King Charles III -- and Harry +disinformation (update)

In the Daily Mail (a publication that makes the New York Post sound like a left-leaning rag), it was reported that Harry arrived on a private jet, there was even a picture of a gray G-V which would have cost Harry something like $200,000 (about $10,000 per fight hour for 20 hours of flying).  Today is coronation day (didn't watch, but saw pictures), but Harry was there, in the third row -- which I thought was about right, next to some very friendly cousins (one had rented his cottage for a year or two during the Pandemic -- she now live in Spain).

The funny bit is that Harry actually flew on a commercial flight (American Airlines actually).  This was not reported in the Daily Mail, but it was in the Times because people obviously recognized him (they even had the flight number).  

So let's be clear, the Daily Mail "made up" the story that Harry flew private and used fake images (probably stock images anyway) since he was flying commercial, and he was seen in terminal 3.  

Considering the book he wrote, I thought that the third row was kind of nice, but apparently, he only spoke to his cousins and no one else...now the Daily Mail indicates that Harry has been invited to "tea or some lunch this afternoon".

My guess is that Harry already has his flight booked his family is waiting for him and I am rather certain that he doesn't feel that being a lawn ornament -- where probably no one will want to talk to him (why take a chance with Harry who lives in California...).  My guess is, he's already at on his way to the airport to catch his 3:45 pm flight home.  

Plus the coronation is not about him, "right stage exit" seems to be the best option for him.  He can always fly back on a less emotionally charged day and sit down with the King and his brother....


Joke:  What the lip reader really translated


Jake Brooksbank:  Hey Harry are you?

Harry:  Fine Jack, thanks 

Jack:  you staying for this whole thing today?

Harry:  Nah, going home tonight

Jack:  really what time is your flight?

Harry:  3:45

Jack:  You are cutting it close Harry, how are you going to make it?

Harry:  No prob, got a police escort, they are so happy to see the back of me they are giving me a priority exit

Jack:  Good because you know unless you are in the first two rows, you are a lawn ornament

Harry:  laughing and pointing to his uncle( Andrew), Yeah we're the riffraff for that show, still I was there for dad so that's something.  

Jack:  When are you coming back?

Harry: No plans mate, we are very busy with the kids and everything, how about you guys?

Jack:  Back to work Monday and SIL and husband are flying back to Spain Sunday night.  

Harry:  I think you got the good end of the stick!

Jack and Harry laughing


What the Daily Mail reported

Prince Harry was very disappointed not to be included in the weekend festivities and left with his tail between his legs -- plus we hate is wife, oops we are not supposed to say that out loud

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)...

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Janet Yellen from China supporter to Hawk...

There is rarely serious news in the world these days, it seems that most newspapers are filled with headlines and little else, and then Ms Yellen went to China.  Secretary Yellen has long been known in the Biden administration as the voice of moderation when dealing with China, yet as her trip which concluded yesterday a hawk was born:  She warned the Chinese against dumping goods in the United States.    fighting words! The American administration is very concerned about the lack of Chinese domestic consumption.   Even before the COVID-19 epidemic, there were already the beginning signs of a slowdown, automobile sales were off.   China is facing domestic deflation (a clear sign of collapsing demand) China imports few consumer goods, they import raw materials and intermediary goods.   It seems that the American administration is concerned that the Chinese administration will dump consumer goods abroad to keep its manufacturing machinery ...
