Goodbye to Stability

In December 2019, I was buying crappy spruce/pine two by six lumber from Home Depot for $4.95 a piece. Today, just fifteen months later, the price is $11.55.

Alex Salmond, former leader of the Scottish National Party launched Alba, his own Scotch separatist party, to contest the forthcoming Scotch election, in an attempt to unseat the Scottish National (i.e., separatist) Party. 

But one thing that has not changed is that some Scotch Nat will probably tell me "Scotch is a drink," which it certainly is, but it is also an English term for things Scotch — or Scottish as the Scotch insist — and English happens to be the language I'm using here. 

Tesla's stock market capitalization still exceeds the value of all other car companies combined, despite near zero profits, a price earnings multiple of around 1000 (assuming that Tesla's reported profits are not as fake as its "full self-driving" software), and a collapse in European market share to under 10%. So anyone who thinks Tesla is a solid, stable, long-term investment, should probably give that thought further thought.

The English nation, now largely ruled by Indian ex-patriates, are to be denied the freedom to travel abroad either for edification or enjoyment, such travel being now subject to a five-thousand-pound fine. However, the penalty can, obviously, be avoided by remaining abroad forever, which may be the best option.

Having been outbid by Britain and the US for the untested Covid vaccine of questionable efficacy, the EU has now abandoned the sanctity of contract by seizing vaccine manufactured in the EU under contract to the British Government.

Meantime, Prince Harry, Sixth in line to the throne, continues his campaign to denigrate the British monarchy as racist, no fair (the bastards cut off my money and free security detail), and just generally, pathetic trapped animals.

At a time of such turbulence, one wonders if it can be long before white people resume killing one another, probably in the name of anti-racism, in a resumption of the 1914-1944 European civil war? 

"The United States continues to stand with Ukraine and its allies and partners today, as it has from the beginning of this conflict. On this somber anniversary, we reaffirm a simple truth: Crimea is Ukraine," the Biden administration said on Feb.26.

"The United States does not and will never recognize Russia’s purported annexation of the peninsula, and we will stand with Ukraine against Russia’s aggressive acts." 
Meantime, the US Army is preparing to deploy, hypersonic missiles in Europe that can reach Russian targets in five minutes. In response, the Russians will presumably launch on warning. Is that suicidal, or what?

Oh, and the Chinese are now whinging about a US blood debt

With no money, an ineffective navy, and plans to reduce the ground forces by about 10,000 soldiers that will bring the British military to its smallest size in two hundred years, it is not clear how London can achieve its great ambition of surrounding Russia in the Arctic, Baltic Sea, Western Balkans and the Black Sea.
