I suspect there's also no long- or short-term opportunity for a meaningful relationship with the "gorgeous women [in those photos] exposing their legs" either, Bill - as least for you. ;-p

#3  Now that Fred has his new toy, can we get back to the really important stuff?

You know the "why we fight" posters and such.

Okay, nimrods, I am talking about pictures of gorgeous women exposing their legs...

Enough with the new server, its a box on the floor that flashes, whizzes and purrs...there is no long term opportunities for a meaningful relationship with a box full of microprocessors, disk drives and magic potions.

#1  Re: the ghost city in China.

Basically, the local CP bigwigs dream up these projects then force the banks to lend to them.

The developer, contractors all make money and the CP types take a cut all the way down the line.

All funded by the Chinese saver.

The banks pay way under the inflation rate to savings accounts, which means people try and put their savings into tangible assets. Often buying into these kinds of development projects.

Thus reinforcing the cycle.

It will of course end very badly, the question is when?
