Julian Beevers and the CPI
Beevers Julian is an artist specializing in making interesting paintings on the floor specially designed for viewing at an angle in particular. In this way, appear to have 3 dimensions, creating a truly amazing visual effect. Here I leave with you 2 samples of their special work.
As you can see, perfectly able to fool the eye, working from a different perspective.
Governments, which hired several years ago "Julian Beevers for their statistics and the most distinguished by its ability to deceive, they amounted to make the Consumer Price Index. Only this explains the deviation between what we say that rising prices and what affects our pockets.
But as the Internet is very big and people are bored a lot, I see a site called Real CPI is dedicated to calculate (with data from INE) the increase in prices of consumption and eliminating the basket purchase superfluous expenditures such as jewelry, flowers, etc..
The chart would be well under these conditions:
That changed right?
Is what we have numbers that are very easy to disguise. Another clear example is the bank's Credit Suisse who suddenly expected a depreciation of assets of 2,850 million dollars in the first quarter. Ya see, from day to day it has gone a paste, which is like a lost ticket € 10.
The bank is gafada lately, at least we have occasionally had to come to rescue the father, this is the case with Northern Rock in England, when they want to plug holes in its economic liberalism move to intervene. It's like they say in Five Days: Too big to fall. Which rescues the following phrase which has no waste.
The message is transmitted is that if you do things wrong, you pay. But if you do badly rematadamente and its pernicious effects affect many people, then not pay.
The same happens to the bank, you miss the real estate sector, I do not know if it is or means gafado only get bad news in focus, this time we are told that the sale of new homes slows to speculate dry.
A housing developers are accumulating complications. If large companies estimate that sales of apartments plunged by over 30% in the final stretch of 2007, now the crisis begins to bite in the pre ie believed that the flats have already committed. The main reason, consultants and developers agree, is the withdrawal of investor bought several floors of a building on promotion and then resell the rapid revaluation showed that the Spanish market.
Reason and you know, they sell less because banks close the tap for loans because they are paid less because of the uncertainty caused by inmobliaria reduced cash flow caused because someone closed the tap. Exactly a diallel.
Finally, as I assume that the issue will come sooner or later, so loose and so I do not miss fights (and I can throw me the): Fidel Castro resignation to the president of Cuba
