The Next Global Depression Is coming and Optimism Won’t Slow It Down.

 

The world is confused and frightened. COVID-19 infections are on the rise across the U.S. and around the world, even in countries that once thought they had contained the virus.

 

Let’s start with the word depression. There is no commonly accepted definition of the term. That’s not surprising, given how rarely we experience catastrophes of this magnitude. But there are three factors that separate a true economic depression from a mere recession. First, the impact is global. Second, it cuts deeper into livelihoods than any recession we’ve faced in our lifetimes. Third, its bad effects will linger longer.

 

A depression is not a period of uninterrupted economic contraction. There can be periods of temporary progress within it that create the appearance of recovery. The Great Depression of the 1930s began with the stock-market crash of October 1929 and continued into the early 1940s, when World War II created the basis for new growth. That period included two separate economic drops: first from 1929 to 1933, and then again from May 1937 into 1938. As in the 1930s, we’re likely to see moments of expansion in this period of depression.

 

Depressions don’t just generate ugly stats and send buyers and sellers into hibernation. They change the way we live. The Great Recession created very little lasting change. Some elected leaders around the world now speak more often about wealth inequality, but few have done much to address it. Large segments of society, particularly people who weren’t already on the verge of retirement, were able to hunker down and later return to the same approach to saving and investing they practiced before the crisis. They were rewarded with a period of solid, long-lasting recovery. That’s very different from the current crisis. COVID-19 fears will bring lasting changes to public attitudes toward all activities that involve crowds of people and how we work on a daily basis

 

Even with all this Knowledge we have to carry on and keep thinking positive. We have to stay strong and stick together. This depression wasn`t the first and won`t be the last.

But did you ever wonder how the other lifetime of them looks like whilst in standby-mode? Waiting to get used again?....what a tragic life of an safety pin!

When I was young

I never needed anyone

And making love was just for fun

Those days are gone

 

Living alone

I think of all the friends I′ve known

But when I dial the telephone

Nobody's home

 

All by myself

Don′t wanna be, all by myself anymore

All by myself

Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore

 

Hard to be sure

Sometimes I feel so insecure

And love's so distant and obscure

Remains the cure

 

All by myself

Don′t wanna be, all by myself anymore

All by myself

Don′t wanna live, all by myself anymore

 

When I was young

I never needed anyone

And making love was just for fun

Those days are gone

 

All by myself

Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore

All by myself

Don′t wanna live, all by myself anymore

 

All by myself

Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore

All by myself

Don′t wanna live, all by myself anymore

 

All by myself...

#macromondays #rust

 

Another hard job for my little tiny helpers. Someone came up with the idea to repair and unlock those old rusty nuts and bolts. Not even thinking about how tough this gets for my little workers. But once more...they give their best on it :)

#macromondays #behindglass

 

If something happens behind the scenes, it happens without most people knowing about it, especially when something else is happening publicly. lot of hard work has been going on behind the scenes. Same here - we get focused on a CSI crime scene through glasses. Even if you might think that everyone is friendly in little world - there is crime everywhere. And someone got to take care of it - behind the scenes! So here we go again - my tiny little helpers from the CSI-Team are investigating a crime scene!

A matchstick is a slender piece of flammable wood used as a match. People in little world still need matchsticks to light up things. But first they need to get packed into their boxes and transported to their final destinations to get used. Even tough - another perfect job for the tiny little helpers. :)

#macromondays #Damage

 

All physical damage begins on the atomic level, with the shifting or breaking of atomic bonds, and the rate at which damage to any physical thing occurs is therefore largely dependent on the elasticity of such bonds in the material being subjected to stress. Damage can occur where atomic bonds are not completely broken, but are shifted to create unstable pockets of concentration and diffusion of the material, which are more susceptible to later breakage. The effect of outside forces on a material depends on the relative elasticity or plasticity of the material; if a material tends towards elasticity, then changes to its consistency are reversible, and it can bounce back from potential damage. However, if the material tends towards plasticity, then such changes are permanent, and each such change increases the possibility of a crack or fault appearing in the material.

 

What we got here in little world is trully a crime. Someone damaged the old stilled lightbulb and left away with all the trash. This brings up another case for the CSI-Crime Team. Hope they catch the responsible person as sooon as possible :)

Macro Monday, 9.1.17 inspired by a song

Inspiriert durch ein Lied

 

Tag 008/365 (2017)

song from UMBERTO TOZZI - TI AMO

A knot is an intentional complication in cordage which may be practical or decorative, or both. Practical knots are classified by function, including hitches, bends, loop knots, and splices: a hitch fastens a rope to another object; a bend fastens two ends of a rope to each another; a loop knot is any knot creating a loop; and splice denotes any multi-strand knot, including bends and loops.A knot may also refer, in the strictest sense, to a stopper or knob at the end of a rope to keep that end from slipping through a grommet or eye.Knots have excited interest since ancient times for their practical uses, as well as their topological intricacy, studied in the area of mathematics known as knot theory.

E from EarPods

#macromondays #iSpy

 

The iSpy Challenge brought a lot of Fun. I did have plenty of ideas how to crate my contribution. In the end i decided to let it go for some Apple EarPods. As you might know the little helpers in little world are huge fans of music. So much that one of them started to give a little solo concert with his saxophone playing this great Song called "Lily was here". :)

 

If you don`t know the Song already...you gotta listen to it right now :)

#macromondays #Broken

 

The latest #macromondays challenge #Broken prompts me to share this picture with you.

 

Another day in little world - another day with trouble! This time old granny takes care of it :)

 

When a glass breaks, it shatters into small pieces that can be dangerous if not handled properly. These pieces can cause cuts and injuries if they come into contact with skin, so it's important to be careful when cleaning up broken glass.

 

To clean up broken glass, you should wear gloves and use a broom and dustpan to sweep up the larger pieces. Then, use a damp paper towel or cloth to carefully pick up the smaller pieces. Be sure to dispose of the glass in a container that won't break, such as a cardboard box or plastic container with a lid.

 

If the broken glass is on a carpeted or upholstered surface, you can use a vacuum cleaner to clean up the larger pieces. Be sure to use a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment to avoid damaging the carpet or upholstery.

 

If the broken glass is on a hard surface, you can also use a wet mop or sponge to clean up any remaining fragments. Be sure to dispose of the glass in a safe manner and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.

 

In general, it's important to be cautious when handling broken glass to avoid injury. If you are unsure about how to clean up broken glass, it's best to contact a professional to assist you.

Always me! - That is what the tiny little helper thought when he arrived on this messy place. Someone broke the light bulb and left it that way. Well, someone gotta clean it up anyway before someone gets hurt. And here we go...another job for the tiny little helpers in little world. :)

#macromondays

#open

#Shocktober

 

Mr. Croc at the dentist('s) 😉 And who likes to see the dentist...

 

This is Mr. Croc's second appearance on Flickr, you can find the first one in the first comment. Mr. Croc is a Schleich figurine, and unlike most Schleich figurines that are just that, figurines without any moving parts, Mr. Croc's mouth is openable. So this was an easy choice for the "Open" theme, especially when it's Shocktober as well ;) I'll leave it up to you to decide whether the rather unenviable dentist ("You had one job!") is James who went missing in Mr. Croc's first adventure. But what is sure is that he's an H0/1:87 figurine used in scale modeling scenes. I picked him up used along with other H0 model railway figures from the spare parts box of a shop that is specialized in rare second-hand scale modeling supplies – a real treasure trove.

 

With a width of 4,5 cm/1,7 inches the frame is a little on the bigger side. This final image is the result of another in-camera focus stacking. Light sources were one LED light from the left, and my small LED flashlight handheld from above/behind the scene. To block out any daylight I've again used a small black cardboard box and a black tile as "stage", and I've also wrapped black velvet foil around the scene so that I'd still be able to illuminate the scene from behind.

 

HMM, Everyone, and have a nice week ahead!

 

Wer geht schon gerne zum Zahnarzt...

 

Dies ist Mr. Crocs zweiter Auftritt bei Flickr, sein erstes Abenteuer findet Ihr im ersten Kommentar. Mr. Croc ist eine Schleich-Figur, die, anders als die meisten Schleich-Figuren, die keine beweglichen Teile haben, ein Maul hat, das sich öffnen und das sich – wie ich angesichts der nicht ganz ungefährlichen Lage, in der sich der wenig beneidenswerte "Zahnarzt" hier befindet, anmerken muss – leider auch wieder schließen lässt. Perfekt also für das "Open"-Thema.

 

Die Entscheidung, ob es sich hier um James handelt, der in Mr. Crocs erstem Abenteuer an ganz ähnlicher Stelle "abhanden" kam, überlasse ich Euch. Unwahrscheinlich ist es nicht, aber da das Thema ja "offen" ist, können wir auf ein Happy End hoffen ;)

 

Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne erste Oktober-Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

Another hard day for the tiny little helpers in little world. This time someone has to stack up the stringrolls and clean up the mess that somebody has left here. Once more we can count on the support from my tiny people :)

Another nice challenge for the upcoming weekly theme of #macromondays - simply put something #OnTop of something else.

A knot is an intentional complication in cordage which may be practical or decorative, or both. Practical knots are classified by function, including hitches, bends, loop knots, and splices: a hitch fastens a rope to another object; a bend fastens two ends of a rope to each another; a loop knot is any knot creating a loop; and splice denotes any multi-strand knot, including bends and loops.A knot may also refer, in the strictest sense, to a stopper or knob at the end of a rope to keep that end from slipping through a grommet or eye.Knots have excited interest since ancient times for their practical uses, as well as their topological intricacy, studied in the area of mathematics known as knot theory.
