Rubin Farr Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy will be unexpectedly awesome. The Hobbit 3 will be predictably overlong and boring, til the last 45 minutes. Wii U will get another price drop The South Park RPG will be delayed again. Justin Bieber will finally get his ass kicked, by a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Npoess Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I just really hope this year will be the ending of the recession, it's been long enough now. But it seems like there's a likelihood there's just a new and even worse recession ahead, I keep reading about some grim ass prediction every time I go to a website on global economics. What is people's opinions/predictions on this? I no expert by any stretch (I don't know shit tbh), that's why I'm asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'v installed this https://gpgtools.org yesterday, but this'll only work when more people join the party. @ ceerial: where do you live? There are not many countries which are technically in a recession at this point.

(More like a stable bad economy which kinda improve insignificant enough to not be in a recession) Denmark, we haven't had it that rough, but I still don't see any significant improvements. I know that sort of thing takes time, but I'm in no way convinced there's a upswing coming. It was more the US I'm thinking about, a lot of "experts" predicts the american economy as a ticking bomb and we all know about their debt and their importance to world economy. Again.. I'm pretty ignorant on this subject, I don't really have that much to contribute to this discussion myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 There will be no upswing for a long time. But that's not the same as being in a recession. At least, if you follow the technical definition. The emotional definition would indeed be resulting in the feeling of a prolonged recession. As far as us economy is concerned, on some levels it's doing pretty good actually. It's growing faster than estimated. And that's exactly where the concerns are as well. If you look at the stockmarket and it's growth, people are concerned if there are big new bubbles which allow these growthnumbers. And to some degree I personally think there are. The biggest problem at this point in us economy, imo, is that a huge part of the population completely misses out on the created wealth at the top. The solution? Taxing seems obvious, but as long as money can flow through those tax free off shore accounts, it wont do much. So a set of globally shared taxation rules seems like a necessity to tackle problems like this. O, and the minimal wages thing, of course. But my economic predictions for 2014: more or less the same, but slightly better. Some small bubble might burst here and there, but they wont be nearly as devastating as the housing bubble. They'll be local and limited to a small set of losers. But in the end, growth without an upswing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is people's opinions/predictions on this? I no expert by any stretch (I don't know shit tbh), that's why I'm asking. my prediction is it won't get better. Like the thread says, "capitalism sucks". I think right now capitalism is just feeling a bit under the weather: running a fever, with achy joints. But little does it know, it's gonna progress to full blown aids. probably not in the next year though. I have also been thinking there has to be some kind of endgame, but maybe it won't happen in my lifetime. I see the Snowden thing as symptomatic of just the final stages of humankind living on our earth. The rich have "beaten the game", as I read recently. Govt's are refining their systems of control and will just continue to do so. Overpopulation, excessive use of resources, and pollution will increase quickly or slowly depending on how responsive we are, but I don't think they'll go away altogether... And even if we solve all our problems, we'll still be living on "Disneyland earth", everything predictable and pre-planned. No deaths in our self-driving cars, little disease. Living happy fruitful lives, chasing youth until a peaceful death. Everything humankind has ever hoped for. Barf. And that's the best case scenario. It's easy to get depressed. No more frontiers left, except inner space (video games). There's no distance between our dreams and reality any longer. We used to be able to fantasize that there were canals with water on mars, and martians, and interplanetary "ether" that we could sail ships on. Barring some big surprise about warping space and time, I don't see any big surprises coming our way. If we're lucky, we'll just have very incremental progress towards becoming an interstellar species. That's pretty dull to contemplate, too. I'm all for a certain degree of anarchy, myself, but I think we're in for increasing doses of control, control, control (govt. or just self-control).

goDel Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 O Lumpy, you're not jumping onto the endgames train as well, I hope? Why? Things change, but end? The only reason to hold onto that end idea, is some attachment to the present. Things will change and keep on changing, as they have always been. And people have been fearfull for endgames since the birth of religions long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
