I dont like it, almost identical economic problems as per 2008 insolvent banks (Germany, France , Greece, Spain and Italy) economies weak or in recession or stagnating (Germany's biggest bank is in deep trouble and its also facing $14 billion of fines from US regulators), rising youth unemployment, Civil unrest, Anti establishment protest growing ( AfD, UKIP, Front Nationale, Trump etc) now with the added issue of millions of African and Middle Eastern migrants pouring into Europe ( Sweden once well funded pension and welfare system is now empty) with TENS of millions more waiting to come according to the Hungarian government ( the only govt being open about events). In the US they watch south as dying Venezuela damages and destabilises its neighbours which is starting to cause a mass migration towards the Rio Grande. But unlike 2008 no words of support or reassurance and advice from European and American governments, No quantative easing, no banking bail outs, NOTHING< NADA< ZIP< ZERO coming from the WTO, EU, ECB, FED, B of E etc
The silence is deafening, but what we do hear is that the rich, famous, powerful, political elites etc are according to assorted global media outlets are building Iceberg homes, gated communities, rural retreats, urban redoubts, private islands, estates in empty parts of the US, Canada, Bavaria, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand. I preferred it in 2008 when we knew what the *******s were up to, now they appears to be squirreling stuff away as quick as they can.
