While that's true, the big mistake originally was in the valuation of slower climate. Compare the latitudes in the Americas for productivity. It's the same deal. While I found the X-Y axis stuff in the other thread amusing, I don't buy that the Chinese are up there with the Japanese and I don't buy that Bulgaria and Estonia are up there ahead of the Russians. And the IQ map is also interesting, but climate and agrarian/industrial also have more to do with the disparities in the outcome of Eurofinance.Olog's off too, but he does have a point about Eurodiplomacy dusting off old work because in the end they're too lazy to try something new. At least they're not marching into each other's vineyards yet. Heh. I don't see Germany being at the center of all things EU as a surprise either ... with their climate and work ethic being what it is, they're the megabank and they accomplished that fair and square. Had the rest of Europe simply exchanged their old currency for new and maintained their economies without going crazy borrowing, they wouldn't be where they are now. I see the EU as Europe's attempt to emulate the US but they're doing it all wrong. Separate nation states existing before the republic was formed is every bit as daft as letting New Jersey be a separate nation from Ohio ... and so all this talk of consolidation is a NECESSARY part of forming an EU in the first place and they should have accomplished THAT first before shutting down the state banks and creating a FED ... but hey ... they fucked up. Now they've gotta decide what they want to do. In this nation, New York ran America for better than 100 years. Now it's Charlotte's turn. LOL |
