Harry and Megan the saga continues

Did you hear that a largely unknown member of the Royal family "knows" that Harry will soon divorce! So is the state of news, of course, Harry and Megan just sold the movie rights to "The Spare" for a large figure so they must be in real turmoil, and of course, the Daily Mail continues to state that Harry and Megan are soon to return to the UK...clearly the sunny weather of California is too much for the ex-Royals.

I suggest that not a morning goes by when Harry and Megan don't contemplate how good their lives are now that they are out of the Royal family.  Granted, at some level their fame is largely caused by their "royal" status, but again it's not like Harry chose that life, it was thrust upon him by birth.  Harry and Megan are set for life money-wise and are enjoying the next stage of their lives as confirmed outsiders to the Royal Family.  

Leste we forget, that both Harry and Megan have toxic families.  Megan has been on the outs with her entire family for some years now, and it must be sad to contemplate that neither set of grandparents will be part of their children's lives, but so it is with dysfunctional families.  At one level, Harry probably misses parts of his family or at least specific events inside the family, but overall, and his book is clear on the subject, his role in the family was always that of the spare for whatever his brother may need...it was made clear to Harry that that was his only role.  That colors one's perspective, especially now that he he's fifth in line for the throne...he has no role in the royal family, the only role he had, he no longer holds.  

It is amazing how much UK print space is devoted to Harry and Megan, who seem to live mostly out of the limelight.  What is interesting about these articles is there are no quotes from Harry or Megan, it's about their "role" in the Royal saga.  An amazing situation, considering that Harry and Megan no longer have a house in the UK, they gave up Frogmore Cottage (a nine-bedroom mansion) at the request of the King, who recently terminated the couple's lease of the property.

They don't speak to the press, which is hardly surprising considering how they have been treated.  There are no quotes attributed to them, and even these are not reported because it's not about them or their lives. The Daily Mail for the coronation just made stuff up showing images of a private jet on which Harry had flown into the UK (when in fact he flew on a commercial flight).

I suspect that for the British tabloids, Harry and Megan's worse crime is their indifference.  When Harry went to the coronation he had a visible smile on his face, he looked like a guy who didn't have a care in the world and was there entirely for the show.  He made eye contact and greeted people, as he walked by but made no effort to chat.  When he was waiting for his car at the end of the show, he was alone and appeared to be generally satisfied.  This could be for show, still that's the image he left. 

Harry is rumored to have "spoken" to his aunt at the coronation, but if you watch these are simple greetings!  Hardly the heart-to-heart that the British press would love.  No, the British Press is pissed because he's completely indifferent and is taking the tabloid to court to further hurt their already poor reputation.  So is life, because most people can deal with love or hate, but indifference is the killer.  The British Royal family and the Tabloids are finding the going difficult because Harry clearly no longer engages with them at any level.  

When the Royal family made it clear that Harry alone was invited to the coronation and only the coronation, he took it in stride, when they portrayed him as disloyal when he left right after the show, it was evident that he was completely indifferent.  He saw a few people he liked, and that's that.  He was there for his father and fulfilled his filial duties.  If anything King Charles should be happy since Harrry costs nothing to the British crown.  

He's out and gone!

what people get wrong about tariffs

 The issue is simple. What percentage of the economy is dependent on tariff goods? The truth, is that the US economy is far more closed than people understand. People genuinely believe that all manufacturing has ceased to exist in the United States all given to China on the altar of woke policy the truth can be further from That statement. Only about 15% of US GDP is related to foreign trade. Of that amount, slightly more than half is from Canada in Mexico. And half of that is energy. What that means, is that about 7% of US GDP is tariff dependent. The proof in the pudding, is how little money tariff generates. People think that 30 or 50 billion is a lot it’s not in an economy that has $3 trillion. The impact on the US economy will be less visible but not absent. Inflation hasn’t occurred yet first because tests have hardly started to bite, but more importantly it’s such a small percent of the economy. Now certain things are critical. The rare earth metals from China were critical....

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, ...

Demographics

 I am preparing a kind of family tree for our children so that they know where they came from.  In my family I am the only survivor, although my brother and sister died recently they were both in their seventies (a story I told already).    It was a fun process, but it provided more than that.  First, I married relatively young I was 26 when I married and nearly 30 when our first child was born.   I was looking at my ancestors.  On my mother's side, she had 6 siblings, Four died before the age of 30, two in war, and two from illnesses.  Only she and a single sister survived.   The two boys had a child each but they died in WWII, and the other sister died as an infant.   what is interesting is that every one of my mother's siblings had children in their early 20s.   I know that my mom was hardly 20 when my brother was born.    What is remarkable is that among our friends, we are the only ones to have fou...
