Bitter , paranoid . ! !! That ' s how it comes across , I ' m afraid . And given how often I find your comments downvoted below threshold , I don ' t think I ' m the only person who thinks that . I ' m honestly not trying to be rude , or dismissive what would be the point , given it ' s just you and me chewing the fat at this stage , and I ' m posting longish explicatory posts which being dismissive would avoid ! But you can be pretty much relied on to post responses to many things which can be boiled down to it ' s all a crock of shit , they ' re all corrupt , people are profiting at our expense , we ' re the real victims here , we should stand up for ourselves , we could if only our politicians weren ' t a corrupt crock of shit profiting at our expense . Which , I think you have to admit , does rather come across as bitter and paranoid . I don ' t get the Iceland example and think it ' s more coincidence as it should mirror adjacent economies . Why would a domestic credit and bank lending bubble in Iceland mirror adjacent economies ? And if it did , why wouldn ' t our economy just be mirroring the adjacent economies of the US and UK ?
