekühlt und daher sinkt sie nach unten. Da es jetzt in der Höhe ein „Vakuum“ gibt wird dieses natürlich aufgefüllt. Und so erhält man ein Hochdruck. Es sieht so aus als ob das gerade passiert: Hochdrucklage. Hochdruck im Winter heißt nun mal, fies kalt aber trocken.

Aber nun wird es interessant: Wo wird es kälter? Offensichtlich haben wir hier in Europa in diesem Fall den kälteren Teil vor uns. Nur was passiert denn wenn es kalt wird? Es dürfte Schnee geben und wo es Schnee gibt wird natürlich mehr Sonnenlicht reklektiert. Somit ist die Frage wenn ganz Europa unter eine Schneedecke gerät was passiert dann insgesamt mit dem Klima. Es gab mal unter den Wissenschaftlern die Ansicht ein einmal vereister Planet taut nie wieder auf, nun dies Ansicht war falsch. Unsere Erde war schon mal nicht mehr als ein Eisball, taute aber wieder auf.

Aber Schnee auf dem Land heisst auch wieder Abkühlung und somit muß auch hier die Lücke wieder aufgeüllt werden, die Luft könnte auch von dem Hoch über dem Atlantik kommen.

Man sieht wir haben negative und positive Rückkoppelungen. Nur leider haben wir keine Ahnung wie diese sich wirklich auswirken. Ohne eine Verständnis dieser Mechanismen muß man aber allen langfristigen Aussagen bzgl. des Klimas skeptisch gegenüber stehen. Die Frage bleibt m.E. offen, wird es insgesamt wärmer oder kälter….

And here we go again

Not it’s Ireland. Who’s next?

The Fiat-money system strikes back again. So let’s burn some more money. It must help, someday if it does not yet, than the conclusion just can be: „We have not burned enough money“. Well first they burn books, then money, then people….

We just can hope that we burn the right people this time. If not well we have not tried hard enough let’s burn some more people. So let’s to got war….

After there are quite many killed, well maybe peace is not such a bad idea. Unfortunatly we have nothing to bear the costs of the bureaucrats. So let’s see who has survived and something of value left. Let’s them bleed through taxes, let’s give them some other colorful paper, and place the rest of armed forces in front of their houses to assure that governement will work. Then let’s take a few credits, let’s start burning money again….

Politikerzeitrechnung

Also schauen wir mal: Irland hat ca Mitte der letzten Woche behauptet noch bis Mitte 2011 durchzuhalten (auch ohne Geld aus der EU). Heute haben wir Montag, es sind also gerade 5 Tage vergangen. Mitte 2011 kann ich noch nicht sehen bis dahin wären es ca
7 Monate rechnen wir mal pauschal (bänkisch mit 360 Tagen im Jahr, also 30 Tage im Monat. Es wären also 210 Tage gewesen. Jetzt bilden wir den Quotienten. 5/210 = 0.023.
Landtagswahlen gibt es alle 4 echte Jahre. Was somit einer gefühlten Politikerzeit von
4 / 0.023 = 174 Jahre. Da darf man sich natürlich nicht wundern das „Geschwätz“ von Gestern für Politiker runde 1 / 0.023 ca 43 Tage zurückliegt. Ich denke Sie stimmen mit mir überein, daß man in 43 Tagen durchaus seine Meinung ändern kann. Somit bekommen die Aussagen der Politiker einen „Sinn“. Man muß sich nur auf die richtig Zeitschiene begeben und schon ist alles in „Butter“

Nächste Milliardenspielwiese

nun nachdem wir noch mal für die Iren bezahlen dürfen (was kommt danach) und damit es uns nicht langweilig wird und damit wir nicht auf den verwegenen Gedanken kommen unser Geld für uns zu behalten, versuchen sich die „Politiker“ dieser Welt darauf zu verständigen einen Raketenschirm zu bauen. Den Amis war es erst mal zu teuer, den Russen kam es auch nicht recht aber wo eine Delebet da eine Lösung. Gemeinsam gegen die Bevölkerung schweißt Sie alle zusammen. Brave new world….

tripeldoppeltungut

An old posting still actual

But about something completely different. I’m doing quite some Web programming. And have looked into quite a few web development frameworks. There was this question out:

„But Why? Lisp is good. Lisp excels at Domain Specific Languages. Lisp has the REPL for goodness sake. It can’t just be that there are many Lisp dialects / implementations and that it’s a bit hard to get, say, a socket library that works on all of them… can it? I mean, the MediaWiki runs on PHP (I think) and everything I’ve seen or heard about PHP is „…ick…“. So why does the MediaWiki have all the loving goodness and we have the CLiki? (This isn’t to diss the CLiki by the way, it’s cool; I like it but as wikis go there isn’t much there and nothing much has happened to it for ages.)“

his blog is out of order since 4 years. Still there are quite some points about this question:

My take on an answer was:

Lisp and Web Development

why not why?
Friedrich Dominicus response
An essay about why

Gary King write in his blog

Lisp just isn’t there yet when it comes to building web applications quickly and easily unless you want to make it half your own private research project.

But Why? Lisp is good. Lisp excels at Domain Specific Languages. Lisp has the REPL for goodness sake. It can’t just be that there are many Lisp dialects / implementations and that it’s a bit hard to get, say, a socket library that works on all of them… can it? I mean, the MediaWiki runs on PHP (I think) and everything I’ve seen or heard about PHP is „…ick…“. So why does the MediaWiki have all the loving goodness and we have the CLiki? (This isn’t to diss the CLiki by the way, it’s cool; I like it but as wikis go there isn’t much there and nothing much has happened to it for ages.)

So bloggers on Planet Lisp, start your engines please… I’d like several essays from people who know the skinny on web dev and Lisp. Is Joel wrong? Is there a missing secret ingredient? what does Lisp need to come from behind in the web application development language race? After all, Ruby was a dark horse until Rails came along. The best essay gets a prize (to be announced later once I think of something).

Here’s my take on it. I feel I am qualified enough to comment on it. IMHO it boils down to „Simplicity matters“.
What are you talking about

Now even if I get flamed on it. The most Lisp libraries I know of are „application-developer“ unfriendly. Without doubt very clever people have written very clever software in Common Lisp, but they either wrote it for some other very clever people or people willing to spend at least half a year to get into it.

In every other language I know libraries are written to be used by others. They are probably not as elegant and clumsy but one can understand them.

It’s not a problem for me to sit down get the next C library and use it. There may be some problems, but after at least a month of work one got it. Most of the time it’s much easier. Examples for C libraries one simply can use:

*

glib (the naming conventions are strict and it does not take much to simply write down a program)
*

libaprs only trouble spot is getting used too pools. That’s however you learn very fast and you’ll appreciate it.

I could go on with other libraries, hell one even can get the MSDN stuff and apply a lot of it. And this API is not that strict but at least quite strict in it.
The Lisp downside

Try one of the following packages:

* _(clim)
* _(ucw)
* _(cl-http)
* _(cells)
* _(elisp)
* _(cl-xml)
* others

and you feel you are in „no-where“ land. The APIs are not for simply use them, you have to spend half of your life get into them. The obviously are useful and can be used by quite a few. One can not stress that enough. few people can do something in it, few can work with it, few can contribute to it.

Those who can find them obviously easy enough, but most don’t and so this stuff is used by let’s say a few hundreds.

Here some citations from mails I received for a few packages: (names omitted)

I do not use it, because I do not understand it

It’s complex and probably not what you really want….

I do not like anything in that area, so if I had to get into it I would write my stuff alone….

Of course there are counter example but even in the outstanding package of Edi Weitz you have to write:

(multiple-value-bind (mstart mend reg-start reg-end)
(cl-ppcre:scan „(\d+) Windows executable“
line)

whereas I wrote in Ruby e.g

if line =~ / (d+) Windows executable/

Yes, you are right, Edis syntax principally the „cleaner“ one. The stuff has to be stored somewhere, either in some globals or as in Edis package as return parameter, but how much do you have to remember?

Another example: My way to „web-programming“. I do had have to touch PHP code and this code wasn’t convincing. But one could understand it in a few days, and even change that and get to some end in a manageable time span. It has took me more then 2 months to get somewhere with UCW. Yes you can call me dumb, if you feel so, just strange that this dumb person manages it to get into rails in 3 days.

Or: I tried to get into clim for ages, I even paid for a migration of the Present/Accept stuff into the web surrounding. But without the authors help I did not manage to find out why some output was messed up, this has not happened to me in either Rails or OpenACS.

Try to get into CLIM with the given tutorials, good luck.

On the other hand me dumb person manges it to write a gui-application with CAPI in acceptable time.
So why?

Because people can use other solutions.

GM an epic failure

Well either it’s me who’s not getting it or something is really weird. So let’s put some figures in here.
The IPO has reached around 24 Billion (sorry have not found better figures)
the government has spend 50 Billions on GM before and
around 100 Billion were „outsourced“ to a bad GM „bank“.

Now if we assume the figures about the earnings are right, than we are talking about 3.5 Billion earnings.

Now let’s calculate
100 + 50 = 150
150 – 24(* 0.61) = 126 Billion losses left for the tax payer.

Let us assume GM would pay back 2.5 Billions each year than it would just take around 40 years to pay back
all the money from the government …

I can not see how this can be seen as a big success for the tax payers. So if anyone has another explanation, or can point out my miscalculations.

Please do so. Otherwise I’ve to conclude, the government is even a worse market player than one ever could imagine. I can just see one winner in here, the management of GM, I guess they will earn a few millions this year because of such a „successful“ year.

Maybe it’s not just me. Just read the comments at:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/First-day-trading-of-GM-apf-2339978096.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=5&asset=&ccode=#mwpphu-container

Again a Failout Plan

Well they name it euphemistic „safety chute“ and they simple ignore laws they themselves have decided.
Last year it was Greece, this year it’s going to be Ireland. Well the Irish have lived beyond any means and have obviously had a way too high
„growth“ rate in the paste. However the most depressign figure is that that have new debts of nearly one third of their complete balance.

Now Europe will again throw out money, we do not have for problems based on too easy money. An examplary Ponzi Scheme this time the defrauders control themselves and will held every single European citizen as hostage.

I guess you can imagine how angry I am..

Regards
Friedrich

Zementierung von Gesetzesbrüchen

Bailout aber immer doch.
Nun nach Griechenland könnte Irland „dran“ sein. Es gibt noch keine Änderung der Gesetze die Bailouts erlaubten. Aber was schert es unsere delebets. Und wieder einmal beweist sich. “ Wer mehr als einmal lügt, dem braucht man nicht mehr zu glauben“….

Gestern hiess es noch in den Nachrichten, „Irland wird kein Geld nehmen“ und heute:
Rettung? für Irland

Und wer schreit gleich mal wieder am Lautesten unsere OberMafiaSchuldenminister Schäuble. Es ist einfach nur noch widerlich.

Die Wahl in BW nächstes Jahr

Es sieht so aus als ob die gelb/schwarzen Verbrecher abgewählt werden. Was ein Glück.
Wir bekommen zwar den Teufel aber vielleicht dämmert es dann irgendwann auch dem Ahnunglosesten in welchen Morast uns die Politikersirenen gelockt haben. Vielleicht wird dann auch irgendwann mal etwas unternommen diese Parteien zu entmachten.

Ich hoffe stark, daß die FDP nächstes Jahr in BW nicht mehr in den Landtag kommt. Wer soviel gelogen und betrogen hat, sollte die Konsequenzen auch mal spüren.

Economig knowledge a scarce thing?

I wonder who can follow:
http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/the-3-reasons-bernanke-can%27t-win-535601.html?tickers=^UDN,^GSPC

Bernanke does the same as Greenspun had did, flooding the markets with money. Well let me ask if
http://fdominicus.blogspot.com/2008/10/fundamenls-misunderstood.html

How should one interprete the following sentence:
„This is monetary policy, not something vital to the future of the world, like, say, who gets kicked off „Dancing with the Stars.“ “

Irony? Sarcasm? Well, if you just read on you read this
„Since very few people in Washington have his back — Democrats distrust him because he was appointed by Bush, and Republicans distrust him because he was reappointed by Obama — the mean girls and guys feel free to lob spitballs at him every time he gets up to speak.“

You can see the author means this literally. It’s unbelivable that this should be true:
„Daniel Gross is economics editor at Yahoo! Finance.“

He does not get one thing straight. And even more unberable:
„Bernanke engaged in plenty of unorthodox activities — taking short-term interest rates to close to zero,“

Just imagine monetary policy is unimportant but in the same arguments he points out what Bernanke has all done. Well if that all is so unimportant why should Bernanke do anything? Why does he even write a sentence about Bernankes actions?

Monetary policy is important and the most important goal of any monetary policy must be to have stable money. he does not even think that, that this is important. So it’s as saying air is not imporant. I guess we should give him a few hours in a cheese cover. If he survives, than I admit my error. Air than is unimportant, if we have to get him out of the cover and he surives than he may have to admit that AIR is important.

More than one big inflation has shown, there are much more loosers than gainers. And it always has shown also. Those having done responsible will have to pay for he others, and a new round of blood-sucking starts. We are surely in a blood bath, and Bernanke has started it.

Well irony get’s a new meaning, this is what I found a Mr Greeenspun has to say:
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/b6e3d086-ed12-11df-9912-00144feab49a.html#axzz15KXx2tQN

I wrote about it more than once

well the economic knowledge of Obama and his Gang is near non existant. Even before the US citizens have voted for Obama I have written, that he does not have an economic expert knowledge.
If you can find my writing about it here: http://fdominicus.blogspot.com/2008/10/keep-this-on-record.html

And he shows this gapping hole again. If he really has said that Germany profits from the „open“ US markets. Well then I’ve some extra news about it for Obama. The German market is (at least for cars) as open as the US market, but people do not buy american cars. And they have good reasons. I bet the Americans also have good reasons to wish for german cars. If that will get more expensive, who will gain from it than?

The other gap is that Obama really seems to believe that introducinb barriers to free trade will do any part anything good. It’s as if you’d say alcohol is good for alcoholics.

I warned you before it all I warn you again. If the Fed and governement do not start striving for sound money, you will all get really poor. You than just can hope to have enough land to grow your own food. If that is what you want just follow Obame. He’ll manage to look this times as heaven on earth….

Wo bleibt das Eis?

Es soll ja zu einem verstärkten Abschmelzen kommen nur kann ich das auf dieserGrafik nicht erkennen

Nach dieser wäre 2010 das jahr mit der ungefähr zweithöchsten Ausdehnung des Seeeises in ca 8 Jahren… Sehe ich das etwas falsch?

Ok ich habe mich hier noch ein wenig umgeschaut:
http://www.science-skeptical.de/

Und dort kann ich eigentlich nur folgendes erkennen, das Eis um die Arktis wird weniger (spürbar) das Eis der Antarktis dehnt sich etwas aus . Addiere ich die Zahlen grop so hatten wir in 1979 so ungefähr 27,9 Millionen km-² Eis und in 2010 so ungefähr 26,58 Mio km-²
Eine Differenz von ca 1,4 Millionen oder 5%. Was für mich nicht wirklich beängstigend erscheint. Erstaunlich um die Antarktis herum sind 2/3 der Gesamteismenge. Diese Zahl war mir neu.

Safe Investements?

It seems putting money on diverse coporations can hardly be seen as „safe“ investment. GM will initiate another IPO, just with the advantage that given promises (pensions plans) are now guranteeed by the „governement“. And here in Germany we have sunk around 18 billons in the Commerzbank and there it’s unsure that tha intereste payments will be done. So much about the lies that we’ll get our money back…..

Weitere Eingeständnisse

nach GM werden auch die Steuerzahler bei der CB auf absehbare Zeit ihr Geld nicht wiedersehen. Und selbst die Zinszahlungen werden wohl eher nicht geleistet:
http://www.pressemitteilungen-online.de/index.php/dauerbaustelle-zwischenbericht-der-commerzbank-boersen-zeitung/

War wahrscheinlich besser zu einer anderen Bank zu wechseln.

How to defraud with success

http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/11/its-official-the-government-isnt-getting-its-money-back-out-of-gm/65591

I’m not suprised the slighest. The pension obligations are gone and they can start afresh and the poor tax payers, has to pay again.

Shadows of black

well usually the world is neither white nor black. Now it’s quite different in current politics. Ok agree the Republican have won. So what? They have also voted for all the diverse Bailout plans, especially the first one which was used to sunk 780 Billion Dollars without any effect and without any control. I wrote about it two years ago
see. e.g
http://fdominicus.blogspot.com/2008/11/obama-silver-bullet.html

Or just look around that blog for a while.

The big problem is unsustainability an as it’s name implies there is not constant unsustainable growth possible. Fact is without proper saving, investing does not work. And the repulican have not a slightest better record on wasting money. I’ve kept this:
http://fdominicus.blogspot.com/2008/10/keep-this-on-record.html

and it’s obvious that they just were in panic mode. I expect that with all their resources at their hand, that they realize what has been the problem. Nearly none of them has. And so we do not have even grey we just have shadows of black.

What I wish Obama and his Gang

especially Bernanke and not to forgot Geithner and last but not least expert Krugman. That they have to suffer under their own decisions. Guess Obama on Medicare or the like. Wouldn’t it be wonderful? Well that will not happen. If the retire they will with something above 10000-20000 Dollar each month. And if Obama follows the „presidential“ path, he well charge you without beeing ashamed a bit 50000 US-Dollar for each speack. Where he will „describe“ the world, and enough big money holders will be stupid enough to hire them. Another interesting finding would be to find the children of them in the public schools. Have you ever dared to ask where the childrens of this „highly respected“ persons are going? Or can you imagine an president waiting a few hours till a doctor comes looking after them? Or even simpler, can you imagine anyone from the family having to shop themselves? I bet if the Obamos go shopping the whole warehouse is closed down, a few dozen bodyguards and policemen will stand in the front of that house and „inspect“ everyone entering that warehouse. One even can imageine a descreet question to the secret services about the sales-persons. This is really „comfortable“, they live in a shell. Which has not much to do with reality of anyone else. Then one surely can talk about great visions and even better so because you know whom to give the invoice. Yes, we need of course this and that and because of „whatever“ we have to higher this tax so much, have an extra fee for that.
