That kind of growth is the whole point of a fiat currency, wealth can be created without restraint by the availability of some heavy metal.

| schestowitz | One of his fellow MS boosters, drpizza (Peter from Ars Technica), was pushing the same line yesterday. It seems like a common MS PR strategy. Florian defended in front of me the practice of serving as a mouthpiece to a company's PR department (IBM in that case), so I assume he's a front to Microsoft. They pay him. | Feb 01 17:35 |

| schestowitz | qu1j0t3: maybe | Feb 01 17:39 |
| schestowitz | I used to have a similar job but I had to come into the office | Feb 01 17:40 |
| schestowitz | Maybe go to Asia (like I wanted in 2009) | Feb 01 17:40 |
| schestowitz | (I had already researched that last month). Putting aside my tendency to leap ahead and be so presumptuous :-), I need to go and check for myself what it's like | Feb 01 17:40 |
| schestowitz | can't move without getting a first-hand taste of it first | Feb 01 17:41 |

| qu1j0t3 | she does | Feb 01 18:09 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's medium term plan | Feb 01 18:09 |
| schestowitz | and another question (f you don't mind), what about the east (Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, other leading nations, maybe SKorea)? | Feb 01 18:09 |
| qu1j0t3 | no | Feb 01 18:09 |
| schestowitz | qu1j0t3: ah, good | Feb 01 18:09 |

| schestowitz | why is Glenn there? | Feb 01 18:09 |
| qu1j0t3 | women decide these things!! :) | Feb 01 18:09 |
| schestowitz | They could more easily assassinate him | Feb 01 18:09 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: maybe... | Feb 01 18:09 |
| schestowitz | Remember how former Nazis got hijacked and scooped from there (legalised abuductions) | Feb 01 18:10 |
| qu1j0t3 | hm did they? | Feb 01 18:10 |
| schestowitz | yeah | Feb 01 18:10 |
| qu1j0t3 | i thought they were tacitly ignored, like all the ex-nazis who entered US defence | Feb 01 18:10 |
| schestowitz | it's not well publicised | Feb 01 18:10 |
| qu1j0t3 | "defence" !! | Feb 01 18:10 |
| schestowitz | not in the West anyway | Feb 01 18:10 |

| schestowitz | war crime allegations | Feb 01 18:10 |

| schestowitz | why is glenn there, do you know? | Feb 01 18:10 |
| qu1j0t3 | not exactly no | Feb 01 18:11 |
| schestowitz | it's odd when RT interviews him from Rio.. | Feb 01 18:11 |
| qu1j0t3 | i assume quality of life is a big reason | Feb 01 18:11 |
| qu1j0t3 | i think it helps him be independent | Feb 01 18:11 |
| schestowitz | quality of life or quality of society? | Feb 01 18:11 |
| qu1j0t3 | both | Feb 01 18:11 |
| schestowitz | I see... | Feb 01 18:11 |
| qu1j0t3 | though latino culture has problems | Feb 01 18:11 |
| qu1j0t3 | colonialism and castes remain strong in Brazil | Feb 01 18:11 |
| schestowitz | Anyway, if it becomes a trend, I'll need to find out why people do this | Feb 01 18:11 |
| schestowitz | in Brazil he could be murdered and it would not be invetigated | Feb 01 18:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: 2 reasons that I know of, quality of life, and buying power | Feb 01 18:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: not sure about that. | Feb 01 18:12 |
| schestowitz | some of the gangsters like Aaron Barr and chums could pay some gang to kill him | Feb 01 18:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: in brazil he can afford to hire a very heavily armed bodyhuard. | Feb 01 18:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | guard* | Feb 01 18:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | in US, probably not affordable. | Feb 01 18:12 |
| schestowitz | "I see your guard, I sent a TANK" | Feb 01 18:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | heh | Feb 01 18:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | too obvious. | Feb 01 18:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | i don't think he's unsafe in rio more than an unknown foreigner. | Feb 01 18:13 |
| schestowitz | I reckon the iffy connections and outages would be the most problematic | Feb 01 18:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | there are certain baseline risks for being a visible foreigner in brazil. | Feb 01 18:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | which , frankly, i wouldn't run, myself. but i have a solution. | Feb 01 18:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: power and net are reliable in brazil. | Feb 01 18:13 |
| schestowitz | I hear it's the same in some parts of Asia | Feb 01 18:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: *especially* Rio and SP | Feb 01 18:13 |
| schestowitz | You can get mugged easily | Feb 01 18:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: no, false about brazil. | Feb 01 18:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: brazil _lives_ on the net. | Feb 01 18:14 |
| schestowitz | and foreigners are assumed to have more money and less incentive to be nice to | Feb 01 18:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | more than any nation i've seen | Feb 01 18:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | though less than some asian countries | Feb 01 18:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: yes, those are baseline things. | Feb 01 18:14 |
| schestowitz | hmmm.. | Feb 01 18:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: but i don't think he's at particular risk from foreign interference. | Feb 01 18:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: for example, much easier to hide out there if he had to. | Feb 01 18:14 |
| schestowitz | Well, I wouldn't move to SAmerica cause of language, funnily enough | Feb 01 18:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: impossible in the US. | Feb 01 18:14 |
| schestowitz | It's all Spanish and Portuguese | Feb 01 18:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | yes :) | Feb 01 18:14 |
| schestowitz | In Asia very few speak English | Feb 01 18:14 |
| schestowitz | Except in Hong Kong a friend from there told me | Feb 01 18:15 |
| schestowitz | But if a wife knows the language, then I can do ok | Feb 01 18:15 |
| schestowitz | it's one of those situations where people complement one another | Feb 01 18:16 |
| schestowitz | one of the problems moving to the East is stuff like reading bills and communicating with locals | Feb 01 18:18 |
| schestowitz | like I wanted in 2009, it seems like a long-term plan bar the language barrier -- I need someone to help me out | Feb 01 18:18 |
