Throw sticks and stones to break his bones...
After having been to England this November, I decided to do some research as to WHY everything was and is so dang expensive over there. And then the thought occurred to me...
In the years of my adolescence, I traveled a few times to Chile and Ecuador. I was always dumbstruck by how cheap things were. Food, articles of anything (so long as they weren't pop-culture American brand nonsense), to land, and tampons. Yuh-huh. And I always came back to the same conclusion: Said countries were poorer than their American counterpart. And the main culprit, that tortured and pulled such societies to the depths of despair? Government. Of course. And so I wonder why the reverse is true, with England and the rest of Europe to compare. (Oh who am I kidding, the REST OF THE DAMN WORLD. Even Chile is doing phenomenal.) Well, in doing some research I read many long (and boring) explanations. Rather then paste and copy anything here, I invite you to go here. It sums it all up in the most basic and mundane level. And before you go off, understand that yes I DO HATE THE MAN. And I just seem to keep finding reasons. But in all honesty, I somehow managed to give the bastard some warped benefit of the doubt. Because I assumed the result of these effects had to be more than the resulting actions of one dip shit and his posse. But go figure... it was. previous : next * - 2007-07-05 --------------------- - 2006-05-30 hello, goodbye - 2006-05-24 Pinky burglar - 2006-03-09 So let's go... - 2006-02-24 |
