Money: I have none.
Customers at my work: They are few.

None I have spoken with for the last 6 months can state that they had some positive months. Our government has increased the taxes for wine and good food, so we are close to starving here in Denmark. We have dropped a lot of bombs in Afghanistan and Libya and while it comforts me to see some suffering abroad so we are not alone it is hard to walk around and be hungry all the time just because the politicians with their special early retirement age collect while they have all the fun.

Fines for traffic violations have also increased and they are now so huge that our only choice is to outsource a lot of our transport to foreign firms who can hide in Eastern Europe and avoid paying the fines. There is no reason to put any Danish driver on to the road and expose them to the greed of the system.

It is cold. It is dark. If I was a resident in the United States, I would properly be on a large quantum of pill against various forms of depression, but I am Danish and everyone I speak with seem to have the same opinion of our present situation.

This is a serious crisis. We must move close together and turn the back on the world while the crisis can be over with. Every penny counts and all we can do are to wait until the crisis is done. It is hard not to do anything.

There has been some talk about how poor our students are. All I can say supported by the most recent research is that you have to look at the financial situation of your parents and avoid borrowing money for your education. The chance of a job after graduating is not good and research show that education seldom pays if you have borrowed money for it because the income measured over the entire work life in Denmark does not differ very much education or not.

I have recommended my children to stay out of computers and likewise because during the summer of 2011 working with computers was made a low-income job area due to the interference of CSC by importing cheap work labor from India. The oldest is now having his own McJob career after dropping out from a computer academy. I feel that his future is just as bright as when he was studying. The youngest is having a part-time job beside his studies but is properly dropping out to work full time in construction because our tax department has introduced a new law where private citizens are forbidden to pay construction workers in cash and now he has to pay tax which makes his school too expensive to attend.

It is hard times. I hope you readers have some good news for a change to tell me. Please comment if you experience something positive.

First we got a new government. Of course the old one was worn down and too tired to be able to govern Denmark further. We needed new blood instead of Mr. “Excuse me with my banging” as we saw it at COP15.

But they came into office with a lot of empty promises. They had nothing and it seems that they are able to succeed with nothing because the old government got everyone involved with spying on the tax paid by the present prime minister. What exactly went wrong with this case I don’t know.

In countries Denmark had compare itself with like Russia the public employees do spy on members of the opposition. It is standard behavior. In Russia the public employees succeed in protecting the political elite, but not here in Denmark. What is there to say? We are amateurs in normal political games!

Denmark is no longer a welfare society. In Denmark families are bankrupted if they seek treatment for their children before the illness is life threatening. A lot of families with children suffering from mental illnesses like depression seek help by the local child protection services only to discover that they shouldn’t have reached out for help but waited coldhearted until the illness explode so their child is close to death. Then they can get free treatment in hospitals. If they don’t wait then the law – (Order number 498 of 2011) – allows the social services to send a huge bill every single month. How do you tell your child that you have lost your home because you wanted to save the child? How do you tell siblings that they have to give up everything? Friend and a school they like because they have a sister or a brother who is ill?

No Denmark is not a welfare society. In some nursing homes diapers are used twice in order to save money.

The obvious question is: How can we improve the present economic situation in Denmark so we can regain our right to early retirement and by this reclaim our previous status as a welfare society?

The answer is: The undeveloped countries must suffer. We cannot provide aid to anyone abroad as long as our own population suffers.

A country like India should not have one cent. With help by unorganized labor they undermined the jobs in the Information technology business so none can earn a living which enables them to feed their family. Any IT-job in Denmark has become a charity because workers from India came to Denmark ready to work a full day of work for a cup of rice.

The case with the author and humanitarian Niels Holck showed us that they can some kind of wrong kind of image of themselves which should enable them to make demands of a culture so much more developed than they are. I don’t understand why we haven’t cut them off long ago but continues to provide aid to the part of their population they don’t care about. Maybe if we didn’t support the poor part of their population and they started to die as result of the neglect they are victim off due to a corrupt government, they would start to rebel.

Fact is that we don’t need India. They are only hiring to destroy our industry and put employees out in unemployment or to lower salaries so much here in Denmark that our workers will no longer be able to feed their families.

2011 was a hard year for Denmark and 2012 is not going be better. In fact if the world broke down in 2012 as some state it would do, it really wouldn’t matter much because without early retirement there and with increased fines for traffic violations there is nothing left to enjoy in life.

I wish that I had something more positive to say about 2011, but that I am not able to.

Merry Christmas and a “happy” new year.

As several in the business of politics told the media he has a background as a craftsman and people from working class are just like that; so the deal is done and over with.

Sometime I regret that I didn’t drop out of high school and created a career for my self.

While we are talking sex-cases with people on the top involved it seems that the case against Strauss-Kahn was a setup all along. Maybe the reason was that the United States wanted to keep France in the front of the attack on Libya. I cannot find any other reason. Please enlighten me if you have a theory.

It was a try!

But despite all the good things they experienced during this period like the parties, putting the Germans into place and a general good spirit, something was missing.

In the old days the government worked together with the part of the industry which is located in the south of Italy where the poor part of the population is living – Huge organizations with foreign connections to the United States which were able to work efficient despite all efforts by the police, custom and tax departments – Huge organizations with the potential to boost the export.

Under Berlusconi the focus went north to the regions which should have been part of Austria. Of course the politics made much of the crime committed by people who wanted to be a part of Austria disappear. There are some who state that the suicide by Aldo Moro was a murder and some members of the political elite back then were involved in this incident. Under the rule of Berlusconi we saw no bombings and kidnappings.

But we also were signs that Italy was moving away from democracy. The actions of Giuliano Mignini in the Amanda Knox case made many Europeans wonder if Italy belonged in among the countries in the European Union. Businessmen like me began to wonder if their industry was collapsed. Denmark bought fewer than 100 trains in Italy back in 1999. They have not been able to produce all these trains now where we write 2011.

It became clear that Italy began an experiment back in 1994. It is time to end this experiment now and they need to move on. But to where?

I believe that they need to present something safe. They need to go back and recreate the political environment which existed before Berlusconi entered politics and they need to do this despite claims of close ties to criminal elements. Those ties would not scare us – the European customers – off. We recognize the Italian culture. We do know how their society works.

However, they need to act now. Europe has never needed swift action from Italy as it is the case now.

Denmark is going towards a real lockdown of our society. We are about to create a kind of Stasi society where my job as a citizen is to see to that my neighbor or a contractor I hire pay their taxes. Otherwise I if don’t spy on them, I can get punished and be ordered to pay their taxes.

But I am only a private citizen and I don’t have the money to pay for both a private eye and a contractor every time I need a contractor, so I will not hire anyone at all. Even if something at my house is destroyed, I will choose not to fix it if I cannot do it on myself.

Our relations to foreign countries like China and India

Our out-of-the-country-minister as he is called or our foreign minister as most people would call the position he has was able to insult the Chinese rule on the mainland. Of course we have to recognize them instead of the legitimate government which was forced to flee the mainland to the island where they are now. But it doesn’t mean that we cannot tell them how civilized people treat their citizens. If they are insulted as result of this they can take the next plane home. As Danes who represent the most superior culture in the world it is our role to teach other governments how to behave themselves.

We also managed to get the government down in India angry because we have an independent court system. Not that it is something to be worried about. Of course most remember their ruthless attack on Goa where they destroyed a happy colony and left people in despair. There was not a lot of liberation in this shameful attack as they had not opposition when they attacked.

With Asia out of the picture as a market our students are now advice to look at South America as a possible new export market. Brazil looks rather interesting. Henning Albert Boilesen, who so tragically lost his life back in 1971, did make grounds for a possible increase in the export to Brazil. The present citizens owe him so much and he was knighted here in Denmark.

The problem is that most students are not that interested in the languages used in Sound America. I hope that student’s advisers will help the young people to make the right choices.

Libya

So they killed their leader and our planes did a good job so they could finish him off. Unfortunately his punishment was a minor one. Instead they should have given him a rather sadictic punishment like the one Lindsay Lohan is suffering right now. The judges in the United States seem all to have their friends in business and shetlers so they can get something in return by sending offenders to the friends to serve out their punishment. Combine such a corrupt system with 24/7 coverage from the media and you have how Lohan have to live her life. See that is a cruel punishment.

I hope that the people in Libya one day may enjoy more freedom than we are used to in Denmark, because Denmark is slowly moving down the level so one day it may be the other way around. Maybe we would be the people reaching out for help.
