The Great Gray Bath
Jack, collection : 1992-2017
Shorts When oil drove USA into troubles, in Europe corpus habeas was EU. Common to both is that cars are visible signs from the troubles.  

During 1990's European cars got smaller and older. Classifications remained the same. Due to the decreased demand, many car manufactures dropped executive and large family cars from the production.

Ford gave up from Mxx-Granada-Scorpio, Opel-Vauxhall from Record-Omega, Admiral-Diplomat-Senator models. Swedes gave up from car manufacturing. Both Saab and Volvo ceased to exist as independent makes.

- - How the bathtub was loaded with gray liquid - -

Up till 1990's West Germany was the wealthiest EU country. It was the primary trade partner to most European countries. In the late 1980's you hardly ever saw an old car in bigger West-German city. Nowadays former West-Germans drives with similar kind of junks than the others.

First tap for the great gray bath was opened in 1989. In 1989 West and East Germany united, few years before Soviet revolution. The union was hastily made and poorly planned. It drove Germany into financial difficulties. Due to Germany's importance, these difficulties spread to all over Europe.

Then came Soviet revolution. Soviets made business with West-Europe, until the revolution. The 2nd revolution started with rather deep dive to recession. The Russian recession boosted West Europe's difficulties.

Without EU's interference the recession and related problems would've been temporal by their nature.

In 1990's EU started to fight against inflation. All EU members had to keep their yearly inflation below 2-4%. This sounds cool and clever in talks, but in real life fight against inflation is a fight against financial growth. Fight for the growth in somewhere else ... like some things in your body.

Inflation comes from the hike in prices of commonly used goods. Like for example cost of food, living and gas. When you go farther from this, you notice that inflation has a direct connection to the wages, which are paid to employees. Over 50% from the money, which causes inflation is domestic. The value of imported goods goes to foreigners. The value of foreign money varies. The domestic-foreign value is dependent on origin of used transport, who gets the money from transport.

Due this direct connection, fight against inflation prevents financial growth, improvements in welfare, hikes in wages, etc.

EU is not going to get easy with it's fight against inflation ... this connection was already mostly discovered, when EU started to campaign against inflation. Heard first time from this connection in 1987, formed it into easier form app 15 years later. Economists / advisors must or at least should've been familiar with the connection, when the campaign was launched.

In 2008-2009 most troubled EU countries were Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. All five countries were using Euro. Two biggest, Italy and Spain, had midget-media mogul as prime minister. Midgets are usually most interested in dramatic sensational head lines : common misery is better than common good. With media power, good media relations it is easy hide your actual goals with bullshit. 2017 future pack is a very big positive sensation.  And as usual, midgets and their co-operatives did everything in their power to hinder and prevent the releases and implementations. The same happened in 2010 to the R&D power solutions, Deca Tech and others.

During 1st year, the power change in USA, US Democrats total loss, and the Future pack 2017 resulted into over 60% growth in stock markets. It is the biggest yearly growth after 1990's. Before elections US Democrats, co-ops and midgets in all over the world campaigned by saying that US Democrats loss will lead world economies into long term recession. These claims were very heavily oriented in the attempts to prevent Boys on-line comeback and release of Future Pack 2017. After a year stock markets started to bounce with Future Pack 2017 related expectations. Conversion from theory to practice was delayed.

- - Triangle - -

Inflation has also another direct connection. Inflation has a connection to interest rates. In healthy economy interest rates must be somewhere near the inflation. If interest rates are smaller than inflation, the capital / national wealth loses it's value. Besides losses, loose capital starts to float into another countries.

When economy grows quickly, the inflation should be slightly below the growth. If inflation is bigger than growth, your economy is being exhausted. If economy grows 10%, the healthy inflation rate is 9-10%.

Inflation-interest-growth connection is a triangle, they work together. Change in one affects to two other. 

When your power keepers fight for economical growth, by dropping  interest rates to zero or less, you can very sure, that this is a fight for something else than you were told.

? The triangle makes it impossible to use huge national, domestic euro-debt as an excuse for the low interests. When you raise the interests, it results to bigger growth and inflation. The share of national debt from GDP follows the interests.

After power keepers, midgets ... FiFa, sports-people in general ... have ruined your national wealth, there aren't any wormholes. Shortcuts, with what you can get the old, lost welfare levels back. 

- The slow way back, to the golden days, is the creation of new profitable jobs to the private sector. Possibly assisted with public investments. A wealthy country, with high average incomes, needs new products for creating the required jobs to the private sector. Poorer country can concentrate on catch-up. Raise citizens wealth / welfare, by manufacturing products, which are common in wealthier countries. Construct bigger, better equipped houses, which meets the western standards, etc.

- If your nation has lost jobs to developing countries, it is difficult to get them back. Production in developing country is so much cheaper. Wages and other costs are lower. If you manage to get lost jobs back, wages are rather low. Jobs you can get back, must pay well in developing country, have high production costs.

- With tolls you can protect competitive domestic production. When you set higher tolls to for example car import, it makes the prices of domestic cars more attractive to customers. Without competitive production, tolls are a way to restrict import and collect money for government.

- When you struggle with negative trade balance, oil import is usually one of the biggest causes for it. Oil from grain gives you a chance to balance foreign trade. Negative trade balance increases national debt. In western countries healthy trade balance bounces periodically from positive to negative. Fast growing country can have long term positive periods. At some point higher wages, higher welfare level makes your products less competitive against others. Sometimes other countries start to restrict your export oriented growth, with high tolls and demands for getting into your domestic markets. Japanese car factories in USA and Europe are a result from the resistance of the other countries. Think that the production transfers were result / response to very high tolls or threats from the penalty tolls. If I don't remember wrong, US-Euro politics never asked the transfers.

- In most countries value of domestic consumption is bigger than the value of exported goods & services : Import price of a sold product is often below 50% from the retail price. When so, over 50% from the paid price is left to the people in your own country. Then construction and food production are usually in the hands of domestic companies. Public or business oriented healthcare and education belong to bigger domestic services / consumption.

Triangle is only an operating principle, not a fully automated system. 
Nothing prevents you from making a huge mess with it.


Deadlock Directives

Jack. Where did you get 50% downgrade in car sales ... for the late millennium ?
From car manufacturers revenues. The fall began in 2006, in 2008 revenues had fallen app. 50%. The fall drove car manufacturers into deep troubles, big layoffs and close downs of factories. In USA GM went to bankruptcy, Ford near to it's end. Unit sales didn't fall as much as revenues / incomes. Customer companies and people started to buy cheaper cars. 

Source for 50% fall in computer sales is the same : IT companies verified result sheets.

Can you cancel old Deadlock Directives ?
They are usually written so, that only a powerful spokesman for Walk Corp. can cancel them. Walk Corp and spokesman ceased to exist in the spring 2009.

Those computer and car purchase bans for example were entitled as essential cost cuts. Not that easy for you to go to the biggest companies in the world, urge them to buy more and more expensive cars.

Quite sure that most gets nervous already in the first lobby. How about you. Can you, as a retired spokesman, cancel old Deadlock Directives ?
I can try, but I cannot give any guarantees. 

The purchase bans and cost savings, you asked about, are difficult. You got get all companies to your cancellation, if you get only half or less, the cancellation fails. The part, which doesn't take part to the cancellation, gets so much advantage, that those who committed themselves to the cancellation, must give up from it within a year or two.

You promised to cancel them for a favor.
It was before his brain damage and retirement in 2010.
Instead of the requested favor. Got the brain damage, two months behind bars.

The car purchase ban has it's roots in your stolen, sold and purchased graduation work. From where did that computer ban come ?
Don't remember well. Probably from widely ignored and despised deca-tech. Then my software libraries from 1990's were demolished almost completely.

Corrupted person. Uses his powers for personal vendetta. You should be ashamed.
If you say so. Nobody's perfect. Have done quite a many things in my life, which doesn't look nice in the daylight ... Luckily I have you. Always so kind and nice.
Okay. The roots must be settled before you are willing to cancel the bans ?
It would be nice if you did so. It would make the cancellation easier.

Why did you brought such negative things about yourself into daylight ?
Saw and read the directives, when I iterated trashes from the Halloween Hacks and others. Didn't remember that such bans existed. Not very likely that car manufacturers could gain much without cancellation of the old directives. So I had to bring the ban up. Car manufacturing is important business for USA, Japan and Germany. They all have been trying to boost car sales with poor results.

Car sales started to fall after 2014 Halloween Hacks.
So it seems. Amongst many other things.

By the way. Is for example Japanese car factory as good for your economies as domestic factory ?
Car factory is an assembly line. Parts, from which the car is assembled come from sub-contractors. If most from the major sub-contractors are in the same country, the factor is as good as domestic factory. My Van is assembled in Canada, but engine, parts for body and chassis are from USA. Factory and assembly job are almost the only things Canadians got from my Van.

Computers are assembled from parts, which come from independent sub contractors. Almost all sub contractors deliver parts for more than one computer manufacturer. In car manufacturing such is limited to some parts. Borg-Warner for example built automatic gearboxes, sold the boxes to various car makers. ZF was well known manual gearbox and rod-pinion manufacturer. Solex and Weber built carburetors for all car manufacturers. Bosch builds fuel injection systems for various car makers.

Car manufactures owns part of the subcontractors. Most car manufacturers and all big manufacturers have at least an engine division. It develops and manufactures engines. Most new engines get the pistons from an independent sub-contractor. Car manufacturing system is quite a mess. From the minor parts you find busloads of independent, pendent and owned sub-contractors.

Car factories are the most wanted businesses in the world.
Car is the biggest and most expensive thing, you can export and transport from one place to another. Get jobs and currencies to your country.
A single cruise or cargo ship would be more expensive. But cars beat ships with volumes. Car manufacturer's yearly incomes are much more bigger than shipyard's.
And same goes to planes.
Truck like Space Lifts can challenge cars in the future. You need awful many Space Lifts and Space Cargo ships for carrying grain from Space Green houses. Delivering modules and parts for new ones.

Space Cargo ships ?
You got to transport grain from Green Houses to storage, and do the final drop with Space Lift. Space Cargo Ship can be much more bigger than Space Lift. Then it doesn't need gas tanks. Space Lift which can carry as big payloads as trucks and cargo planes, needs rather big gas tanks. Cannot extend their size endlessly.
With hydrogen you could reduce the size of the gas tanks ?
Difference between Helium and Hydrogen is big on paper. When you calculate required sizes for the tanks, the difference is surprisingly small. Not worth the risk. Hydrogen would increase safety demands and construction costs quite a lot. Price per cubic meter / feet would be bigger with hydrogen.
German air ships were sensitive to winds, Lifts are not ?
Lift moves in upright direction. It doesn't spend awful long times in windy air. They will get a new aerodynamics. You can make the aerodynamics so, that it is not as sensitive to winds as air ships were. The cargo shipments are not time sensitive. If weather is bad, you don't have to go, because the lobby is full of annoyed, angry customers.

In where you need pressure adjustment ?
The tanks are made from the same fabric than weather balloons. If you cannot adjust the pressure, the temperature changes will explode the tanks. Then you need adjustment for different payloads. When you come back to earth, you must empty the tanks from helium and fill them with common air. For the return trip you got to compress the helium into strong steel tanks with rather high pressure. Otherwise the ship will not come down. The engines are not big enough for pushing an empty ship to the ground. When you carry grain from space, you need tanks for slowing the drop to the earth.

The pressure adjustment system is the only tricky thing in the lift. When you build the tank from smaller helium cells, the lift is safer. With cells you can adjust the lift ( the size of the active gas tank ), so that it matches to the current payload. You fill only as many cells with helium, as it is needed for carrying the payload and ship. The rest are left unused, filled with common air.

It is also possible to use lifts for earthly transport.
You can use lifts for cheap intercontinental cargo shipments. You raise high into air, wait till earth rotates to the right place. For a delivery from China to Europe / USA You travel 400 km / 300 miles in upright direction, with marginal fuel costs. Cargo Lift would fall in between ships and planes  The price is near ships, speed near planes. Suits well for transporting small, cheap things. Electrical components, mail, bolts, nuts, smaller spare parts and so on. You could use the cargo lift with things, which are too big and cheap for planes.

You talk about space like it was nothing special ?
Space air in at least solar system is nothing special. Earth's movement around sun and gravity drags space air into atmosphere all the time. Not possible that it would be very different from the air we breath. It misses oxygen, carbon dioxide and few other things, because there isn't any life in space. Pressure makes deep diving more difficult than space exploration. In space pressure is low, equal in everywhere. Not a big challenge.

You think that all star systems are like ours ?
Not possible to say. Possible that they are built over different elements than ours. Star cannot shine without heat or fire, all star systems have something that burns and creates heat. Not necessarily oxygen. With oxygen you can burn hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and other things.

You think the space planes will work ?
Do not see any reason, why they wouldn't work. Gravity field around earth is not very big. It weakens with distance. Jets can already climb over the strongest and most difficult part from the gravity field. Space planes are faster and safer than lifts. When the straight upright raise was taken to use, hardly anything was known from gravity, upper atmosphere and space. Spiral winged raise is much more economical than upright raise without wings.

Great recession of 1930's began from the fall of stock markets, why was it ?
Usually falling stock markets are a visible result from the falling, troubled economies. Stock capital and share prices are connected to the company and macro finances via dividends. Dividend is the money, share owner gets from the share every year. It is an interest you get for the share you have purchased. 

With common shares, dividends are compared to interests, you get with other methods. The dividend can get a small boost from the growth expectations. Dividend is dependent on revenues and profits company makes. This is true also for fast growing company and risk investments. In fast growing company, the share price follows the expected future dividends. This is the law, stock prices follow. When stock markets make "illegal" investments to stocks, by the time prices fall / raise back to legal range.

In the past companies, which followed midgets and other outsiders, had a habit of maximizing profits and tax payments. When the announced profits exceeded the amount of money your company  had actually made during the year, the dividends were used for "balancing" the reality with big headlines. Not possible for a company to slip from taxes, which are also calculated from profits. 

When stock markets fall, the wealth and money vanishes. Much like your car loses value, when it gets older and more mileage. It boosts recessions. Although the bank notes remains, the wealth and work behind the money vanishes. The bank notes without use and guaranties boosts inflation, fall converts them into fake money.

Usually the falls are unavoidable corrections to the overvalued stock prices. When you give up from the major owning in big, wealthy company, it raises general interest to the share. Share price raises temporarily to higher level. After your shares have found new owners, overvalued price falls back into old levels. New fast growing businesses are the another common thing, which raises stock values temporarily to sky high levels. After the fast growing period ends, from a reason or another, business sector's stocks dives deeply. There was a time when Microsoft's market value was 10 times bigger than the 2nd best's value. Nowadays Microsoft has difficulties with it's Top 20 position.

When you overload markets with fake money and debts, it does not necessarily lead to hyperinflation. If you for example rally reluctant, insecure, financially exhausted people to take loans ... with negative interests and other tricks ... there is a danger that your push goes into stock markets. Surplus of money raises stock values. At some point, when you for example give up from the push, system collapses and markets come down like a rock. Banks and investors, to whom you gave the money and debts, falls into deep troubles. Although the fall will launch a widespread, deep recession, the fall is a result from the activities in elsewhere.

Does this mean, that if the stocks have already risen, there is not much more to do, than wait for the Manic Monday, the day when old Dixie dies ?
Depends on how much your markets have risen. Low, negative interests make the debt-based investments into stocks attractive. More profitable than investments with your own, owned money. When you force your banks and others to take money, and their customers will not lend it, most from your push ends into stock markets.
Can you give an example country ?
No I can't. It is only an example from the big falls in stock markets. I do not follow finances anymore.

Did you notice, that Californians drought began at the same time US democrats won the houses.
Not before your notification. Did notice, that the drought began, when Space City project was dumped with FiFa 2006 in France.

Was there anything else ?
2017 tornado season in USA was an average. Looks like that Atlantic Hurricane season is going to be quiet. So far ( the middle of August 2017 ) there hasn't been a single Atlantic hurricane. In 2017 North Pole's ice cap has melted from the Asian side. Europe's side is rather near long term average. There is one almost open stream in the ice cap, it leads water directly from Atlantic to Pacific. Shows well in the new graphics. Talked about it few years ago. Atlantic water flows over the pole. Didn't know, that it would stop to Bering sound and open the ice cap from Asian-Alaskan side.

Europe will be cooler than before.
Obviously. At least the north Europe. Signs from the effect are rather clear.
You said that west Europe will also get colder.
When pole melts, the theoretical center point of the float moves to west. Estimated, that this can change Golf current's route to north pole. Move it farther from the continent. If so, water at the coastline gets colder. If Golf goes very far, it is quite likely, that there will be a cold return current in between Golf and west-Europe. Possible that I was wrong.

What about the hot layer in atmosphere.
Possible that there is a hole in it. A hole would explain the cold sectors, we have seen during recent winters.

The Spring 2017 researches / collections can be released and used freely, as long as I am credited properly with the data. Just like all the other great scientists. During the time I locked and forbid the usage I was held as captive.
