RBA too busy shredding documents to worry about the economy

Posted on October 1, 2013 by SCM

The commentary on Macro Business today has been particularly good.

Sydney and Melbourne house prices up by around 2.5% in the last month, but the RBA has elected to leave rates and isn’t pushing for any macro-prudential policies. Must be too busy shredding documents related to their involvement in deals with Saddam Hussein. Absolutely disgraceful.

Old people screwing the young

Old people stealing from the young

It doesn’t make much sense that young workers have to pay absurd amount of tax while receiving zero benefits from the federal government, just to fund these parasite millionaires living in inner city mansions, while we are drowned with the ever rising cost of rent. One has to wonder how much worse it will get with more of them and less of us.

Australia is speeding up, driving right into a brick wall

Posted on September 21, 2013 by SCM

I’m sceptical like many others about just how much RP Data’s daily house price index is to be trusted, but it’s not a stretch to say house prices aren’t falling anymore, likewise the stock market is at record heights and even the AUD is being bid up, potentially going to parity again after a double bottom.

The problem with all this, is the fact that Australia’s economy has been and still is sinking fast. And now Coles is moving in to sell mortgages – at the peak of the bubble . Doesn’t this sound totally absurd? To take this quote from Bullion Barron over at MacroBusiness

We seee you’ve been buying top quality food over the last few years, you must be a renter to afford that. Would you like to take out a mortgage and make a swap to two-minute noodles like the rest of our mortgaged clients?

The RBA has of course gone full-retard with rates – something I’ve written about earlier. Low interest rates only lead to speculation and malinvestments, they never achieve any net benefit. As house prices have risen, jobs have dwindled. In fact, in the last quarter, Australia has lost the most jobs in 13 years!

It seems like nobody in the RBA nor government (regardless of party) knows anything about how to run a functioning economy.

Youtube merged with Google+ aka Fuck You Google

Posted on August 23, 2013 by SCM

I don’t even know where to begin.

This morning I went to youtube to start my day with a bit of kpop, surprise surprise it automatically created a Google+ account for my youtube account/channel. Whatever I thought, the last time they did this shit (half a year ago or so), it was actually pretty straight forward to unlink them and delete the g+ account entirely. This time however there was no option or note about any of that – but I didn’t have time to mess with it, I had to go to work.

Now I come home in the evening, after work and 3 hours at the gym, eager to listen to some kpop – really dying to listen to some kpop. I open up youtube, and get an annoying “which account would you like to use?”. The youtube account I had up to this morning – which now had my very old youtube channel icon for some reason, or this new g+ linked one. I picked the old one.

All my playlists are gone, all my videos are gone, all my settings are gone, everything is gone. Well fuck, thanks Google. Being offered no choice, I switch accounts up the new google+ linked one (both accounts seem to have the same link somehow though). Playlists and videos are there but all my settings are gone, all layout options are gone, everything is default, which is really fucking annoying. Now the first thing I want to do is change my channel icon back to a certain Korean cutie pie.

But guess what? I have to log into my shiny new Google+ account that I didn’t ask for nor consented to the creation of to do this. Well great. I go on Google’s IRC to complain, and I find out that from now on you must also like videos with your Google+ account. Fantastic. I’ll be sure to ask my coworkers if I can have anal with my hypothetically hypothetical girlfriend as well – because apparently that’s how things should work, and privacy is not relevant either.

Even worse, now I can see things changing about my YouTube channel as I am using it, as though someone from Google has realised how much they fucked up and are desperately trying to fix their shit.

Update: I am slowly figuring out how to undo this clusterfuck.

My feedback as to why I’m unlinking Google+ From Youtube, for the third fucking time

Everything seems to be back to normal after unlinking the accounts.

PS. Good thing I don’t live in Nazi USA, otherwise I could probably reasonably expect the FBI to raid my apartment in the middle of the night just because.
