Re: Economy - 28 November (none / 0)

Banks that have no slack in their systems and have come close to collapse have lent Dubai money. If it goes pop, it takes several other Dubai based businesses with it, they all owe money to banks, who suddenly have another crisis on their handsand round and round we spiral toards the plughole.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: Economy - 28 November (none / 0)

How about wood soaked in gasoline for building new homes?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
