Harry and Megan (Redux)

So after a Netflix series and a book, and interviews with Oprah Harry and Megan get kick-out of their Frogmore (sp) estate in the UK, which they used once in the past two years (Covid) and they now live in the US.  Apparently, they are furious, although in the images I saw of them this morning, they didn't look furious.  The real story is that apparently, they didn't actually own that cottage, it was leased from the King's estate -- a "wedding gift" from the Queen, a bit like your parents giving you a leased car for a few years, at the end of the lease it returns to the owner...

They had actually lent the cottage to their cousins, but they too decamped from the UK and are apparently happily living in Spain now!

My guess, is Harry and Megan were probably looking for an elegant way to not attend the coronation...invitations are not out yet (don't know why) but are leaving the Palace in a few days.  I'm guessing there will not be an invitation for Harry and Megan.  They have done rather well for themselves and Harry can continue on his Invictus game thing, after all, Harry was the only royal in a long time to actively participate in the military, as opposed to his father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather.  You actually have to go back to the 19th century to find a real active royal military officer.

The most amazing thing in his book (which I have not read) is how he and his brother were treated differently, clearly a second-class citizen even from childhood (with the very different rooms they had as children).

Harry and Megan have a nice life in the US where they are generally well-accepted.  They are a successful power couple that has so far played their cards right.  The question is will they succeed in the future...well the future is unknown, but as a person, Harry is probably a lot happier than he was when he lived in the UK, and his wife, not being white must have been something difficult to be in the UK, especially among the royals.

Anyway, Harrry is like the 9th in order of succession so might as well get away.  His dad waited 74 years to get the job, he's never going to get that job!

What must be galling is his uncle Andrew now being offered the cottage...I mean Andrew,  come on no one in the UK Royal family has done more to destroy the royal family, no one!

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
