Trump's weird vocabulary

What's with Trump these days.  You read his Tweets and every other word seems to make little sense.  Is there something afoot here?  It is evident that Trump suffers from ADHD -- its been proven time and time again that he cannot focus on a subject for more than a few minutes at a time -- his calls with world leaders are often substance less.  Its not so much that he doesn't get stuff he just cannot focus.

His latest, which is to accuse Obama in the Russia election interference is probably the worse idea he's had (excluding the firing of Comey and the hiring of Flynn) he's now recognized that there was election tampering -- that got HIM elected!  Until recently, the party line was that there was no Russian interference -- now the leader of the free world say there was:  Who benefited -- Trump so he's scored another own goal, for no good reason, again.

Listing to his speeches there is something going on with his vocabulary, its shrinking.  Trump knows his audience's sweet spots (something Clinton was unable to find), and these days his supporters will applaud anything he says (kind of normal actually) but his vocabulary is shrinking from the pre-election times, his tweets are becoming stranger and stranger with a bizarre use of the English language (and I am not talking about the "Covfefe" incident)

It is evident that Trump is not having fun, hence the electoral rallies that are fun -- who doesn't like being cheered!  The job of president is difficult and endless, there are no easy solutions.  As an example he bombed Syria for "use of chemical weapons" a few weeks ago.  Turns out not even the US military believed that the Syrian Government had used chemical weapon, Trump decided that they had against the advice of his own military...

It would seem, for the occasional observer that I am, that Trump is increasingly isolated from reality. His support for Flynn, firing of Comey, his support and rejection of TrumpCare -- I mean in the same sentence Trump writes that its a shame that TrumpCare is not being voted on Tuesday, but at the same time (same Tweet) he writes that its a good thing because its a mean bill...

His Tweets are less grammatically structured than they were a few years ago, maybe its work pressure but again its not like he would spend hours in the past "crafting" his tweets.  Looking at how he wrote just a year ago, and today there is a strange shift in the use of the english language.  Something is up -- the "Kremlinologists" are looking at Trump's physique, he looks tired he seems to have put on weight, is this all part of health issues for the President?  I don't know, there is no doubt that the pressure must be intense, for a guy who's always had goodish press the past 200 days must feel like hell, but it could be something else.

Imagine, even FOX is starting to have doubts

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
