En kommentar til flextumper, jubeloptimister og miljøidioter!

Forudsigeligt, forudset og forudsagt.

Mr. Putin used Russia’s oil wealth as his personal tool for building his popularity, riding a rise in prices in the eight years after 1999 to cement his position as the man who lifted the country from the shame of its post-Soviet prostration. But the price collapse is depleting his reserves of foreign currency, enfeebling the ruble and forcing up interest rates to painful levels. Suddenly he doesn’t look like the man with all the answers. Its been weeks since he showed up without his shirt on.

Det er sandelig ikke fordi, der ikke bliver gjort noget seriøst ved situationen!

Russian lawyers have criticized draconian new road safety laws that ban transsexuals from receiving driving licences.

Den skal næsten have lov til at stå for sig selv på linje med banksvinenes "årsagsforklaringer"!

Fin artikel (den første). Enkelte indvendinger

En mand der tydeligvis aldrig har besøgt Norge skrev: Only Norway, among oil-rich western countries, seems to have managed to curb the impulse to burn through the revenue as quickly as possible, while maintaining an open democracy and social stability.

Host, host  - ja for Norge har jo en stor og velfungerende privatsektor helt uafhængig af olie-industrien, et velfungerende landbrug, et sundt boligmarked og en stabil finanssektor.

For ikke at tale om det fuldstændige fravær af eksorbitante investeringer i nationaldragter og ekstremister, der massemyrder "vantro" i egne rækker......


I forlængelse heraf kan man spekulere over, hvor mange af Foghs tåbeligheder i 00erne der ville have været mulige uden nordsøolien -eller hvor megen Løkke nordsø gassen bragte hollænderne.
