India Suffers from Inflation and its not going Down Anytime soon

India is currently suffering from inflation back in Jan. inflation reached from 8.23% to 9.35% later it went back down to 8.23% and as economists began to get exited that it was going back down it went back up to 8.9% it  according to the International Monetary Fund it does not look like it will go down again but on the contrary it will go back up.  Such inflation will only be hurt those small businesses,  it sad how India has finally started to come up in the economy side and going up.  I just hope that whatever economic boosts the government decides to grant the money does disappear by the the scamming political parties and leaders that exists.

Full Veil Band for Everyone

After years of argument and debate in Europe on full face veil was banned in France,  causing so much controversial with the Muslim community for those complete devout women who are accustomed to wearing the full veil or niqab. The law is not specific to just Muslims with niqab but to all full face covering  in public places. Many people believe that this is just another way for the government to discriminate against a religion that seems extreme.  To me it seems perhaps a bit discriminating but still safe, many extreme groups have benefited from this religion's custom to hurt others.  Being able to see the face of the person next to you on the bus or train to make sure they are not some extremist ready to hurt other for their crazy cause. 

Japan's Disaster Boosting the Economy

So history has actually proven that every time Japan has had a major disaster recovery has boosted their economy, and according to the World Banks this time wont be any different.  Especially since this disaster has caused a triple disaster, earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster. It's almost like a stimulus package, as depressing as it seems it is amazing how something like this actually helps. To me Worlds Banks are just way to exited with the thought how once again Japan is going to depend on outside help.  And every country that has sent relief is just waiting in line for those big contracts to come, so ya I stand by my belief nobody anymore does anything "good" or "helps" without expecting something in return especially when you are the bigger winner.

China's Perfect Economy Not so Perfect

With China as the second largest Economy in the world the pressure is really starting to catch up in their own backyard. With inflation reaching up to 4.9%, the Chinese government is struggling  to keep it under control, the public is really starting to feel the pressure as food prices go up by 11%. How will China stay on the top without there being such painful consequences? China is going to have to forget about the worlds Economy and branching out for a while. After resenting and making fun of the US for trying to fix the world's economy China is starting to fall in the same pattern lets just hope they don't end up in the same black hole.

Egypt's Economy is Run by it's Military

So with the new changes that Egypt is trying to implement it's main source of Economy might be the hardest after kicking out their President-Dictator.  In The New York Times we got a broader picture of what type of economy Egypt has, all ran by the military were they have divisions that "make television sets, jeeps, washing machines, wooden furniture and olive oil, as well as bottled water (...) named after a general's daughter, Safi."
Some scholars believe that if change is to really happen in Egypt military based business's have got to go in order to obtain a Free- Market Economic Reform, well the military is sure not hiding how displeased they are with this idea, and are showing they will do anything to keep their business interests in check.  They showed this by accusing of corruption two advocates of economic openness Youssef Boustros-ghali and Rachid Mohamed.  This really makes me wonder who was really pulling the strings when Mubarak was "running things"and if the military continues to interfere there wont be much change happening, i wont take any credit from the military that the this "revolution" has yet to get completely out of had but they have as much to lose as did Mubarak. So I wonder when will military's true intentions will come out and how far will they go to protect their interests?

Media's Impact in Modest Clothes in Baghdad

In Baghdad there is a store that sell's the "proper" clothes for women, but as a display the owner of the shop put a few female mannequins with blond hair and bright colored scarfs covering their heads loosely, the clothes were very moderate by western standards. This whole displays come with a message “Whoever fills his eyes with the forbidden, on judgment day God will fill them with fire.” At first when I started reading this I thought it was an extreme way to send out a message of a families man frustration with today's media.  But of course it does not have anything to do with true values, all I got from this was how weak men can truly be this whole demonstration was because with women not being forced to wear the veil. All they are worried about is women wearing clothes that will inflame men’s imaginations. Instead of worrying for themselves and how they can do things themselves they want everything the easy way.  which unfortunately we cant close the media so my only thing to them is Suck it Up, and get your heads out of the Gutter. 

Cubans Working for Themselves HOW

So the Cuban government has finally realised that controlling everything really leaves no margin for profit. with the Soviet Union crashing in the 90's Fidel Castro had no choice to grudgingly open the privet sector of business BUT with regulations and impossible taxes and a limited and I mean LIMITED amount of licenses.  Now his brother Raul Castro has opened the  doors for more people to obtain licenses for local small business,  I agree its a great idea it gives the people with a feeling of independence, freedom and accomplishment... wait for it here it comes... the BUT according to Pedro Jose Chavez "It's absurd that they will give you a license to work but they wont give you access to materials"  Cuba's biggest issue right know is the lack of materials many licensed restaurants have to cook with materials stolen from other businesses.  The idea is great to open the private sector of business but as long as Cuba continues to seclude itself from the rest of the world not much is going to be produces.

Facebook in Germany More troubel than its Worth?

In the New York Times it turns out that Facebook is the third US social network to be in Germany but it seems that Germany's privacy laws are a bit to much for Facebook, you know how every time your friend joins a new social network you automatically get constant emails asking you to join. Well the Germans really don't like that and have complained to the "authorities" and know Facebook has to remove that extra feature and actually hold to true to the privacy rules, if they fail to do so the fine is €300,000, or $410,000 per day!!! I wish those rules would apply here as well. Facebooks privacy promises never worked and continue to fail,  perhaps this way they will try harder to keep their promises if actual money loss is involved

FUTURE REALESTATE

I just Read how the Swiss have gotten so desperate by the recession that it was decided to Lease old military bunkers.  Bunkers that were original built to defend Switzerland from invading army’s high in the Alps.  It has served a great purpose in the past to defend the Swiss but today to keep one open the costs are to great and to close one its more, approximately $1 billion dollars because of environmental regulations millions more than to keep it open.  So what is the next step LEASE it to the highest bidder.  Who wouldn’t want a giant hard to break into bunker that claims could survive a nuclear strike and gas attack would be impossible.

Update China's President and the US President Break Bread

Ok so far President Obama and President Hu Jintao have recognized each other as great world leaders.  They both agree that there is much to do to work on US- China Relations economically and military wise, and that’s it.  Everyone has been walking on their tip toes and holding their breaths for what.  NOTHING,  nothing has been agreed nothing has been established just meaningless semantics, state dinners, concerts, ceremonies.  Sure it’s a very delicate process but really if two very powerful world leaders go to so much trouble it be nice to have something happen. 

The Real Problem With China by david Leonhardt

In the New York Times the article "The Real Problem With China" is the perfect title with China's President coming to the US issues like the currency rate is not the main problem. With China being stingy of what is sold in the stores by only Chinese made, produced and even thought of in China.  I'm not completely convince that the Obama Administrations is going to have much of a success with convincing President Hu Jintao that it is in his best interest to change when his country has benefited greatly their lack of interest of other than Chinese made products.
