Hatred: Harry Wales & Taylor Swift

After two weeks in the US where the royal family is only rarely discussed, I noticed that some people's hatred of Ms Swift was palpable yet unexplainable.  Very much like some bozos using their big truck to block a Tesla charging station, it is a visceral dislike, because she represents something that they cannot accept, fundamentally Ms. Swift represents "Women Power" and she doesn't use her sexuality, her audience is not the Male Gaze but rather woman's right to be independent of men.  They obviously have tremendous power both socially and financially, heck her show noticeably affected local GDP, more so even than the Superbowl.  Even the GOP is realizing that attacking Ms, Swift has left them open to attack by her legions of ferocious supporters.  

The hatred for Harry is similar, especially for the royal watchers who live their entire professional existence from the ups and downs of covering the royal family.  This morning, one particular TV presenter gleefully said on morning television, that no one wanted Harry and that he could probably pitch a tent somewhere on the Sandringham estate.  As she said these mean words she had this vicious little smile, she probably never met the prince.  She's just a mean little person, who enjoys being mean because she knows she can get away with it.  Simply a despicable person.

As for Harry, what's wrong with a hotel room.  He was not about to crash at his brother's, or his father's, the royals who like him, generally live abroad, which should tell you something.

Harry went to see his father who is possibly receiving chemotherapy, which would explain the weakness.  Once he has seen his him, well that's it for now.  William will have to wait for another day, considering that William has a lot on his plate, first a recovering wife from serious surgery, additional royal duties, and three children.   

Harry with a lot of dignity, went to see his father, wished him well and then went home.  Harry and Megan have made the only choice they could for their family.  America is the choice and there is no scenario where a return could occur.  

Frankly, like at the coronation, Harry showed maturity, did what was necessary and then left to avoid detracting from the royal circus.  This is not his show, his show is in California!

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...
