New visa fees

 honestly, it’s like the Americans don’t want any tourist. In Trump‘s big beautiful bill, a small addition to travelling foreigners expenses was added. A new $250 fee which in some circumstance could be reimbursable. Personally, I wouldn’t hold my breath.It is evident, that we are seeing the beginning of Fortress America. They don’t want foreigners, they don’t want imports, they we rich and alone. Close the border, close the blinds and tell everyone to go home.

in other news, the Epstein scandal continues. The way Donald Trump has enlisted the help of every agency in the government, including Congress, tells you everything you need to know about this scandal. Donald Trump is implicated. To go back in history, it’s important to understand that everything about the Epstein controversy, there I say. conspiracy, has been driven by Maga and especially by Trump. If you go back the past five years, all the drivers behind the Epstein conspiracy, was driven by the far right movement, the Talking Heads would talk about it almost every day.

Suddenly, it’s a conspiracy by the Democrat. To understand how insane this is, you have to have the mindset of Donald Trump, who has had an amazing ability at diverting public opinion from whatever is important.

Anyway, forget the $250 fee. There are plenty of reasons not to travel to America right now. The fee, is just a cherry on the Sunday. There’s nothing to see here, move along, move along.!

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...
