I hope American #2 knows how much fruits and vegetables are going to cost next season with all the legal Americans clamoring to replace the illegal aliens in the “fruit picking” industry and demanding minimum wage, benefits…

But w/o the illegal’s maybe our economy will do even better than it’s doing now…

It’ll be interesting to see how this experiment plays out over the next few years.

Affluenza - full hour PBS show on YouTube

Unread postby I_Like_Plants » Tue 22 Jan 2008, 01:36:37

Brilliant stuff! This show is 10 years old now and there's been 10 years of breakdown and craziness since it was filmed, so have patience when you see gas prices a bit over a buck, and it proclaimed that Americans only save 4% when now it's -2% or so.

Great show! I'd been looking for it, someone here found it and put the link here, and I went and watched it.

Since I can't remember who it was who found it and linked it, I'm going to say, Thanks, Roccman!

They run it on FSTV and LINK every month, I've seen it a couple times, it was on the documentary channel tonight I think, damn blacks are conspiring to keep you from seeing it plants, I'd be pissed if I was you.

Not Rocc; I posted it here in response to your comment about the book by the same title.

Thanks for posting it Twilliam, and boogy, thanks for the heads-up on the blacks. I see this as reason enough to shoot 'em for sport, don't you? 8)

It's All YouTube's Fault

Unread postby stonecypher » Thu 30 Apr 2009, 22:53:51

Looks like brownouts ahead...cyberspace capacity is running out.

http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol ... 169488.ece

"Analysts express...traffic in exabytes – a quintillion (or a million trillion) bytes or units of computer data. One exabyte is equivalent to 50,000 years’ worth of DVD-quality data.

Monthly traffic across the internet is running at about eight exabytes. A recent study by the University of Minnesota estimated that traffic was growing by at least 60 per cent a year, although that did not take into account plans for greater internet access in China and India."


First I've heard of this. Any comments or other links?

Streaming video turns the internet into a giant TIVO. It's very bandwidth hungry but technology never stands still with computers (microsoft not withstanding). So there will always be an attempt to keep up with demand.

It's true. The thing is though, most any other application that I can think of that would use that bandwidth is far less innocuous than Youtube. I'd far rather have youtube using it than somebody like TRW or our friends from Ft. Meade.

But *soon* the internet bandwidth will peak causing the amount of bandwidth available per person to plummet, once this happens there will be economic collapse, explosion of crime, mass famine, great big die off, and TEOTWAWKI!!!!! Nothing can replace Internet 1 in time for this to happen!!!!!!! We're DDDDDOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEEEDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!

Is this where you lead into how these are all lies in order to force the government and corporate privately controlled internet 2 on us. A setup that would take 20 years to pull of due to having to dismantle the current infrastructure?

yea... put down the peace pipe

This will simply increase the price of internet connection. This in turn will increase the amount of money provided to internet providers to provide connection.

This in turn will allow them to afford to put down more fiber optic cables/servers to provide more bandwidth.

Which in turn will solve the bandwidth problem.


Supply less than demand of market ---> Higher prices ----> more resources allocated to creating more supply ---> More supply for the market.

Problem solved.

HATED Economics, but I aced English Comp! :-D Thanks for giving me a good night's sleep tonight with such an elegantly simple explanation/solution for what will probably turn out to be a non-issue.

Just replace Y2K or peak oil with peak internet and you could just as easily make the same doom predications. Most businesses depend very heavily on the net to get things done, some farm tractors have GPS systems built in (which requires bandwidth).

Which is exactly what many people have been saying about energy prices for years, this is no difference.


The point I'm making is to show how easy it is to fall into the doomer trap of bad logic and faulty reasoning, by applying the exact same line of reasoning to this problem.
