Spanish Miners Strike Turns Violent
« on: June 12, 2012, 12:43:32 PM »


For those that can't watch the video:

During a strike, Spanish miners began Burning tires, shooting large bottle rockets, throwing cherry bombs, and using slingshots against police.

So Greece is going to get out of the EU.

Spain just got a bailout.

Italy is right around the corner with Ireland and Portugal around the corner. How is France doing????

The German citizens do not want to give "bailout $$$."

So what happens when the EU collapses? How does that affect the US? Keep in mind that Timmy at the beginning of this year traded dollar$ direct across for ?'s. It was kind of a back door Monetary Easing.

Spanish labor has never been the one to sit and quietly protest unfairness historically. See the Spanish Civil War. Just saying....  :D

LOLZ, I love the homemade RPGs, but I wonder its usefulness, probably it won't do anything against a riot gear equipped police.

No one knows, not even professional economists, but I'm sure we will be in a world of shit.

What if the EU collapses? Didn't Europe run okay before then? Think the whole collapse scenario is over-hyped, as with most things these days. But that's just my non-expert opinion.

I agree with your comments Crudos with one exception. Over the past 8-12 years the US has gotten more and more involved in the EU. I hope that Bill, George and Barry didn't allow us to get to involved where if the EU collapsed we will follow.

If I remember correctly: It was a global depression in 1929 not just a US one. I think once the house of cards started to fall...well...it fell everywhere (Global).

The colllapse of 1929 led to Fascism and a renewed fever for communism in Russia across the globe.

World is globalized now, there aren't anymore crisis just for one country.

Recession in one country will impact all the rest of the world, especially when the big guys are involved, like US or the European union.
Your housing bubble in 2007 fucked us up all around the world, the euro crashing will do the same, probably even worse.

All the economies are intertwined and when something happens you get a domino effect, I'm not an economist and this is long to explain, but basically:

1 - Markets are global, companies are multinationals, and trusts fells in all the stocks generating even more trust issues.
2 - If a country is in crisis will import less goods and services, that implies other countries won't be able to sell all their production.
3 - All the countries own titles and bonds of other countries, if those countries default, what you have is just a bunch of papers.
4 - If the Euro crumbles isn't going to be only an economical crisis but a political crisis too.

Regarding a European shutdown one should consider for a fictitious example Mayberry U.S.A. has a motor control board burn out on there top of the line "al gore green sewage pumping station". Normally not a problem as Fed ex can deliver that one pound system critical package from Seimens http://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/automation/en/pages/automation-technology.aspx
in just 24 hours.....     

Uh-oh  that's a new product line not available from Seimens U.S.A. yet,  gonna have to get that from Germany...
