Liz Truss

Ms Truss is an MP for a constituency in South West Norfolk, that has voted Torie since the 1960s. She stands as the personification of why I left the party.  In her constituency the elections are won at the selection committee level and as such Ms Truss can stand as an MP for a very long time.  

One of her more unattractive features is her ability to blame everything on everyone else. I will admit that I have only met her twice, and that was with a group of Tories supporters (some years ago) long before she became the shortest-tenured Prime Minister.  

As a politician, her most attractive feature is that she's a woman.  Unfortunately, that's the extent of her positive features, and that is evidently not enough.  She grew up in what could charitably be considered an ultra-left-wing household to well-educated parents who thought so much of communism that they briefly moved the Poland...which may explain Ms Truss' own diametrically opposed political views.

For a while now she has been ranting about how she was torpedoed by the Deep State on her prime ministership.  She's absolutely right.  Both the Civil Service and the party realized that she was nuts, and that's telling when you consider that she's in the Conservative Party.  Her replacement Rishi Sunak is a lot smarter and driven by other things than personal aggrandizement, not that it will change the outcome, let's be honest here, the Tories are screwed.

Still, every time I hear Ms Truss open her mouth, or even articles about her, my reaction is visceral, it's like with Trump or Farage, I just don't want to know what they have to say.  I skipped the article or changed the channel.  I know that whatever comes out of her mouth will be a lie!

That's deadly for a politician, but her supporters still seem to love her, and despite the massive slap she got from the Party, she's still running as a conservative member...it tells you everything you need to know about her.  It's not about King and Country, it's about Liz.

Note: Ms Truss is not our MP, our farm is not in her constituency, its close but not in it.  Still a conservative stronghold...

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...
