Owsblog...: Owning outstanding...
http://owsblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/owning-outstanding.html
Friday, August 07, 2015. Outstanding as in not yet paid! Interesting visualization of then nearly USD 60 T-T-Trillion world debt by country (note: the data comes from the IMF and only covers public government debt i.e. this excludes the debt of citizens, businesses and unfunded liabilities). It is also colour coded by region. As usual click to enlarge or see it courtesy of Visual Capitalist. It goes with a previous image of the World Economy. I've made excuses before and been busy before. :-(.

http://owsblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/osorios-overstatement.html
Saturday, August 08, 2015. Osorio's overstatement; OLP overkill. Basically bankrupt [ Link. Edited am 090815] Venezuelan 'Minister for Food' (really?

Also, looting in increasing. When the people in the lines get exacerbated. But the government would rather try to shoot the messenger. The OLP have been busy. The People's Liberation and ...

Owsblog...: Orinoco opportunity...
http://owsblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/orinoco-opportunity.html
Thursday, May 28, 2015. What a state of affairs: toilet paper. So scarce and expensive you could use use money to wipe your arse? Not quite, as Tim Worstall. Explains; however - and more interestingly - he also mentions how making money (i.e. the act of making money) loses money, or that you can make money (make a profit) by selling paper money and buying coins. It certainly isn't the first time either of those things has happened but it could be happening now in Venezuela, hypothetically.

http://owsblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/overblown-outlook.html
Friday, March 16, 2012. Earlier this month Matt Ridley posted a withering article. About " The beginning of the end of wind. He writes - not for the first time - about the various negative points of wind energy and the turbine mania that has seized many governments. He highlights the fact that to " the nearest whole number, the percentage of the world’s energy that comes from wind turbines today is: zero. Act now or face costly consequences. As a " monument to the folly of mankind. I have a better idea, ...

Owsblog...: Only one outlier...
http://owsblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/only-one-outlier.html
Saturday, May 23, 2015. Interesting stuff: How Britain voted on May 7th – the Ipsos MORI guide. Click image to enlarge but better to see it HERE. Unless you're eagle-eyed). Not much we didn't already know/ suspect; personally I find it odd that 65% of BME still voted Labour although this is lower than in 2010. When they got 68% (and this was down from much higher historical levels: see conclusions in Runnymede Trust PDF. Yes, I know the Coalition did nothing to reverse it]. Could the EU IN/OUT polls.
