I cannot believe that you so thick. The only number you provided was
a ranking on "ease of doing business" which includes quite a number of
variables. In fact, your use was so "cherry-picked" and so idiotic,
it was not worth answering in the first place. I am not like you,
going in every thread and sniffing around to see if you have posted
anything. And frankly, I do not give a damn about your opinions.
So, if you look at the numbers, yes, Slovakia has a "lower" (better)
score than Greece but it only gets it because it gets very low (very
good) marks in registering property and obtaining credit, none of
which are terribly relevant in foreign investments (German businesses
trying to invest in Greece would certainly not be seeking credit from
Greek banks). It is not really as if I have not talked extensively
about the problems of investment banking in Greece. I really
expounded on this earlier today in my reply to Nestor. So, a
thoughtful person would have looked at the categories and picked the
ones that are relevant to foreign investments. In many other
categories, Slovakia is not much better than Greece (and in some, it
is worse). In fact, if you look at China, the only reason that it
gets an aggregate score higher than that of Greece is because of its
very low score of enforcing contracts!!
So, to really get into this discussions, you need to have some brains,
which you obviously lack. You cannot even analyze the IMF report in
Greece which was not only panned by me but by many conservative
economists and commentators. But you cannot read a chart or a table
to save your life. You cannot make sense of projections, you do not
understand implications of policies, etc, etc.
So, be thankful that I allow some of your stupid replies to pass
without any comments. Be really thankful.
And stop being obsessed by me. If you want to contribute here, worry
about making some insightful comments about the situation in Greece.
Anyway, feel free now to post your smears, insults and lies
