Mikhail Gorbachev
The nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl 20 years ago this month, even more than my launch of perestroika, was perhaps the real cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union five years later. Indeed, the Chernobyl catastrophe was an historic turning point: there was the era before the disaster, and there is the very different era that has followed. … http://www.greenfacts.org/en/chernobyl/l-3/5-social-economic-impacts. htm#1p0
western united states radiation levels, as far as i can tell, they aren’t high enough to collapse the western united states economy.
at chernoble, they were high enough to collapse the russian economy, thru too much sickness over time and huge losses in productivity.
Iitate, 25 miles northwest of the Fukushima plant, have had cesium levels that high.
policy on rice will ban planting of the crop in soil that has more than 5,000 becquerels of cesium-137 per kilogram of soil. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/10/world/asia/10japan.html
1.Long-term yields are rising
2.Banks are not lending
3.Consumer credit is still dropping
4.Housing prices hit new all time record lows
5.Housing starts have hit new all time record lows
6.Banks are sitting on massive amounts of properties not marked-to market
7.Commodity prices have soared
8.Food and energy prices are up substantially
9.Those on fixed incomes earning nothing on their deposits are getting crushed
10.The stock market marches higher
Bernanke has taken credit for point number 10. He ignores or denies any role in points 1 through 9.
Regarding your last video…if they decide there are not enough bears, I expect a pullback to around 1310 or so, before rocketing upward. With all the free money available, they would be able to let the market hit an important technical signal, then completely violate it with all the illegally printed money.
Waiting game…
in 5 years JAPAN economy probably collapses, based on this outcome. there’s a lot of unsustainable costs associated with a meltdown.
