These days just about every shopping strip or center is dominated by cafes, restaurants and real estate agents !!

What the hell is going on here !! Why aren't we being productive anymore ? How do we expect to pay back our debts on the back of cafe lattes ? Nothing is being made here except bullshit ! A bullshit economy run by a real estate agent from point piper.

Is this what Morriscum means by prosperity and being the envy of the rest of the world Cheesy

LOL

Yeh sure you can do anything you want off the back of a credit card but sooner or later you have to pay interest !!

hear hear sir Nail,
we need heavy industry like Germany - not coffee shops.

Germany - a country that we should be aspiring to match. Not the third world like the clowns on here seem to want.

If a service economy was the way to go then germany would have closed its factories long ago and replaced it with coffee shops and real estate agents !! They are not that stupid of course Wink

Hi sir Nail,
we're heading for a recession the way that Malcolm is "leading" us.

What the hell is going on here !!

shopping centres are changing. In the future they'll be mostly meeting points, for dining and entertainment, they'll serve the service industry such as real estate, accountants, etc with very few 'retail' shops. Internet shopping has destroyed bricks and motor retail, or is in the process off.

If you want to sell tshirts or shoes why pay $2- 3k A WEEK to rent a space when you can rent a garage for $300 and sell online? Do you know how many tshirts or shoes you have to sell to pay the rent? then you need staff to stand there all day. It cannot compete with online

I don't believe you can run a prosperous service economy because if you could then we wouldn't be in so much debt !!

Perhaps there are some exceptions such as Singapore etc but this idea that countries like china have still to transition to a service economy that is parroted by the brains trust here is truly laughable. China has built a massive cashed up economy on the back of value adding and manufacturing so the last thing they want to do is to follow us and throw all of that away and replace it with coffee shops and lawn mowing rounds Sad

I don't care what you believe about a service economy, I was talking about shopping centres. You do realise that the economy extends beyond shopping centres, right?

They are in abundance in the Westfield shopping malls as well. Open your eyes. This is what happens when you de-industrialize a nation. It literally goes to sleep Sad

Malcolm is relying on using one credit card to pay off another !! This can't go on indefinitely - something has to give !!
