Text of the page (random words):
sion henceforth became a revenue haemorrhage particularly when the company the city had hired to run the haemorrhage insisted on sticking to the terms of their contract most unsporting this contributed to the city s bankruptcy what a shame all right you may feel pity for the unfortunate residents of san bernadino well perhaps only for those who didn t vote for a democrat to create new problems as well as expand existing problems created by a previous democrat regarding the majority of those who didn t vote for a democrat what was i saying about the lesser of two evils above drat ah san bernadino sitting pretty in the california sun no rustbelt industrial decay there things aren t so bad its bankruptcy was not the biggest municipal default in american history detroit s was bigger it s not the poorest city of significant size in the usa detroit is poorer that must be of some comfort however the tale of san bernadino s red light blues isn t my favourite vignette from the article it is the following when tacoma wash motorist kevin schmadeka received a ticket accusing him of running a red light courtesy of the australian company redflex that installed the system he wanted to face his accuser and challenge the ticket just one problem he was told he d have to pay 670 in travel expenses to bring in a redflex employee from out of state when i was at the clerk s office inquiring about chain of custody information the employee at the counter mentioned that if i wanted to subpoena a camera company representative that there was a fee schmadeka told thenewspaper com the judge singled out the sixth amendment right to face one s accuser and dismissed the charges against schmadeka this has got it all a city authority falling afoul of their nasty little arrangement with one of those horrible private sector firms which exist solely to assist government authorities big and small to meddle in the lives of their subjects more effectively a plucky individual fighting city hall by asserting his natural born rights and winning a judge telling the state where it can stick its not just ridiculous but also unconstitutional bureaucratic imposts usa usa usa there s hope for us all yet incidentally i found this jolly article on the venerable instapundit trouble is that the venerable instapundit is liable to follow such an article up with a link to some story about how the nsa s been collecting your e mails toenail clippings and belly button lint or perhaps an update on the irs s campaigning efforts during the recent presidential campaign or maybe even the media s primary role in exorbitantly publicising and racialising the zimmerman trial and you as an australian small government type you start to feel a bit depressed again come on america we re relying on you to somehow tow us out of this illiberal bog our ruling class has quite contentedly driven us into it is really quite depressing to see that you are stuck in the same mud if not quite down to your wheel arches like us but after that flush of exasperation has passed your thoughts may drift back to sunny california and san bernadino and you realise well at least we re not detroit there will always be detroit july 27th 2013 11 comments comments are closed you can see why matt and trey picked on them james waterton perth australia how very odd korea you have probably read of the north koreans shamelessly ripping off a suite of disney characters in one of their infamous stage shows why all the pageantry ok it s north korea silly question but why now well it may have something to do with the young leader kim jong un being freed from dad s shackles and finally being able to get his leg over recently married not to fatty kim as the chinese call him new mother and former popstar hyon son wol but she s an interesting one is madame comrade hyon an accomplished musician in her own right she has a string of hits as long as your bayonette such as footsteps of soldiers i love pyongyang she is a discharged soldier and we are the troops of the party real toe tapping stuff however her star rose highest when she embraced her fans in the countryside with the 2005 chart topper excellent horse like lady something lost in translation or a manifestation of the severe shortage of tractors update by popular demand youtube clips provided no translations sorry and i am unable to verify whether the clips match the actual songs not being versed in korean further update call that pop music this is pop music and no i don t expect you to sit through that atrocious k pop just trying to make a point that being said it is worth noting how freaking massive k pop is throughout asia a market of 2 billion comparing the vigour of south korean k pop with its nothern counterpart as churned out by the likes of kim jong un s latest squeeze reminds me of this well known photo god bless capitalism july 11th 2012 12 comments comments are closed keynesians on austerity predictably wrong james waterton perth australia economics business globalization european affairs i have lost count of the number of opinion pieces written by finance commentators and journalists who complain that the austerity programmes of europe are doomed to fail because they cause perpetual economic contraction resulting in shrinking government revenues curtailing the ability to pay down debt which was why the austerity programmes were embarked upon in the first place and this will go hand in hand with a widespread precipitous and neverending decline in living standards which raises the spectre of social and or political collapse the alternative solution they generally propose comes from our good friend baron keynes naturally this is utterly wrong headed naturally i do not take much issue with the consequences of european austerity that have been identified however austerity is not the cause of these austerity works just fine if governments do not implement it alongside tax increases which is what pretty much every austerity programme either real or imagined in europe is either proposing or enacting it s the tax increases that will cause the vicious cycle mentioned above not the austerity stupid austerity alone redirects capital from government programmes to more productive areas of the economy resulting in growth but austerity plus tax hikes decreases the size of one part of the economy the public sector and this on its own is of course a good thing whilst putting a yoke on the private sector by preventing individuals and companies from stepping into the breach with punitive taxes discouraging investment or making it unaffordable of course this is a recipe for limitless economic contraction and social misery citizens of a nation that requires a genuine period of austerity must be aware that there will be pain as structural adjustments take place whilst private sector investment slowly and surely crowds out a throttled and atrophying civil service but pain is and was always going to be inevitable when the almighty spending binge so many governments have embarked upon over the last couple of decades unavoidably draws to a close either through substantial policy shifts or sovereign default the former is much less painful than the latter but more politically difficult so it seems and in dealing with the current debt crisis keynesians have never seen a can they haven t wanted to kick down the road february 1st 2012 17 comments comments are closed a second no shit sherlock moment for the day james waterton perth australia asian affairs environment

rapidly developing part of asia for the best part of four years thus far i cannot stress how strongly the above is true oh sure people worry about climate change in fact i would say they are less skeptical about it than the average westerner but virtually no one would sacrifice development in its name i have said it before and the greens really need to get it through their thick skulls if
