RE:RE:The economics just will not work...
Agree with you BC on the post by Dbeaude as being bang on, no pun intended, on his analogy to shooting onself in the head, but I still say this is by far our worst crisis. We can mitigate oil and water with technology but how do you mitigate stupidity, fraud, corruption and falsehoods that characterize banana republics and can effect overall investments by a company in the country. This week might very well be the' tale of the tape' for future foreign investments if not mitigated favourably in our behalf and even though the goose is cooked or dead, these ' loose cannons' have been loosened from Pandoras box and they are eluive at putting back in. I am being deliberately metaphorical here because I don't want to be too negative or cycnical, but personally, I have a lot of hard earned money tied up in Bankers, like all of you, and I am very,very concerned with these developments which can spiral out of control so easily when some sort of "nationalism' is involved. After all,countries are run by politicans, not business people,and that should scare us all !!
