Global Financial Crisis

[Cyborg Eastern European]

A world war would be a better idea.
But we need a gene pool purging regardless.
And I used up my 7.62x39 cartriges trying to shoot that bunnyhopping bastard above me.

Screw you, At least .22 is legalized hunting ammo

7.62x39 is legal for a bigger game.
Humans.

The thing is, all capitalist economies are cyclical in nature.

Interesting. Do you know Nikolai Kondratiev ?

"What goes up must come down"

This is those new American **** , It isn't a good solution .

No, it's called free markets.

Exactly, we don't want that.
There are 'Milton Friedman free markets' and there are 'John Maynard Keynes free markets'. Great difference.

 

[G36E]

If you've been to the political compass thread you'll know what free market I'd prefer.

 

[Adorno]

And you'll know we disagree - A LOT

Let's not repeat dalai pasha.

NZD has dropped to less than 58 cents to the USD.

It was at 82 cents last year.

China will be effected by this. They sell most of their **** to the USA. The USA doesn't want to buy as much at the moment, which is bad for china. Which also means that they (and everyone else) want less raw resources. Which is bad for us

I would love a zombie apocalypse, considering my house has security cameras, a shotgun and an smg. Let the mayhem unleash.

China has a rapidly growing domestic market which they've been trying to grow for years.

 

[italiano]

try not to get screwed over while the big fat bosses loose virtually nothing .

The wealthy are the hardest to get hit in all of this. They're the most leveraged, and where do you think they have their money?

What goes up must come down

Not in equal amounts, at least not unless a global war or some other massive disaster occurs.

Notice that China aren't particularly worried by all this? Communism may suck balls when you want to have freedom, but hey, they'll own our asses in 10 years anyway.

Because until lately they weren't as affected. China are capitalists these days, they just happen to have a single-party state. They won't own our arses, but they are emerging as the next superpower, and the Americans (or at least a minority in influential positions) seem to be doing everything they can to lose their 'top dog' status.

No, it's called free markets.

It isn't a free market. Free markets don't have government bailouts.

NZD has dropped to less than 58 cents to the USD.

Not quite as dramatic as your larger neighbours. The AUD has dropped from 98 US cents to 64 cents in just two months.

Which also means that they (and everyone else) want less raw resources. Which is bad for us

Aussie? Don't worry too much, Australia is better positioned than most others.

China has a rapidly growing domestic market which they've been trying to grow for years.

This mess will still hurt their growth, and their demand for raw materials, at least in the short-term.

SMG? Aren't those things illegal for civilians in most countries?

Anyway, what guns?

 

[ChurchOfFonz]

Shotgun is mossburg 590, IDK about the smg, but its sexy and efficient.

Oh, china will still grow strongly. Just not as strong.

 

[Archonsod]

I wouldn't be so sure. I mean, China hold a third of the worlds population or thereabouts; Far more than most Western companies currently access.

a sixth

 

[Untitled.]

India has also almost a sixth of the worlds population but isn't as wealthy as China will be.
Maybe the chinese people will get greedy and invade either Russia or India. Who knows.

EDIT: Got messed up with the numbers while doing my math homework sry

 

[Hersen]

India has a bit more than a billion. Total population is 6 something billion.

Maybe Archonsod was talking about something else, but you just come across as retarded.

a sixth, damnit.
China AND India together have about a third.

Maybe Archonsod was talking about something else.

No, he wasn't. Read his post; it's quite straightforward. He made a mistake, like the other dude (a gross one).
