Calibration of the Nation

Occasionally I get to read the AFR. Today I get the feeling that we are just about to go over the economic cliff again. There’s enough hints of despair and insanity in there.

Possibly it would be good to plot the market indices versus some parsed linguistics on the contents of the AFR, capturing the prevailing mood of the business types.

There’s even an article about an Australian listed startup that’s about to (sic) make Facebook and Google redundant, and it hasn’t even got its app out yet. A great calibration point for the madness buried in this tabloid piece of shit.
