The Firm & Media

Something is clearly wrong with the Princess of Wales. These days hospital stays are short because recovery is always easier and safer at home. Our prayers are with the Princess.  The King too, at 75 the plumbing is acting up a bit, a small if unpleasant procedure.  The king has had a healthy life so far.  I am certain that Harry and Megan sent their private wishes to them both. 

Here in America Harry and Megan still make the press every so often, although Ms. Swift seems to have taken over the airwaves of late.  Harry and his wife decided to take a holiday in Jamaica, part of the commonwealth it is well known that both Harry and Megan love the place, Harry when he was much younger in 2012 and is one of Megan's favourite holiday spots.

The press didn't like that they took a holiday.  The Daily Mail and the Express were especially brutal.  So they get invited to the premier of a movie on Bob Marley, as guests of Paramount Pictures.  Harry in a suit and Megan in a black dress.  In a single article, the British press said it all: (1) they met with the "treasonous" prime minister of Jamaica (2) Harry was underdressed, (3) Megan was overdressed, and (4) why were they not in the UK to support the Princess of Wales. 

A few facts:  Harry married a "black" woman (93% of Jamaicans are Afro-Jamaicain), (2) he is actually liked in Jamaica, (3) The firm wants nothing to do with them, in particular The Prince and Princess of Wales.  I think they were long invited to the movie but kept it quiet so that they could enjoy themselves.  Their holidays in Jamaica have been very low-key.

Harry and his wife just provided the UK with the best possible outreach to Jamaica.  But as the Guardian says, once again the United Kingdom's establishment will pry defeat out of the jaws of victory.

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 ...
