Harry, Megan and the Royal Family

First, believe nothing of what you read in the newspapers, about Harry and Megan.  Trust only facts.  First, the king is still pissed with Harry, and the latest (and unnecessary) move to strike Harry's family from the Royal biography is at best petty at worse...well Andrew is still there!

There is no doubt that Harry would like to spend some time in the UK, it is after all his home.  He spent several years defending it, and he has a real and profound attachment to the place.  Their departure from the Royal merry-go-round occurred through a series of accidents.  Harry and Megan wanted to dramatically reduce their role as royals, first because a lot of it is meaningless ribbon cutting and Megan discovered that the royal family really didn't like her very much.  The initial idea was to cut 90% of their royal duties and no longer count on the British government's patronage.  Basically, they would continue to represent the Queen but would do this as unpaid work.   The Queen and the Royal household probably wanted to force Harry back by saying it was all or nothing.

To the Royal family's surprise, Harry and Megan chose "nothing", and left the country.

For them, the US is home, at least until Trump returns to power and expels Harry, for lying on his visa application (it seems that Harry did smoke some weed at one point...).  The truth is that Harry and Megan's brand value is far higher in the US than in the UK, their strategy to relaunch their brand, and the King's apparent support (by his own statement) is a clear indication.  Harry is being expunged from the Royal rolls.  The two of them have a few things going for them, and they would certainly not be the only ones using their notoriety to make a living.   

Harry is almost certainly disappointed by the King's recent actions.  But after his 48-hour lighting visit probably not surprised.  It could be worse

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 ...
