Gm nostriches, my Thursday out of the fiat mine may not look quite as I’d like, with a trip to the vet with the #catst (just a check up), so bike ride may not happen (MAY), but #coffeechain and other cat telling me enjoyment comes from within. Some tough watching on the news from the inquest into the Nottingham Stabbings a couple of years back, parents have been through a nightmare. Truly sickening hearing about all the “second chances” and “benefits of the doubt” that were given, but also true incompetence of the police for not locking the killer up sooner. No empathy for the perpetrators of these crimes, and no personal responsibility for their actions, mental health cannot be an actually “get out of jail free” card. On question, how did that monster get indefinite leave to remain?

Gm nostriches, barrelling through the week into the upcoming 4am arrival at the airport for a week away. Not feeling so busy at work so a little more time to work in the old tone but interesting, high tech homeless set up on the way into work. Ngl, when talking to the kids, I say some people prefer the homeless life, much less stress (rat race bull shit) and if you can combine that with a relatively warm safe place to sleep, maybe with a dog outhouse, the “prefer the homeless life” is a much easier argument to make. #coffeechain So as if meningitis fears weren’t enough, new “chicken pox in year x” letter from the kid’s school. And some wonder why kids are stressed out. Peace freaks, work to be done.

Gm nostriches, loving my new Tuesday routine of heading to school on the bikes with the first born. #catstr hanging out on the car unsure about this two wheels business!!!

Anyone for a high yield bond? 10y gilt may just be what you’re looking for, but “risk free” isn’t a label that is all honesty I can give to them. Emerging market characteristics, will this begin to cause some crack propagation?

Interest piece of private credit, all so “nothing to see here” until Jim Cramer wades in with opinion. New assessment of the situation, we’re proper fucked. Had assets freaks, jettison the yield products and diminish counter part risk!

Gm nostriches, happy Monday freaks. Hope you have an exciting week ahead of you. Final week of term for me, maybe some messages to send out to some OG’s to see if they want to get in on a little project (research not $$$$$). Interesting news item from Germany, given how well this strategy worked for Canada, but, didn’t they also import a ton of working (or was that fighting) age men from other countries….. what, those guys were never interested in working?!??!?!? Germany returns to being the sick man of Europe. #coffeechain no.1 sorted, blooms on the magnolia, coffee no.2 is oh so tempting, but time to wake the fam for the week.

Ge nostriches, while the phantom menace is by far the worst of the first 6 Star Wars, it’s major issue was the trade federation being the bad guy but we never got to learn their motives, hmmm, unfair taxes, a lack of representation, they never cover it, they are only labelled as “greedy” Watching it now with the current trade federation (the US and their dollar) are now attempting to re exert their power, then are the oil producing nations (or indeed Iran as the black sheep of the Middle East) the early rebel forces, pushing to destabilise the entrenched powers with the aim of starting something new. Add in a droid army (drones) compared to the starships and clone (us army personnel or even NATO) and George Lucas could present himself as a prophet, predicting the future. Interestingly there are a good few people I could label as being members of the Sith, and even those that think they’re the Jedi, “there is no good or evil, only power, and those to weak to seek it”, problem is, everyone appears to be wanting the power, without the patience to develop the force!!!

Gm nostriches, happy sunny Sunday. “This could have all been prevented if everyone had been vaccinated” hmmm, it’s as if the government had designed this, and carefully selected the people to include on the news reel. “Vaccine good everyone”, next time there is a mystery pandemic you’ll know what you’ll need to do. On the plus, at least this vaccine wasn’t rushed, but I would be interested if it was tested against a blind placebo, rather than just a difference vaccine, freaks, with vaccines, it’s worth remembering it’s turtles all the way down. #catstr #coffeechain

Strange YouTube suggestion. Loving finding out about the artwork on the front of The Fountainhead. Tamara de Lempicka, interesting lady.
