I'll try to respond to your whole post, but I'll have some trouble:

 

Your example which you cite is the Great Depression. Wasn't that caused by a stock market crash, which led to people not going into debt? Debt is good for the financial system, as long as it's managed. If you can provide an example of what you're talking about in real life, then I'll believe you. :P

 

Singaporean officials go on higher alert as reports of small arm smuggling from China come in. Singapore asks China to crack down on these arms dealers. (Don't think you can try to incite revolt Paul)

 

 

The Israelis have begun to ship Palestinians in Israeli regions off to concentration camps.

 

The blogger from Palestine claims that his brother escaped from one of the camps and claimed that he saw Palestinian children being forced to do manual labor while the elderly were murdered and tossed into open pits. Little girls were sold as sex slaves to Israeli military officers in charge of the camp.

This is very disturbing.

?

There are UN peacekeepers between Israeli and Palestine. To do that they would've had to attack the peacekeepers to get through.

Er, no, 1) It's not state controlled. 2) That'd be ludicrous!

 

Furthermore, they're owned by AUDI, who are German!

I will buy it for 20 Billion euros

Okay, mate, that's bigger than your entire one year budget, and as I said - they're privately owned by a german company.

I did not know that

Spain annexes the Canary Islands

It doesn't mean it's true; it's just a blog entry. It did cause wide-spread anger, though.

Spain annexes the Canary Islands

 

 

You already own the Canary Islands.

 

...

 

...

 

Fail.

No its an Indepentet (sp) country

No its an Indepentet (sp) country

 

It's part of Spain, but it has self-government.

 

Unless you mean that you're stripping them of their self-government privileges?

... Well. I think it is safe to say that border securities are being tightened. On a side note Morocco is I believe 4/5 days from being mine. Projects Sagitaurus and Hermes are being started the ETA for both is 15 days.

There are two blogs concerning the German annexation of Morocco:

 

Hey, guys. Germany is annexing Morocco, a Muslim country. Prepare for your Burka, Germans!

 

Comment:

*ick dich!

 

I heard that the German military went into Morocco, shot a few Ragheads up and annexed it.

 

Comment:

That's horrible! Don't encourage them! What they have done is violating human rights, and I hope the UN has something to say about this!

I have, strangely, not read all of them, but I have skimmed them...They all indicate what I have been say is accurate and the first few specifically point out how the Great Depression was the result of Overproduction.

 

Also, Retech, if you economy is based on people going into debt then common sense dictates that eventually they will not be able to pay you back...

Can you find an article which states that overproduction on INDUSTRIAL GOODS caused a great depression? All I see is Agriculture, affecting farmers who are already pretty poor.

 

The entire world's financial system works on transferring and dealing with debt. It enhances liquidity, and improves economic growth. If you don't deal with debt, then your economy will probaly expand at most 1% but will be incredibly stable and sluggish. Most world economies go with a different approach: expanding 5 to 6% for a decade or two, then going into a slowdown for a year or two, before going back.

The expansion of consumer credit in the years following World War I enabled a spectacular increase in American consumerism. This encouraged overproduction as new technologies in manufacturing allowed businesses to produce more goods. The consequence of this was an inflated value of industrial capitalization. Stock prices, which kept rising, inflated the real value of corporations. In 1929 a share of Montgomery Ward stock sold at $439.00 far higher than the actual value of the retailer.

 

World War I left many other nations facing depression. Many of these nations were tied to American financial investments and potential customers of American products. High tariffs, however, exacerbated a smooth flow of trade, creating an imbalance. The 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff, for example coming after the 1929 crash, featured the highest tariff rate in U.S. history. American foreign interests were also jeopardized by social and political unrest in some of the most lucrative and important foreign markets.

Third bullet point

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble

Talking about new technology reaching saturation point and then explosively collapsing. Specifically

Another reason may have been accelerated business spending in preparation for the Y2K switchover. Once New Year had passed without incident, businesses found themselves with all the equipment they needed for some time, and business spending quickly decline

Effectively by saying you are selling trillions of dollars a year you are saying 'I am selling this years, next years and the year after that's profits, this year.' Eventually people will stop buying goods because they have enough to last them the next 5 years....Thus you will have a 5 year slump where you sell virtually no goods at all...

Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia have joined Brazil. Brazil asks the UK to finally relinquish the Falkland Islands. Also, Brazil's roadway system is now fully modernized, and work across SATO countries has begun.

The UK has denied Brazil's request.

GDP is not the amount of exports you have. It's Private Consumption + Private Investment + Government Spending + Surplus in Exports over Imports

 

Now I am trying to tell you that 5% growth is not much at all. I agree with you on the point of overproduction...in a way. However, I haven't had explosive growth and therefore I don't suffer overproduction. If I sold so many cars like the dot com bubble and all those exports, my GDP would be skyrocketing 10-15%, followed by a slump, but that isn't the case at all.

 

5% growth is stable growth, which definitely wouldn't affect the economy negatively. Otherwise, you'd think South America and China would be all the way in hell by now.

Can we make a deal?

Oh, and 84/200ish countries have a gdp growth rate of >5%, so...

Can we make a deal?

 

Depends on the terms.

Well, I'm going to bed now. Analysts predict that there will continue to be strong 5% growth for the coming decade, as a result of a strong private sector and booming export sector, as well as the development of Indonesia and Yemen into mature economies.

SR begins construction on a new passenger bullet train network, as well as a separate train system for shipment of either goods or resources.

 

They should cover most needs by 5 years, and 10 to be done completely across the board.

Can we make a deal?

 

Depends on the terms.

Well, is there anything in particular you want?
