Global economic situation for liveaboard cruising yachties

Still bad news from USA, Courtesy of Casey's Daily Dispatch - - Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis released its second-quarter 2009 advance estimate of GDP, and the crowd went wild. - - - Here’s an excerpt from the BEA’s report:

Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States -- decreased at an annual rate of 1.0% in the second quarter of 2009, (that is, from the first quarter to the second), according to the "advance" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP decreased 6.4%.

… The decrease in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected negative contributions from nonresidential fixed investment, personal consumption expenditures (PCE), residential fixed investment, private inventory investment, and exports that were partly offset by positive contributions from federal government spending and state and local government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased…

… Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 10.9% in the second quarter, in contrast to a decrease of 4.3% in the first. National defense increased 13.3%, in contrast to a decrease of 5.1%. Nondefense increased 6.0%, in contrast to a decrease of 2.5%. Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 2.4%, in contrast to a decrease of 1.5%...

Nothing here to get wild about.....? nuckin futs....

Nothing beats a real dumb-arse for sheer stupidity - I sometimes feel USA has the patent rights - if the armed forces I have seen over here, on exercise around Shoalwater Bay are any indication????

Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 2.4%, in contrast to a decrease of 1.5%... from above seems like a lie - - Most of the states are BROKE so expenditure increased???? Dumb and Dumber?

Boston, I hope you can find something in this? http://financialsense.com/index.html

I heard that a guy in America that was going to give evidence in court against a Government corruption scam accidentally fell or jumped from a high storey window.

They decided that in future corruption discussions will be held on the first floor.

America seems to be worse that Thailand , Cambodia, Laos etc etc.

Ive just come back from shopping for some 12V solenoid valves. I noticed the big computer shop has gone --gone where frosty? dunno its shut.

And,-- ha ha I got thrown out of a big engineers shop, the girl said with stern face "we dont want to accommodate you" I think that they think I walk around a lot looking at prices then go some where else,-- but im not. Im looking to see what they have so I can build things on this tropical Island.

The Malays muslims are thieving little bastards and that could be another reason for not being allowed to look around.

I knew there was something wrong when the owner who has an Audi LS6 outside had his hands on his hips,--I love body language

And in any case whats wrong with shopping, the rots setting in.

Pre lube kit for my Yanmars 230 dollar,-- shipping UPS to Malaysia 227 dollars cough splutter Ok we will think of something else.

Is that business class UPS?

"for sheer stupidity - I sometimes feel USA has the patent rights - if the armed forces I have seen over here,.." - For this, and other things, I hate the fact that you breath.

Are you American mark? is that why you use homer as an address.

Being ashamed of your country?

This guy isn't a poet and can't tell a tale. He is a cartoon.

This guy didn't write the Epic of Gilgamesh (A guy named Mr. Pennock had the same moniker and later etched it in history). He is of stone and his oral traditions had to be written.

Pretty, like Thailand...but without the squalor and Europeans with twelve-year-olds on the back of their scooters.
Places with the name, Homer, other than in the USA, I'd be curious to learn about.

Michelle (Esther) Obama and her beatch, Barack (look at those arms!)
I couldn't be more proud of my country, particularly, now that we are mostly standing up to the Jefferson's... or should I say Sanfords? Now that Barack is giving inner city potential voters with junk cars $4,500 to buy Japanese cars they can't afford, I half expect to see Redd Foxx dealing the old 'uns at what's left of the White House.

Can't handle the plain truth? is that another attribute or is that copyright? - - I think a hungry fish - and I did not even have a hook out???

[Frosty]

mark --Homer is a name, your address is where you live?

So in the corner on the right should be your address (what grown ups call location!!) but you got your name Mark in the right place.

Ive had a 9 year old on the back of my scooter, it was the next door neighbors little girl that I pick up from school for them some days. She calls me granpa.

Is that what you meant? careful what you think you see.

Homer Is A Place Name, You Dumbass! No, it's not what I meant.

I didn't draw the cartoon, carve the statue, or photograph Homer in January. The words are mine (or yours - did you forget what you wrote, dumbass dos?). Just Google Homer or Sanford and Son Images and you'll get these amongst others. And quit pretending that you are playing me every time I respond to ******** - You couldn't make JV.
