CV and mad panic behaviour

As long as Branson loses his investment, I'm good with it.

I realise the motivation for that comment, and I can understand it, but I'm not sure it makes sense to wish for an outcome that hurts us all.

Behind the scenes the politicians are very very grim faced at the moment, regardless of what front they apply for the cameras. They are basically trying to talk up the economy, but doing so while knowing the worst is yet to come. The problem seems to be that economics is more based on black magic, one lie to rule them all, far more smoke and mirrors than sound theory.

Sun Tzu in the Art of War states that you should burn your own farm to hurt your opponent, but I'm not sure that really ever makes sense. I fear that is what China is up to right now, smash the global markets to become the last standing!
