Olives are now $3 per can, the prices for olives are way too high. The way to reduce prices is to grow more olives to increase the supply. So, I started looking for places in Nevada to grow olives. Siri said that olives will not grow in Battle Mountain, it is too cold in the winter in Battle Mountain for olives to grow; but olives will grow in Paradise Valley, Nevada.

Paradise Valley, Nevada, is a very cool old Cowboy town with an old post office, I lived there with my family in an old travel trailer and we used to walk to the Post Office to get the mail and to send letters. Land in Paradise Valley is very cheap and it would be a great place to grow olives. Farmers can hire the farm workers from the United Farm Workers and they can plant olive trees in Paradise Valley, Nevada.

Then for canning, there is the Stayton Cannery in Oregon that is 500 miles from Paradise Valley, Nevada. The cannery needs help.

---------

The Stayton plant was the original location for the Stayton Canning Company, which later became NORPAC. It dates back to 1924 and until 2013 also was the site of its corporate offices. NORPAC, a co-operative company for processing vegetables owned by farmer members, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Aug.Sep 6, 2019

----------

They can grow olives in Paradise Valley, Nevada, and then they can send the olives to the cannery in Stayton, Oregon.

They can also make olive oil, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Here is a cool story from when we lived in Paradise Valley, Nevada, when I was a child... There was a dog that would show up everyday with a ball in its mouth, and it would drop the ball and we would play fetch for a while, and then when the dog got tired then it would take its ball and go home.

Paradise Valley, Nevada, would be a nice safe place for the refugees to grow olives. There is a song by Bocelli about taking the vulnerable to a safe place, and Paradise Valley is a nice safe place. And they can bring in fun architects, they can invite Santiago Calatrava to build there, etc.

Then, they can send the olives to the cannery in Stayton, Oregon, and they can process the olives and can them and also make olive oil, etc. Then they can ship the olives from Stayton to all over the world. It could become a huge operation. And Grandma and our family there all worked canning corn, etc. Jobs canning olives are good for the local economy there.

And they can have schools, and libraries, and good grocery stores, and Cub Scouts, and Church, and Kiwanis International, etc.

Breaking news...shown on my tv screen just now...

You can now smell like the President!

Donald has released a new fragrance line ... called "Fight Fight Fight".

And to make sure, having used the fragrance, that you're always on time, a Trump watch.

The Christians in Syria are asking for prayers, as the Islamic terrorists take over.
Trump says "not our fight".
Fair enough, why should Amercans die in a foreign war...America is not being invaded.
Exactly why Australia must make or buy some sort of nuclear weapons for when the invasion from up north comes.
Expert said recently we could only last 6 months in a war, if that long.

  Was Trumps guilty verdict vacated by Merchan? Has something changed since late May?

I thought that the jury is the only voice that matters.  At least, where there is the rule of law.  And in countries where payoffs to porn stars are not an official duty of office.

The synagogue in Melbourne that was fire-bombed...was fire-bombed and destroyed previously,  in 1995.
A man who was a Holocaust survivor, was a very good architect. He helped redesign and rebuild the synagogue.
A merciful twist of fate saw him pass away (which was very sad) several hours before the recent fire-bombing.
His family says they are very relieved that they didn't have to inform him of the latest horror involving his beloved creation.

Also PNG. PNG almost signed up with them.
Enter Australia with $650m to fund a rugby league team for rugby league mad PNG to enter the NRL in Australia.
The Kumuls is the national rugby league team of PNG.

After basically doing nothing much about anti-Semitism in Australia since the Oct 7 horrors in Israel...Albo has announced a $32.5m package to provide security for all Jewish sites in Australia.
He also announced that the fire-bombing of the synagogue in Melb was a terror attack...which now gets the anti terror guys and gals involved.

The world needs for me to be rich like Richard Branson so that I can help to make the world a better place. Or like Edgar Bronfman Jr who owned Universal for a short time, he was a powerful man for a little while, but they still have Seagram's 7.

I could help the poor if I was rich, and I could help with world peace.

We need for the Christians to have power in the Middle East and to be allies with Israel and the Jews. We need to send the Latin American prisoners to the Middle East to Lebanon, etc, complete with prostitutes as wives, and the Christians can help to bring peace and prosperity to the region. And Claudia Sheinbaum can help in Lebanon, along  with Giorgia Meloni, and King Philip of Spain. Pope Francis can also help.

And we need to support Kiwanis International and the Peace Corps, etc, and Youth For Christ, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.
