Steve Bannon: He said what?

Earlier today (Friday) Bannon was speaking at CPAC, and he said:  "The cabinet secretary were selected for their task of "deconstruction of the administrative state"

I mean looking at Trump cabinet you feel that those appointed hate their job and department; turns out they were selected for that very reason -- the destruction of the organ of state.  This is truly amazing that a senior White House official and confident to the President that the entire decision of selecting the cabinet is to ensure the destruction of these departments.  It also explains why so few of the confirmation required jobs have been filled -- there will be no job to take over.   If the intent is destruction (and quickly at that -- the mid term elections are just around the corner), then they have to move quickly.  Already on February 3rd legislation has been introduce to eliminate the EPA. Education has to be next, Social Security administration (since it will be pawned off to Wall Street), Department of agriculture and Department of the Interior -- easy picks for the current administration. It would seem that the department of Energy is more complicated since they supervise the storing of nuclear arms...

Privatizing social security and grant for states to administer medicare and medicaid will certainly cut the size of government.  Keeping medicare/medicaid at the level of general inflation will kill these programs within 10/15 years (medical inflation is running 2x or 3x the level of genera inflation).

Trumps' White House has declared war on the Federal government -- and both the Senate and Chamber of Representative will watch the Federal government being dismantled with glee.

Could this mark the end of the American Empire -- where police are given additional powers (national guards too), to not only arrest but also to depart (i.e. being judge and jury)?  This sounds needlessly pessimistic, on the other hand Bannon has no issue with the world knowing exactly what he is planning -- he must feel confident that there are no barriers to his tasks to admit it so freely!

Watch out below...

Ok so I lied...a little (revised)

When we began looking at farming in 2013/14 as something we both wanted to do as a "second career" we invested time and money to understand what sector of farming was profitable.  A few things emerged, First, high-quality, source-proven, organic farm products consistently have much higher profit margins.  Secondly, transformation accounted for nearly 80% of total profits, and production and distribution accounted for 20% of profits: Farmers and retailers have low profit margins and the middle bits make all the money. A profitable farm operation needs to be involved in the transformation of its produce.  The low-hanging fruits: cheese and butter.  Milk, generates a profit margin of 5% to 8%, depending on milk quality.  Transformed into cheese and butter, and the profit margin rises to 40% (Taking into account all costs).  Second:  20% of a steer carcass is ground beef quality.  The price is low, because (a) a high percentage of the carcass, and (b) ground beef requires process

21st century milk parlour

When we first looked at building our farm in 2018, we made a few money-saving decisions, the most important is that we purchased our milk herd from a retiring farmer and we also purchased his milking parlour equipment.  It was the right decision at the time.  The equipment dates from around 2004/05 and was perfectly serviceable, our installers replaced some tubing but otherwise, the milking parlour was in good shape.  It is a mature technology. Now, we are building a brand new milk parlour because our milking cows are moving from the old farm to the new farm.  So we are looking at brand new equipment this time because, after 20 years of daily service, the old cattle parlour's systems need to be replaced.  Fear not it will not be destroyed instead good chunks will end up on Facebook's marketplace and be sold to other farmers for spare parts or expansion of their current systems. All our cattle are chipped, nothing unusual there, we have sensors throughout the farm, and our milki

So we sold surplus electricity one time last summer...(Update)

I guess that we will be buying an additional tank for our methane after all.   Over the past few months, we've had several electricity utilities/distributors which operate in our region come to the farm to "inspect our power plant facilities, to ensure they conform to their requirements".  This is entirely my fault.  Last summer we were accumulating too much methane for our tankage capacity, and so instead of selling the excess gas, that would have cost us some money, we (and I mean me) decided to produce excess electricity and sell it to the grid.  Because of all the rules and regulations, we had to specify our overall capacity and timing for the sale of electricity (our capacity is almost 200 Kw) which is a lot but more importantly, it's available 24/7, because it's gas powered.  It should be noted that the two generators are large because we burn methane and smaller generators are difficult to adapt to burn unconventional gas, plus they are advanced and can &qu
