Thanks Ernest, you Opinion really Matters!

It is still on very thin ice and much has to happen before we have stability. The toxic assets still exist and many of the statistics that we hear are not what they might seem, one example being the percentage of those out of work. I have a hard time getting behind some of those in our federal government (sic treasury, federal reserve) so I am very concerned

There is no exception in Malaysia. Business is not moving despite several economic stimulus announced and being spent by our government. However, the stock market and property remains high, and not the real economic.

It appears to me that there is lack of serious effort to address the real issue. Hence, it created a "false" economic whereby the inflation will be on the rise, but not the wages. Hence, if it is not properly addressed, then there is create a social unrest.

Do not let this affect our lives greatly. Let us have faith in Him and He shall lead us day by day.

 

Suzanne, not positive view, but just sharing what happened here.

If this supports your architect’s  future thoughts and activities.:-)

 

Through the official data, in the period 1989-2009, Bulgaria developed , from socialism to the decentralized management of the State (more than 1 political party, in 4 years mandate, in the state government). And to the “market economy”.

In the period 1889- 1944, in Bulgaria, there was a market economy:-)

The territory of Bulgaria is only 111 000 sq.km.

Exists, as a State, from more than 13 centuries.

In the period 1989-2009 the population dropped, from nearly over 8 000 000,to around 6 000 000(25%), for 20 years (much more the number of the Bulgarian victims in the Second World War) .

From 2006- Bulgaria is a member of EU.

I’ll not mention here the official economic statistic data through the UN and the World Bank.

It is a reality, but for the half of the population.

For the other half- read the history of USA in the years 1920-1932 :-)

1992-1996-the inflation rates were more than 300%.

In 1998, currency changed, in ratio 1/1000, and till the moment- an IMF agreement.

In 1996- over 80% bank bankruptcy of the new created banks ( 1989-1997), scams, chain letters, scams in the construction and real estates.

The inflation rates, from 1998-2009, more than 120%.

The investment , project and construction economic branches was been privatized.

Many of the other economic branches was been privatized.

More of the economic branches did not exist today.

The Chambers, of the Architects and the Engineers, in the investment, construction and town planning  projects and fulfillment , had been created in 2003.

These professionals has been fired, without securities ( in the privatization process), from 1990-1996. The official silence about these professions 1989-2002=11 years.  (They are around 30% of other professions with high qualifications, in the official amnesia, for 20 years).

These professionals worked, on their expenditures, at excessively low payments, more than 13 years(20 years). Some quit and gave up.

I did not want to comment here more what happened 20 years.

The status is not O’K.

 

Let us say, that the existence is a changeability.

The healthy mind behavior is to accept this and to continue to sense what happens in the reality, and to generate decisions-from now on.

The Internet marketing may be is one of the ways.

But quite carefully, and on the feedback of the expenditures- in cash and time.

There are too many scams, and not too sincere presentations.

I found that this picture illustrated well my thoughts.:-)

 

Wish the Best to All of You !
