However, I do know a couple of things, and they are bred of logic and common sense, which is worrying, because I have not seen these matters flagged in any of the global publications. Am I really smart, really paranoid or is everyone else just brain dead?
Number one. The Americans started ongoing economic SNAFU , not that they meant to and not that they ever mean anyone any harm (chorus: Oh no no no no), just as we would never conceive of wishing ill upon their inspired leadership. They are obviously leading the global pack in terms of post-party mop size requirements due to the fact that the guest list comprised of 900 baby boomers, a quart of sunshine juice and a rather undisciplined fiduciary system providing the party beats.
My question is, simply, if the yanks we responsible for setting off that firecracker in the Napalm factory, why is everyone else suffering? As of this morning, the British pound, the Euro and a truckload of other currencies had lost a bunch of decimal points against the dollar.
How does that make sense?
A follow up to that question is how the hell oil prices seem to still be slipping even though the dollar has fortified. Logically, if you are buying something in a currency and that currency got more expensive, wouldn't the item being purchased also get more expensive, at least in the very short term?
My head hurts.
Oh, and advance congratulations to all the normal citizens of the UAE and Dubai anticipated decline in diesel prices. This may be the first time in recent memory where the price of anything would have dropped in our beloved city. Although, the gracious decision makers did pick the only commodity which the average ex-pat male is less likely to consume apart from the heavy flow tampon.
Ho hum...
