It does have a role in making money efficient, but my gut would tell me that if the economy is running efficiently it's proportion would be quite small, as it's more efficient to have money in actually producing goods, then in "lending" to produce goods. Likewise, we have much of the world's top talent which in essence "produces nothing". Instead of building the next great car, they're trading obscure financial instruments. Too many managers, too few producers. Though, I'll admit that my understanding is limited. Last edited by DonQuigleone; 2013-01-21 at 16:46. |

Japan tries to improve relations with China while the Philippines wants to bring them to court
Quote:
The Abe government sent Yamaguchi Natsuo as the bearer of the letter. He belongs to the New Komeito Party, a coalition member described by Perlez as less hawkish than Abe and his LDP colleagues. We do not yet know whether any Chinese officials will meet with him in person. A less optimistic take on this event is that Abe is expecting his overture to be rejected providing further justification for the hawks in his Government to escalate matters.

Chinese workers revolt over 2-minute toilet breaks
http://news.yahoo.com/chinese-worker...--finance.html " Hundreds of Chinese factory workers angry about strictly timed bathroom breaks and fines for starting work late held their Japanese and Chinese managers hostage for a day and a half before police broke up the strike."

Looking at the recent comments from a PLA colonel, Japan should better tell Beijing to go and eat shit. There's no way anyone would negotiate with such idiots running free spouting phrases worthy of Hitler's classics. |

I came across this article from Australia yesterday:

Just reading the reaction from Beijing after Hillary Clinton's comments a few days ago was already funny. I can only picture what it would look like if Mattis or Dempsey replied with good old-fashioned slangs... comedy gold. |

It is either this old man has yet to move on with the times, or maybe people will abandon the thought of a military offense only after being a victim of 2 nukes unleashing an unstoppable wave of death. I would say he is the complete opposite, being a puppet of Wall Street & Bankster Inc. If I am not wrong, Hitler hated the bankers as much as he hated the Jews - maybe he is the one who popularised such a ridiculous association.

I was mostly taking the opportunity to make a cheap joke (and I meant it to be more about the Japanese then about Reagan/Hitler, in that the Japanese association with Hitler was more to counter the Soviets then an endorsement of his policies, and you could say the same about Reagan. Also. in terms of ideology, the only thing the Japanese had in common with Hitler was ultra-Nationalism, and you could say the same nationalistic attitudes were compatible with Reagan too.) |
