The error of going to the coronation: What did Harry do wrong

In the end, it didn't matter what Harry did.  He flew in for a 24-hour visit to the UK to see his father becoming the king of the United Kingdom.  His gesture was one of conciliation in a family that basically hates his guts, and that of his wife.

I did read his book, it was interesting in a kind of weird way.  What was amazing is how he and his brother were treated differently. On the bright side, Harry was able to become a real soldier, unlike the rest of his family, for a short period of time he had a real job.

Harry arrived Friday morning and Saturday afternoon around 4 pm he was gone.,  Yet the anti-harry bunch was going after the guy.  He arrived Friday, went to bed, and went to a coronation.  That's it, he spoke to only a few cousins and said very little, but the press does love drama, and made shit up.  He was right to go home ASAP.

The thing about this; is the best the press could do was to get a lip reader...he made zero press comments he arrived quietly smiling at his father's coronation and left equally quietly a few hours later.  That he did not join the family made sense, it's like going to a wedding when you are estranged, nothing good can come out of it, you go to the church but skip the reception.

Harry has made a life of sorts in the US, his book (maybe even books) has been a best-seller, it is eminently readable and generally funny.  which is not something you can say about the royal family and its hangers-on.  The truth is that the "royal press" still found bad things to say about Harry and Megan when he went out of his way to be "out of sight", of course, he was in the third row with Andrew and his children who are as far from the royal family as is possible, plus Harry rented his cottage to one of his cousins (until his father decided that is should go to his disgraced uncle Andrew).  I sure hope that Andrew paid the Stg 7 million to Harry and Megan that they invested in the place...but no one is holding their breath.

Harry doesn't need the royal family, his Netflix deal and his book deal should ensure that he and his wife are fine for the next 50 years -- after all, he knows how his great-uncle lived in Paris for all these years!  In addition, what Harry has done for injured servicemen and women with his Invictus games cannot be taken away, and is a real thing with real benefits to servicemen and women across the commonwealth and beyond.

The desperation of the British press to find bad things to say about Harry, who was by the way, all smiles the day of the coronation, and even made a "hi" signal to his brother...really the only people who look like morons here are the royal courtiers and the British press that would find something bad to say about Harry when he said absolutely nothing to anybody during his stay... a bunch of fucking hypocrites

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...
