huskie comments on Global Depression is coming! Will Colombia's isolation protect it? The Great Depression of the 1930s has been a powerful stimulus to the development of macroeconomic theory for more than 70 years. Those that occurred in the U.S. and elsewhere, and similar episodes in Latin America more recently — are among the most important economic events of the 21st century. They are also among the least understood. major depressions have occurred more recently in Japan, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Finland. I think three factors vary in different countries and times, all apply variations of dynamic general equilibrium models and growth accounting to separate out the causes of changes in output into three input components — labor, capital, and productivity. Cheers

huskie comments on Crazy Rugby Players No, they are not, The All Blacks, the international rugby union team of New Zealand, perform a haka (Maori traditional dance) immediately prior to international matches. The Haka is also performed by some other New Zealand national teams, such as the Kiwis (rugby league) and the Tall Blacks (men's basketball). Over the years they have most commonly performed the haka "Ka Mate". In the early decades of international rugby, they sometimes performed other haka, some of which were composed for specific tours. Since 2005 they have occasionally performed a new haka, "Kapa o Pango." Cheers bmp

huskie comments on La extradición masiva no herirá de muerte los procesos de Justicia y Paz ni de parapolítica, pero sí se puede obstaculizar la verdad que empieza a aflorar Primero se cuestionaba por que pese a las fuertes restricciones, lograban burlar al Inpec y hacerle "conejo" a la obligacion de salir del delito...el gobierno CUMPLE su promesa, el que siguiese delinquiendo se extraditaria. Cumplio su palabra y hoy estan en carceles completamente aislados, lo cual solo habla que el gobierno de Uribe es igual de drastico y serio con los paras, guerrillos o cualquier grupo delincuencial, demuestra que no le debe a nadie y no le teme a nadie. El proceso de justicia y paz es (con todo y tropiezos) exitoso, por que? se logro desmovilizar a los cabecillas y mas de 20.000 fusiles armados..., se esta logrando -y seguira logrando- que relaten la verdad historica de su actuar paramilitar y otros delitos y se lograra reparar a las pesonas cercanas de los ejecutados por los paras (,uchos ex-guerrilleros), aparte de eso responderan por sus delitos de narcotrafico. Aqui las palabras que les gustan a los guerrillos para negociar desmovilizaciones: impunidad, indulto, amnistia, olvido, etc no tienen cabida por ningun lado. ADELANTE PRESIDENTE Cheers

huskie comments on why do colombians think the USA is the best country to live in I do not agree in the manner buggy makes it his business to advocate and berate Colombia and its goverment, they way he does, (very negative) in my opinion he never has anything positive to say either about the US and Colombia. There are lots of positives in regards to both countries!!! Cheers

huskie comments on Chavez- Is there reason for the paranoia? at Biafra, you could not have said it more elocuently. I agree Chavez is a pawn and for that he is digging his own grave, cant wait! Iran isn’t an energy-independent country. Iran produces more than 4 million barrels of oil per day, the fourth-highest production in the world. And with the near-constant reporting about Iranian crude reserves during the past six months, I find it difficult to believe that anyone could be unaware that Iran has 132 billion barrels in proven reserves--or, at least, they claim to. But what’s often ignored is that we don't consume crude oil. You don't fill your car's tank with crude, nor is it used to power jet aircrafts, cruise ships or railway locomotives. Crude oil, in its natural state, often isn’t even that flammable; one of the first uses of crude oil was as an alternative to whale blubber in oil lamps. The real global source of energy is refined products: gasoline (petrol), diesel and jet fuel. Crude oil is nothing more than a raw material--the feedstock used to produce these refined products. Here's where Iran's energy equation doesn't add up. The Iranian parliament set a date for the introduction of gasoline rationing; it also announced a roughly 25 percent hike in gasoline prices. That's because the country is literally running out of gas. The Iranian government has elected the self-destructive practice of subsidizing petrol by pegging the price at 9 cents a liter (34.6 cents per gallon) for the past three years, despite the rapid rise in gasoline prices almost everywhere else around the world. As with any good, artificially low price, it leads to excess demand and waste encouragement. Because gasoline is so cheap, consumers will use more petrol and won't take steps to conserve. Second is the far-more-obstinate problem of refining capacity. Refiners literally convert raw crude oil into these usable refined products such as gasoline. They're the key middlemen between crude oil and actual, usable products. This crucial step in the crude oil supply chain is often ignored by the financial media. Assuming the refineries are working properly, the total throughput of Iranian refineries is less than 1.5 million barrels of crude oil per day. And that's a big assumption; as I've stressed before, Iran has massively underinvested in the upkeep of its energy infrastructure. If refinery accidents and shut-ins are relatively common in countries like the US and the UK, you can imagine the potential if a country isn't investing sufficient cash in maintenance. At any rate, Iran's refining capacity is no better than 38 percent of its oil production; the country can't even refine half the oil it produces. Nor, for that matter, can Iran even refine close to what it consumes. The bottom line: Iran actually imports some 40 percent of the oil consumed domestically. Somewhat akin to Coleridge's ancient mariner, Iran is surrounded by crude oil but totally incapable of using that oil domestically. Importing all that petrol is expensive. Iran's parliament is sensibly concerned with its domestic subsidy program and wants to limit the annual subsidy to $2.5 billion. Price hikes isn't going to fix that problem or curb Iran's dependence on foreign refining capacity. And this isn't a problem just for Iran. with the global energy puzzle, the picture changes dramatically. As part of Chavez's "Socialist Revolution," he's implicitly and/or explicitly threatened to cut off US oil supplies; Venezuela exports roughly 1.5 million barrels of oil per day to the US, including both raw crude and oil products. That puts Venezuela behind only Canada and Mexico as a source of petroleum for the American market. In the context of the current tight global crude market, this would seem to be a significant potential problem. Chavez has, of course, followed up this rhetoric with stunts like offering subsidized heating oil to poor in the US and even getting Joe Kennedy to front that effort. He's also talked with China and the left-leaning mayor of London about ways for Venezuela to divert. But we shall see what happens next Cheers
