| The World is living on borrowed money, spending more than its income. The only way to reduce or to eliminate debt is by consuming less. Endless printing of new money will only make matters worse and money worth less. Some of these debts will never be repaid. The table below (correct as at 20 Dec. 2020) shows the debt to income ratios of major countries. Debt/GDP % USA 97.6% China 51.0% Japan 271.9% Germany 79.2% UK 102.5% France 115.0% India 80.2% Italy 158.8% Brazil 96.4% Canada 108.5% Argentina 67.6% Australia 46.9% Belgium 123.4% Greece 214.0% Indonesia 34.78% Ireland 90.5% Korea 49.0% Mexico 69.8% Netherlands 75.3% Nigeria 24.1% Norway 42.0% Poland 62.6% Portugal 151.5% Russia 19.8% Saudi Arabia 16.1% Spain 119.1% Sweden 48.8% Switzerland 48.25% Taiwan 41.8% Turkey 34.8% |
| The air leak in a Russian section of the International Space Station is still unresolved, and experts are considering the possibility of sealing off the affected section, Russian media said. Russian state news agency TASS said after a call between the astronauts on the aging space station and the operational command in Moscow that pressure is growing to find the leak as oxygen reserves and air pressure are still decreasing. The leak is apparently in an access section to the Zvezda module but it is not clear where. A spacewalk in November to find the fault was not successful. A 4.5-centimeter (1.7 inch) rip had already been discovered in October – which was located using a floating tea bag – and then sealed. It is still not known what caused the damage. It soon became clear, however, that there was another leak from elsewhere in the same section. The cosmonauts and the command center discussed sealing off the affected section, but this would affect the overall operation of the ISS. Russian space agency Roskosmos has said there is no danger to the ISS crew. There are currently seven people on board: four Americans, two Russians and a Japanese astronaut. The iconic 20-year-old spacecraft, which has hosted a wide variety of experiments in zero gravity, is experiencing ever more faults. The latest such problems include electricity supply and toilet facilities. |
