Peaches and Dulcinea: Topical train (sort of)

This defies explanation, since I do not watch the latest Bond films unless they're on Freebie TV.

Wut?

But a headline in the top-news news said

(? doesn't say a lot)

What did UK divulge, give up, trade over?

"M" or what passes for the head of MI-something.

Was there a biggie merger, was there an election they messed with,
Did they want some satellite intelligence?

Well, hell, IDK, it was a train of thought I might add to, if I don't erase.

My train (a day later) concerns musk vs Trump.
If musk was losing money because DOGE, He's smart/rich enough to cook up a plan that eventually will make Trump and Musk best friends again and make stockholders happy.
It's convoluted, like placing tariffs, removing them, placing them,
But it makes sense, in a High-finance way.

Oh.
Nevermind.

The secret goings on of high finance are a mystery novel I don't really read.

(Wut?)

I'm here writing this but I could be at a bus stop soon hugging my little phone.....

It depends upon how nice the overlords are.

Reaaaallly rich people don't muck around with "Credit", leveraging their assets, o no.
They get "Debentures" issued by their fellow tycoons...
And no, I have no idea of what I am saying, but here, read this before you cast stones.

Anyway, I wondered if I'd ever have to explain why Abigail Johnson is on the windows-directory, along with my budget.

If SHE were my overlord, she'd forgive the few hundred I still owe....

There is another woman, much richer, who looks exactly like the bad guy in a "Columbo" episode, if you still remember who that is,

and I fear my stuff would wither beneath her gaze and my new home at the bus stop would be an inevitability.

Anyway...
What do THESE women think of Trump's tariffs, if they think about them at all?

They don't know yet. Maybe, maybe not.

Investment counselors know who Stephen Miran is, and what section 899 of the budget bill is,

and I don't and wouldn't even try to bombast.

People in movies and such (I'm thinking) transfer funds via computer to banks in the Cayman Islands, or invest in Crypto.

If Trump could Ruin the normal economy forcing people to switch to crypto, I'd think that would make him happy.

Weak currency=higher prices (right?)
I don't get it.

Businesses profiting off (the list is long) war, covid, supply chains, and tariffs, and gas prices, and taxes, and research, The future.

https://www.axios.com/2025/06/04/trump-tariffs-prices is credit for the picture I didn't read much of...

I just think they stay topical to blame something or somebody to raise prices.
The weather. Unemployment.

The best jobs out there are in sales.
You could sell a burned-out, empty lot for a million dollars!! I really need links.
Anyway yeah.
Be a salesman

Whatever you believe or can conceive of, someone else believes it too and wrote about it first.
Eggs are cheaper under Trump, this headline says.
But are they cheap?

hmm

The largest price drop since 1984!!
(But are they cheap?)

https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/egg-prices-adjusted-for-inflation/

$2.61 was very high in 2015.
NOW there'd be a riot to get them before they ran out at that price.

I wanted to add a current supermarket price to prove my point, but it's redundant.
Believe whatever the hell you want, the internet will back you up.

Whatever you believe (It's on the top of this page)

This was done three days ago, but newer interesting stuff keeps popping up.

This section should be read with tongue firmly in cheek, a winking eye, several Margaritas (with large grains of salt on the glass) and whatever else you need to put down that phone (lol):

Consider that the rich and powerful will become more so, and the worse stuff gets, the more they profit.
Well that's my 3AM-train, anyway.

figure (on my own with no help) that global warming = air conditioners, water pumps (for flooding) and sky-high housing (biggie towers).
Polluted air = more air cans to sell to people wishing for freshness.
Riots = powerful robots
gridlock? Helicopters, jets.

It's the good life for anyone billionaire-ish.

Watch "Original Star trek", they'll tell you

We still need really fast trains and cheap labor to lay tracks for them and scientists to figure out "Mag Lev" but the current sentiment is, only commuters use trains, the rich would rather go to mars, and jet everywhere else. Wikipedia wrote a very optimistic article but it's dated.
