In 2055 it will probably be Mt Everest skylifts and robotic accountants, who will decide the expense, lifting such a heavy object, is not worth the engineering effort involved in making it possible, worthwhile.

As the Australian government (of whatever ilk) are to lazy to do anything apart from allow people to dig big holes in the ground, In 50 years time all the mines will join together and become one big crater which will flood due to the rising sea level giving Australia the largest inland sea.

In 2 million years time the cockroach sceintists will find this crater and assume it was the result of a huge meteor strike which lead to the 3rd great extinction.

I did an airport pickup this morning and noticed something abit daunting. The sheer amount of developer advertising written in Chinese (not "american";). It's funny because while everyone is watching the left hand (America, Middle East, russia ect) the right hand ( china) is quietly taking ownership of the world, cunning.

Would you have noticed / commented / cared if the English were taking over? Have the Chinese offended you in some way?

All the same really, Chinese, American, English. If Americans were doing the same I would feel the same. I just find it interesting how some counties use war and others use $$$.
I heard a report a couple of months back that the Chinese government was asking the australian government to do something about the foreign ownership laws as they were concerned about the huge amounts of corrupt money from china was being invested in australian real estate.
What that does for future generations housing costs here (where we live) scares me.

It is a bit amazing really. All this money that seems to be coming, apparently to park it, from a country which is meant to not have such a gap between the poor and the less poor.

Something's broken. I think stopping them investing the money outside China is not the actual problem.

I think the problem from their ( chinese government) point of view was they were trying to get the money back. If it was in china still they could just take it. Once it was overseas it was gone.

Cranky video - Australia Don't Become America


Had to smile at the music genre (mostly American) and their choice of clothing / fashions (all started in America...)

In 2055, mining we will be finished mining in Australia, the world will have realized that it's cheaper and less complex to mine in Africa.
White Australian will be even stupider than an episode of East Enders, waiting tables for rich Chinese middle class. Beer will be not be bought in cases, but in bottles. And those asses will be as smelly as they are now.

But in 50 years... everything will be fine again
