No niin, kukas tekee samanlaisen Euro-alueen bailoutista:
D2 is shorthand for the second global economic depression.
Unlike the Zombie apocalypse — the complete collapse of civilization, nuclear winter, EMP wipeout, 99.99% mortality pandemics, etc. — D2 is real, tangible, and here today.
You can’t outlast D2 by stockpiling canned goods/bottled water, buying gold, or arming yourself to the teeth. It will stretch on for a decade or more.
The way to survive, even thrive, during D2 requires a different approach. It requires a vibrant and productive local economy. It requires people with the skills/equipment to contribute to it and the wherewithal to defend it if necessary.
Suomalaiset katsovat peruutuspeiliin ja rakentavat lisää ydinvoimaa. Ydinvoiman käyttö energiantuotantoon on maailmassa laskussa. Miksi? Vanhoja voimaloita on poistettava käytöstä, uusia on liian kallis rakentaa. Ainoa tapa saada ydinvoima kannattavaksi on ulkoistaa riskit ja kustannukset yhteiskunnan ja koko maailman kannettaviksi.
Entä mikä korvaa öljyn? Hiili. Miksi? EROEI ja saatavuus.

Found the picture at the Automatic Earth, with the caption “Please God hold my hand.” Who is the subject of that sentence and to whom is it addressed? Is it so that they have created something so terrible, that the subject of the sentence would like to be comforted by a Supreme Being? I guess that would be the given reading, from the point of view of the Automatic Earth. The eternal wisdom of true humanity apalled and terrified at the latest manifestation of hubris. But how does the question change, if we ask instead: is it so that we have created something so terrible, that we need a new God? With regard to hubris, that would at least take some of the edge off.
However, maybe the authentic dialectical way to read the caption is to see not only ourselves – the subject – in the picture, but also God, the addressee. The subject of the enunciation is speaking directly to the God in the picture.
