Royal Family (revised)

As a royalist watching the "show" now on display is somewhat disquieting.  Two things are evident, the King is sicker than Buckingham Palace has led the public to believe, and Princess Kate's hospital stay was also more serious than anyone suggested.  In both cases, I think it is justified, that the real health of the King or the wife of the heir is none of our business.  It is more than enough to know that they both are battling their own challenges.

The hatred for Harry and Megan continues unabated.  The source has to be the palace, if it wanted peace it would signal that it did.  The crown in the past would have beheaded for less, so excluding Harry and Megan is a reasonable position.  The press, well they just want to sell papers.

When Harry visited his father for all of 40 minutes, my guess is that he came over under false pretense.  It seems now that a weekend with his father at his Sandringham estate was dangled as an incentive, instead he got a 40-minute conversation, where apparently he and his father were constantly interrupted for one thing or the other.  Hence the disconnect that Harry found a last-minute hotel room.  

First, there is no going back for Harry and Megan.  This last visit was proof that the hatred remains, again in the distant past such treachery would have ended Harry in the Tower.  He travelled for more than 24 hours for a 40-minute conversation and understood that this was it.  there is no possible reconciliation with his father or his family.  They do not want it.  

Colouring the comments he made on Good Morning America, he was diplomatic, but it is now clear with the flurry of announcements from California that the couple knows there will never be any form of reconciliation.  Think about how they were kicked out of the house, which he and Megan renovated at great expense, and it still stands empty today.  As for their children, they may visit, but it's unlikely they are after all they will be considered "half-black" and their treatment in the UK tabloid will always be awful.  Who needs that?

In the end, the Harry and Megan episode will be a small footnote in the Firm.  Harry said it best in his memoir -- he was the spare, and once William had children, he held no value to the Royal family.  

Note:  On the 28th of February the High Court ruled against Harry & Megan having security while in the UK (despite them offering to pay for such security), the message is clear, if Harry returns to the UK he is at great risk of physical attack (there are always crazies out there).  In effect, the high court has banned Harry and Megan from visiting.  The message is -- STAY AWAY!

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 ...
