I don't share comments

To those who read my commentaries please understand that this is a one-way conversation, largely with myself.  I have no axe to grind or agenda.   There are never any comments posted to my page, which is a choice you are welcome to send me comments and sometimes I read them, other times not so much.   If you are rude, I will try to block you.  But again, I would say that I read comments once a month, at best.  The last comments I read were in early February.   

Why, again this is not a dialogue, it is a monologue, my blog my choice.  Also my subject, sure some of you are fascinated by the fall of China.   China is not falling it is declining, not the same thing.   China is doing what Britain did after 1945, sinking into irrelevance.  The stuff I talk about is bad, but outside of China, it impacts no one.   

I am very glad to see that a few hundred of you like to read what I post.  I am glad that I provided you with entertainment and some good ideas.   The funniest comments were about Bitcoin and how I was lying about my success (it was not a success, it was not planned).   It was an accident.   

As farmers, we have been incredibly lucky.  The land we initially purchased (the old farm) was an excellent starter farm considering the land had laid fallow for almost 20 years,  The new farm is more challenging but will over the next 5 or 7 years be fully integrated.   Those who sent comments on our choice of equipment and farming decisions (it has been a few months) I thank you, and I even replied to one or two who asked about certain products we were using.   

So please understand if you cannot send comments (I only accept comments from UK ISPs) and if I don't answer your questions or engage in a dialogue.   It's simply not why the blog was started.  Thank you for your patience.

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...
