On a completely unrelated note, my dinner last night was lovely."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI have heard enough from the media. But great adversity brings great opportunity. So I want to hear people's views. Especially sasguru. And from any trained economists (I think we have a few : oracleslave, HAB?)
Being an economist merely makes it all the more aggravating when you see who the media wield out to discuss what is happening and what is going to happen. Like I've said, if someone sits on TV or writes in a newspaper claiming that they know what is going to happen - they are lying, or they have an agenda. The ones who know what they are talking about are the ones that talk in tones of "I don't know, but x would tend to indicate y...though you should bear in mind z"
...noticed how less often they are digging up economists that speak like that? (sad gits like me notice these things)
A clue to how the media operate, and that they are working to an agenda. Capita have recently been awarded a £25 million contract to employ 35,000 workers (yes, thirty five thousand) as part of the 2011 census. Granted these are mostly temp jobs and not exactly top drawer, but they are jobs nonetheless. No mention of that anywhere...certainly not on the BBC. If it had been 350 job losses, it would make every news bulletin.
Kinda makes you wonder what's going on, doesn't it?Last edited by PM-Junkie; 27 March 2009, 17:22.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
