Let's talk about the resource curse economies being f*cked

Post by cronus » Wed Dec 14, 2016 12:27 pm

Australia, Canada, Saudi Arabia and even the USA. All the BRIC economies. Bollexed up because gifting culture ain't rational and never will be. They thought it was and built huge derivative debt mountains on the hope the map would follow the river, but the river is doing its own thing. The UK is booming despite BREXIT. It's output is mainly the service sector, finance and media and so on....all very adaptive in the current circumstances.
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

I have no idea. I think he may be upset because Canada rejected the UK's post-Brexit trade agreement advances. The service sector only services the domestic economy you need to bring something to the table for foreign trade to occur.

I can bring home made flapjacks to the table if that helps any.

I'll bring either iron ore wool. And chips. Yummy, Tassie woodchips.

Gin is for self-deluded, cardigan wearing, soon-to-be-pensioned-off neo-Nazis. :razzle:

It's lemon cordial for me during the day and up to three beers after 6 in the evening. Perfect drinks for cantankerous grumps. :mrgreen:

Well, it is hard to expect the culturally deprived parts of Australia to appreciate the finer things of life.

Like gin...

Excellent. So, some inhabitants of culturally deprived parts of Australia can appreciate the good things in life too. Even those among them who mistake gin for being one of them. Onya. :tup:

Coopers is pretty lame as far as good Ales go. Although, naturally I'd prefer to drink it rather than any of the other mainstream commercial beers here.

It does imply that parts of Australia have culture.
