Olie fra Mexicanske Golf kan måske nå Europa

June 11, 2010 by Ragnar

Der kører rygter rundt omkring olieudslippet i den Mexicanske Golf.

Nyheder fra Irland
Oil spill to reach Europe, Arctic

Nyheder fra Indien
Spreading crisis: Will US Gulf spill reach Europe?

Så mangler vi bare et ekstra vulkanudbrud fra Island til at toppe den økonomiske krise -
DF kalder udenrigsministeren i åbent samråd om Euroen og EU´s fremtid - to kællinger der skal løse Dansk økonomi.

Det ser godt ud!

The rumour isn't a fact! People can say everything that only occurs to them, but they don't write custom written essays, so nobody can speak about something with confidence until it's proved.

Hihihi

Rent faktisk så en en lille video med et genialt løsningsforslag til at få al spildolien opsamlet igen. Naturligvis var det to hvide mænd, der havde udtænkt det. Hvad ellers?

Om det kan omsættes i praksis er vel tvivlsomt, men bare det at der er nogle der har tænkt over det og fået ideer, er jo det, der skaber udvikling.

A load of sh*t

Hollænderne har faktisk skibe der kan suge både olie og vand op. Hvorefter det pumpes over i tanskibe. Derefter lægger vandet sig nederst med olien ovenpå, da det skiller af sig selv. Så pumpes vandet igen overbord og man forstætter proceduren indtil tankskibet er fuldt.
På denne måde kan man faktisk opsamle det meste af olien.
OBAMA har bare ikke villet tage imod et tilbud om hjælp!

Iøvrigt så var min hovedbekymring at det er sgu' lige voldsomt nok oveni den økonomiske sutiation.

Deflation Scare Dead Ahead

And who knows, stocks may not even make it to Friday considering all that’s going on these days. There’s a worsening ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that is the worst ever threatening to decimate economies on an unknown scale. There’s another volcano in Iceland threatening to erupt that would shut down Europe in more ways than one. And most importantly there’s a global credit contraction contagion on the brink of being triggered. In fact, when you boil it down to important factors in a fiat currency economy, it could be said money supply is the most important factor of them all, because theoretically, if you throw enough of the green stuff at any problem it’s suppose to go away, at least temporarily. At least that’s the way it was until lately, where because of sheer magnitudes of debt and deficits stimulus spending of this variety has reached a state of plunging diminishing returns replacing marginal declines previously.

Mon ikke det er værd at tænke på at forberede sig en lille smule.

TWO DECADES OF GREED – THE UNRAVELING (Featured Article)

Letter to Volker

Dear Mr. Volker:

The real crisis is not 'carbon' or any of the other trumped up diversions in the headlines, designed to herd the sheep behind this scheme, or that.

Instead, I'd suggest that it is "who's gonna buy the ruined real estate debt instruments from across the whole South-Gulf region for x miles inland and the eat the costs for the massive economic collapse including the massdestruction of pension fund assets and the beggaring of the Boomers that will surely accompany it this fall?

think about it: If you owned Gulf coast property and it became oil soaked and smelling of oil to high heavens, would you pay the mortgage, or would you throw down the keys and say "Have fun, bank..."?

Why can't leadership in America lead for a change? By getting ahead of the problems rather than being two years behind?

Louisiana is trying by attempting to fill in barrier islands to create am oil barrier 9-miles out, but it's a little bigger problem than just one state, you know?

What happens when there is so much oil in the Gulf that air quality/ hydrogen sulfide levels make coastwise living unhealthy, cancerous, or even immediately fatal?

What happens if a million homeowners and condo-dwellers all throw down their keys in mass 'deeds in lieu of foreclosures' this fall and head north to clear air? What happens to the underlying securitizations? And what about the banks and pension funds that thought they had assets?

I'll tell you: They decline to near zero. And that collapses the economy. Period. Obvious as pie. Yet not one major financial figure (such as yourself) has called for a meeting to develop plans for economic collapse as a result of the Gulf! I'm shocked. Not blaming you...the problem is systemic, of course.

Maybe though, since you're a former Fed boss, you can explain to people in Washington that we are in a long-term secular bear market, and that our currency was in a heap of trouble already from past excesses and now with mass real estate declines around the GOM it gets worse than imaginable because of the financial impacts almost certain to come.

As an aside, you realize I'm sure, that since you left the Fed job in 1987 the US Dollar has lost 48.3% of its purchasing power due to inflation? The track record of your successors has been less than admirable. The Fed is still watering down purchasing power of the dollar which masks the fact that the Dow has been in a purchasing power parity decline since 2000, but that's another problem. The oil mess could dwarf even this and in a year.

The main problem I see this fall is oil-induced economic collapse by mid November as someone's gonna get stuck for the costs shoreside when folks pack up and leave. I think you're a really bright guy and can see it, too, if you look...and maybe start working on options to prevent calamity for the Nation.

Thank you in advance.

PS If you're ever in East Texas outback and want a stogie and a glass of Remy drop by.
PPS: I just bought a 1974 "Whip Inflation Now" button, and I promise to wear it.
