Economy heads for a grim recession : Comments

By Henry Thornton, published 6/8/2013

But no one, not even the RBA, is coming to grips with the main problem facing Australia, which is double-digit cost disequilibrium - a severe lack of international competitiveness.

Hasbeen -- No Cherful, Australia and the rest of the world are experiencing a structural collapse of the house of cards that is consumerist corporatism and that has created the social disaster of feminism among other things.

Totally agree with the first part of that statement Hasbeen, but I fail to see how feminism ties in with it. Feminism came about because motherhood and the great toil and burden associated with the day to day care of large families went unrewarded in society. The men had the voting power, the financial power and the freedom in marriage to piss off on week-ends or whenever they felt like it but women didn’t have that freedom with 4 to 6 kids hanging off their skirts.

They had to fight male courts and priests and male doctors for the right to contraception, fight the males for the right to vote.
Then seeing the financial freedom and power over their lives that men
wielded and also the freedoms men had in marriage regarding spending time doing what they fancied
without having children screaming and hanging off their skirts, they realised that Men had a better and fairer deal than they did
and so they left the kitchens to have some spending power and freedom of their own and to even the deal between men and women.

That shut down the population engine room of the country so today the major Consumer bases are in heavily populated countries like China and so our Corporations have taken jobs offshore to cheaper work bases, and Australian producers and manufactures have to shut down because they can’t compete with those cheaper workers and our workers
have huge mortgages,cars,credit cards and all the rest of it and can’t afford to accept cheaper wages because they have to make those payments.

.......continuing my above post re corporations and
Financial meltdowns

The chief honcho at Meyers recently said "the days of
marking something up by 150% are gone and we have to reduce
our prices. I bet a lot of the stuff they sold at 150% mark-ups
were made for a trifling amount in overseas slave shops, (sorry,
work-shops) Consumers have gotten wise to the fact that they
have been ripped off and have become very cautious about inflated
prices.

Can't blame them for exploiting the cheap labor I suppose
but therein lies the problems we are facing in Australia.
We can't compete in labor prices or trading prices with China and
bigger populations.

Maybe we will have to accept a lower standard of living, hard to
do when the monthly mortgages and car payments, credit cards etc.
already have to be paid and are locked in.

oops! I apologise
Antiseptic for mixing you up with Hasbeen.
I knew you weren't Hasbeen when I read your post
but then somehow I typed his name.

I do tend to get your names mixed up for some reason and I was just
debating with Hasbeen the other night.

Astronomers Find Ancient Star
'Methuselah' Which Appears To Be Older Than The Universe
http://refreshingnews99.blogspot.in/2013/08/astronomers-find-ancient-star.html

Scientists have discovered an "impossible" star
which appears to be older than the universe.

The mysterious star Methuselah appears to be between 14 and 15 billion years old - a bit of an issue considering the universe itself is known to have come into existence 13.8 billion years ago.

Oddly enough, Methuselah
is even located inside our own galaxy - about 190 light years away.

Request to Falsify Data Published In Chemistry Journal

"A note inadvertently left in the 'supplemental information' of a journal article appears to instruct a subordinate scientist to fabricate data.

Quoting: 'The first author of the article, "Synthesis, Structure, and Catalytic Studies of Palladium and Platinum Bis-Sulfoxide Complexes," published online ahead of print in the American Chemical Society (ACS) journal Organometallics, is Emma E. Drinkel of the University of Zurich in Switzerland.

The online version of the article includes a link to this supporting information file. The bottom of page 12 of the document contains this instruction: "Emma, please insert NMR data here! where are they? and for this compound, just make up an elemental analysis ..."

Ford’s appointment sends a clear message: US policymakers want to destroy Egypt in the same way they have destroyed Iraq and Syria - by using death squads and false-flag terror to incite civil war.”

Reagan, who created them,
“No - it’s even worse than that!

In the past, the US government would straightforwardly help dictators mass-murder their own people. In 1965 Indonesia, for example, CIA-controlled death squads murdered roughly one million opponents of the Suharto regime.

The CIA collected the names of prospective victims, trained the death squads, and unleashed them. Most of the million people murdered by those CIA death squads were brutally tortured before death…

…Today, the US is more interested in destroying Middle Eastern countries than in propping up Asian and Latin American dictators. So it has refined its use of death squads. Instead of simply murdering anti-government activists to prop up an American-owned puppet dictator, the US now sponsors death squads on both sides of the political-religious div

“According to Global Studies professor Michel Chossudovsky, Robert Ford teamed up with notorious war criminal John Negroponte to apply the “Salvador Option” in Iraq in 2004. Chossudovsky writes: “The ‘Salvador Option’ is a ‘terrorist model’ of mass killings by US sponsored death squads. It was first applied in El Salvador (by Negroponte) in the heyday of resistance against the military dictatorship, resulting in an estimated 75,000 deaths.”

Today’s Egypt, like 1980s El Salvador, is experiencing a heyday of resistance against military dictatorship. And Egypt’s military dictatorship (like El Salvador's 1980s junta) has already resorted to the mass murder of anti-government activists.

Will Robert Ford,..an expert in organizing political mass murder, help the Egyptian regime slaughter..tens of thousands of peaceful protesters?”

k) Of Course!

ide..The purpose: Create a civil war
to weaken the targeted nation.”

The £170bn secret raid on your savings:

How keeping rates at a record low
is a government ploy to pay off its debts

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/saving/article-2392174/Keeping-rates-record-low-deliberate-government-ploy-pay-debts.html

A stealth raid by the Bank of England has stripped savers of more than £170billion, a Money Mail investigation can reveal.

By slashing the base rate to a record low of 0.5?per cent and allowing the cost of living to soar for more than four years, the Bank has whittled away the value of cash sitting in High Street accounts through a ‘secret tax’.
http://www.blacklistednews.com/Bash_Brothers%3A_How_Globalization_and_Technology_Teamed_Up_to_Crush_Middle-Class_Workers/28090/0/0/0/Y/M.html

And it is not just savers who have effectively had their money pinched. Anyone who has a fixed monthly income, such as pensioners, or has had a tiny pay rise, has also lost out.
