Just some links I’ve had kicking around. Neat stuff to read:
I can’t believe someone actually did the research on this. (PDF)
An outbreak of zombies infecting humans is likely to be disastrous, unless extremely aggressive tactics are employed against the undead. While aggressive quarantine may eradicate the infection, this is unlikely to happen in practice. A cure would only result in some humans surviving the outbreak, although they will still coexist with zombies. Only sufficiently frequent attacks, with increasing force, will result in eradication, assuming the available resources can be mustered in time.
Time to start stockpiling the rounds for the automatic-shotgun.
I was browsing the web today and came across this article by Simon Johnson, the former Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund. In the article he goes into the rise of the “Banking Oligarchy” in the United States how, in his opinion, it lead to the current economic crisis, and how the members of this Oligarchy are hampering the recovery process.
I’m not sure if I buy everything he says 100%, but it is definitely a good read from a unique point of view.
