Why nothing will happen if the US enter in default

Tell me something, do you really understand what is the US situation? Do you really understand what a default is? Me either, so I did a little search and I understand nothing so I did a re-search and I understand what is, actually I lived it. I was living in Argentina when the country entered in default. I´m going to try to explain to you what is a default? What happen with a country in default?
 I´m going to start with my own experience, ok, first what you hate more, HISTORY, a little bit of history, it will be short, I swear. In 2001 Argentina entered in default, what happened here? A social revolution, the president, Dr. de la Rua resigned, do you like Shakira?,well the de la Rua´son went out with her for like 10 years, the de la Rua family are really good with girls, not so much with numbers. Anyway, in Buenos Aires the people protested in the street, and it was so bad that actually there was one dead and who knows how many injured, socially it was a disaster, there was two presidents in 48 hours, just a disaster but economically it´s actually a little bit more easy to explain, there was a lack of jobs, just like that, and people had to leave the country because it was impossible to find a job, will this happen in the US? Or in Greece? I don´t think so, why? Let me explain.
 In Greece it did happen a social protest but I don´t think that the economy people, like I like to called to the real economy, the economy of a family, the economy of a person, of the country with be affected like in Argentina because Greece is an European country with a strong economy and opportunities to do a good come back. Before to go what it matters, the U.S., let me explain what a default really is. Default means “failure to pay” so… if a person cannot pay its bills, well, enter in default, it just that, have you never found yourself unable to pay your credit card? I had, and I’m alive, nothing happen, I was a little bit short of money and that´s all, well that is what happen with a country enters in default, of course if you live in a weak country like Argentina, maybe, just maybe will affect you and for most people it won´t be the end of the world, like I said, there was a lot of people complicated but for example, all I had to do in that time was walk and walk trying to find the best place to exchange dollars.
 So, this is the thing, when you cannot pay your credit card, what do you do? Go to the bank and say: I cannot pay my credit card, I need a payment plan. What they do after spend like 4 hours asking you your exact situation, the let you pay your “default” in quota, you pay your bill in months and of course with an interest.
 If the US entered in default is exactly what will do, will it affect you?, if you are the  owner of Ford, the president of Coca Cola, or Donald Trump, maybe and just maybe because this kind of people play in the market and wall street and that kind of things and in a country in default, the market will be weak, I don´t recommend put your retirement saving in a default market but if you have money and you are willing to lose it, PUT YOUR MONEY IN A DEFAULT CONTRY, you will buy stocks for a penny and then you can sell them for hundreds.
 I know haven´t being very professional in my explanation, but I didn´t want to be, the idea was show the default country situation not being like the TV economist that say they will be clear and then start to pull numbers from under the table.
 So, this is what I recommend you to do in a situation like the US´. If you have some foreign money, pay attention to the exchange but not only to that but also to the market, WAIT, i´m not saying tune Bloomberg 24/7, actually that will only confuse you, what you need to do is just know if Wall Street is up or down, just that and if the market of the money you have is up or down, example, if you have euros, well, after breakfast, tune some European channel and look how is the IBEX (Spain market) for example, why? Because if the European market is up, probably the  next day the euro will be up and you will able to exchange  at a better price. If you don´t have euros, what you have to do is just DON´T BUY ANYTHING AT LONG TERM, no mortgage, no credits, no nothing, I mean, a new TV, well, try to buy it at 3 month, why? Because the economy will be unstable and who knows what can happen and if you buy something at 2 years maybe you will need that money and because the process will be unstable too, so, what you buy today at $10 in a month or two can be at $5.
 Again, what will happen if the US actually enters in default? Well, it will be harder to get a scholarship, for example, your boss won´t increase your salary (this is just the company excuse to not increase you the salary because if the people, in a default country have money it´s easier to get out or the default because the people will spend and the economy will start to function again), what will happen? basically, things that are hard to find will get harder. But things that you really need will be there, the gas price will increase, and the expensive products will be even more expensive but everyday thing will be there.

The Pentagon was hacked

Washington-The Pentagon has confirmed that computers with intel about Afghanistan, Iraq, US satellites secrets information were hacked. This is the second time of a security breach of this magnitude, the other was fourth month ago, when 24,000 files with weapon desings were stolen.
 T
his time were compromised files with 
"Designs of satellites, UAV's - the unmanned aerial vehicles - cutting-edge military technology,"  Acording with  
Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn.


 Suspects? to hard to tell? i don´t think so, an attack of this characteristic is impossible to do by hackers on a basement or by college student. This was done by a foreing intelligence agency, and the ones with the potencial to hack the Pentagon are just a few. The most suspected? Russia and China.





EL PENTAGONO FUE HACKEADO

Washington- El Pentagono confirmó que servidores con información sobre Afghanistan, Iraq, información secreta sobre sartelites estadounidences fueron hackeados. Esta es la segunda vez de una violación de seguridad de esta magnitud, la otra fue hace cuatro meses cuando 24.000 archivos diseños de armas fueron robados.
 Esta vez fueron comprometidos archivos con "diseños de satelites, UAV - los vehículos aéreos no tripulados - tecnología de vanguardia militar". Segun el Deputy del Secretario de Defensa William Lynn.

 Sospechosos? muy dificil de decir? no lo creo, un ataque de estas caracteristicas es imposible de hacer por un hacker en un sotano o por un estudiante universitario. Esto fue hecho por una agencia de inteligencia extranjera, y las que tienen el poderío como para hackear al Pentágono son unas pocas. Los mas sospechados? Rusia y China.

Reactions of players and MLB to thursday´s tragedy

On thursday´s game a 39 years old man died when fell form aproximated 20 feet trying to cath a foul ball. The man was at the game with his six years old son.

"Every time you see fans trying to catch a ball, I always get scared. We toss the balls to the fans just trying to be nice. It's not like we want anybody to get hurt." -- Boston Red Soxdesignated hitter David Ortiz.

---

"It's really beyond tragic. It's just so sad. It's such, a friendly part and a happy part of the game, especially with a father and son and for it to end in such a tragedy, it's just full on brokenhearted. It's just such a tough, tough thing, it really is." -- Milwaukee Brewers closerJohn Axford.

---

"It's not been an easy day. There's gonna be a stretch here where we're all gonna grieve for a while." -- Oakland Athletics reliever Brad Ziegler.

---

"Everybody has a heavy heart, regardless of what side you're on. You go out and do your thing on the field. ... Everybody handles it differently. There's not one piece of medicine that you can give somebody because we're all human beings and all handle things differently." -- Oakland manager Bob Melvin.

---

"I know I get nervous when I see guys reaching over the upper deck for foul balls all the time, foul balls come up there, and it shows you, boy, you don't have to fall very far for something bad to happen. You just can't believe it when you see it." -- Cincinnati Redsmanager Dusty Baker.

---

"It's a very sad situation. I just put on TV and listened to Nolan Ryan and very sad. Very sad moment for baseball and the way all that happened. His family was there. A very, very dramatic thing. In the meanwhile it's just something you always wonder about it that somebody doesn't get hurt. I saw a kid get hit yesterday behind the first-base dugout. Luis Salazar get hit by ball. But that's part of the game. But when somebody loses their life when somebody is trying to be nice, I've never seen that before. That's why I think it shocked a lot of people because that never happened before in baseball -- I don't remember it happening in the game." -- Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.

---

"Players have been giving baseballs to kids in the stands as long as we've been in the game and baseball is always saying `Hey, you have to be really careful with those things.' Guys are trying to do something nice and this happens and it's really sad, it's heartbreaking. I think it's a situation that baseball has really been on top of. Like I said, it's something you always worry about when you throw a ball up, people scramble for it, they might get hurt, and that's kind of what baseball has been talking about for a long time here. I don't even know how to describe it. It's gut-wrenching. It's really sad." -- Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire.
