And still there’s a balance between material wealth for the sake of it and quality of living.

Those are the first signals observers take note of. That, and the crowd they’re with.

The banks can’t afford to call in their loans. They just keep extending them.

In reply to Joseph Bartolo. When the music stops is when the next recession hits. The double whammy is not that far off.

An economy based on the construction industry being given free rein, on the sale of passports (where’s the money by the way?) and assorted other bubbles (how long is the rental market going to continue expanding?) is short-termist, which fits the “let’s make the best of our time in the sun” aspirations of the few but will not help the rest of us when the music stops.

I think the next update on that case will be in the year 2106. Although that may be a tad optimistic.

Meanwhile, enjoy the pin-drop silence regarding all the other investigations into the shocking incidents we’ve witnessed recently. Car bombings, murders, corruption… Nothing to see here, folks. It’s business as usual.
