  1. @evangineer And then, when Citigroup was no longer solvent enough to be part of the plutonomy, we paid them out of the Federal Treasury.
  2. RT @cmbnova: RT @GregorMacdonald: TheDark Side of Dubai Riveting, hearbreaking http://bit.ly/8ywrE8
  3. @evangineer It's not just the moronic guiding principle of Marie Antoinette, it's also imbecilic investment strategy. 0 for 2.
  4. @jeffjarvis Cannot understand why Metallica gets more playtime than Aretha. Head hurts.
  5. RT @evangineer "I'm flashing on Tower of Babel. Instead of confounding their languages, He confounded their finances." That would do it...
  6. @evangineer @frankspencer The future of luxury was highly overstated, partially evil. Check this: http://bit.ly/3s9ZUY
  7. @evangineer @frankspencer AIR CONDITIONED SKI PARK IN THE DESERT. That says it all. That's asking God to kick you in the face.
  8. @wind4me Yikes, Dubai versus Tiger Woods. Yes, that's scary.
  9. @BMR789 Yes, the waterway is a VALUABLE resource, not one based on speculation and bullshit. That's why Singapore is not Dubai. $$
  10. @wind4me Haven't heard much from Pickens other than those TV spots last year.
  11. @wind4me Hey, future intelligence is something I'm still trying to practice too! Keep it up.
  12. I like Dubai/California comparison: overbuilt, short on water, energy producer but has to import, wealth based on overvalued assets. $$
  13. @BMR789 I think I agree, but wondering how Singapore does if finance collapses globally, and SG only has shipping and trading left. $$
  14. @wind4me Dubai strikes me as the center of a much larger dysfunction. It's about the facade of fast global wealth generation.
  15. @wind4me I find greed a weak explanation. All humans seek resources, deal with limits. It's dysfunctional sure, but more than just greed.
  16. Gregor, do you see all city-states as weak as Dubai? How about Singapore, HK, Luxembourg? $$
  17. Dubai is about confluence of trends in real estate, electricity consumption, water shortage. Perfect example of 21st century challenges.
  18. Must read for any strategist, intelligence pro, advisor from @RetailProphet: Big change = Big Courage http://bit.ly/toEsP #intelcollab
  19. Jeff Beck + Stevie Wonder on Superstition= NASTY.
  20. Watching BB King and Stevie Wonder on the 25th Rock & Roll Hall of Fame show. Man, BB is still killin'.
