billionaires in Argentina

 This is gonna sound unhinged, I was at a dinner three nights ago in London, where the conversation at one point veered towards my friends family ranch in Argentina. He indicated that his parents had sold their 60,000 Hectare ranch. To some American billionaire.

What surprise me was that my friend told me that several Massive ranches had changed hands in Argentina recently. What surprise, my friend, was that these were not just acquired as real asset investments rather these ranches were being equipped with ultra luxurious housing and independent power supplies.  granted, it’s a bit Rich for me to say such a thing considering our own farms, power needs and how they’re being met. 

our farm currently operates on nearly 3000 acres of land, so 60,000 hectares is so much larger. It’s like comparing millions and billions. To give a sense of proportion, the main Ranch house is 6 miles from the closest public road.

granted, all the information my friend has is now secondhand, but it remains that in these remote parts of Argentina it’s not that hard to figure out what’s going on. Bottom line these American billionaires are building, massive compounds, isolated, and safe, and more importantly, largely and anonymous.

The joke has always been with the shelters, bomb shelters really that American billionaires have been building in the hundreds, is that these are limited by the amount of diesel and spare parts you have available. A ranch in Argentina, which is remote and has complete energy and food. Independence is an entirely different story. The closest town, to my friends ranch was 75 km away. It gives to the reader a sense of distances and size.

if I’m an Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg and I’m very well known, I remote ranch in Argentina seems to be a good place to lay low for a few years. And these are the ones we know, they are many billionaires that are completely Anonymous, whose faces are absolutely not recognizable and who could walk in a town in The middle of Argentina, And be unrecognized. A massive ranch in Argentina is much better than a 300 foot long mega yacht few things and breakdown and anonymity is a lot easier to achieve.

As I said, this does sound unhinged, but it does fit a pattern at one point the masses will wake up and realize that they’ve been bamboozled for 30 years if not longer. They won’t ask question, rage will overtake them,

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, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
