Bank for International settlements estimated derivative products at over $ 600 trillion

It sound s crazy but our minds would like to believe otherwise. It is interesting to think like olden days detective investigating a "crime", who benefits at the end of this cycle of trade imbalances?

Fall of dollar is equivalent to the 3rd world war, and may be I feel the end of cold war was bad-- it removed a constraint in the system. Unconstrained unipolar world, led USA to indulge in free unlimited consumption, seeking the inevitable constraint, and now the impact of hitting the constraint could be the economic center of gravity will move to China. Dollar may lose its position as the reserve currency, if more nations start trading oil in non-dollar terms, and year over year dollar investments by others get dried up.

The upheaval will certainly have collateral damages. Only rich fat cats took advantage of the stimulus because, only the same rich fat cats who failed the nation, remained in charge of distributing the largess. Darwin's theory works; self-preservation comes first.

The great Indian Puzzle.

The great Indian Puzzle:  own technology to save every single life in land transportation, decongest cities and roads, save fossil fuels, avoid painful land and property acquisition, all weather system, eliminates modal split and seamlessly integrates for both cargo and people, more importantly financially viable, proven and cleared by Government in 2005 itself BUT ignore  and continue to keep doing infrastructure development with century old technologies, proudly too, to add insult to injury, causing tears to land and property owners, spending four times more but unable to achieve any positive result, cities remain congested, floods can shut down cities, accidents keep killing people and losing heavily public funds in terms of subsidising losses since famously these are not financilayy viable. Isn't it height of stupidity or lack of integrity in engineers for misguiding their governments? How history will judge, only time will tell

SKYBUS RAIL : The unique disruptive rail technology of this century.

Image
It is yet to hit experts of railways , that an innocent simple reconfiguration of railway technology elements in 2004 and and World’s First run on Sept 15 2004 of Skybus in Goa,  (    https://youtu.be/TzFH26E6eto  )   actually ushered in a mile stone, which I myself did not realize full implications at that time.   Many centuries of derailing, capsizing and colliding railways which we had been using with expensive mitigating measures, suddenly becomes obsolete.  Even in 2022 there are are hundreds of incidents in the world even in the most advanced railway systems and human lives lost. In 2005, once dynamic tests confirmed safety and more comfortable running of Skybus Rail, the entire world railways stand obsolescent.  To say the 175 year old , evolved highspeed rail too now , is obsolete is shocking . But matters of fact stare at any rational person, to gloss over.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/134GMH5pLrNkvhrXROIhQJvksdDtfeb6u/view     Current serious global warming challenge is e
