Britain has swallowed the "renewables now" drivel, and is closing its coke/coal - fired powered steel mills.
Britain makes, was making, arguably the best steel in the world.
Not anymore, changing to steel mills only fuelled by burning scrap steel.
Then also importing steel from China.
Massive hole in the national security fence?
Britain left vulnerable ...to meet its "net zero" targets...while China builds 2 new coal-fired power stations every week.
LOL

Your King calls American Steel companies and the steelworkers unions and work out a win/win deal to supply the Brits while they transition to renewables.

You can't make steel using renewables?

We are working on it.

That's good.
I'm all for clean air, but not for US warplanes built with inferior steel that fall apart in mid-air.
Quality steel, clean air, that above technology sounds promising.

Sky News:

'Massive threat': US sounds alarm 0ver China's nuclear expansion

"Over the last 30 years, Australia has been pursuing a strategy of engagement which has effectively handcuffed our country to China and their interest - so that we could sell wine and iron ore and coal to fuel their machine," Mr Parker told Sky News host
Erin Molan.

On the issue of planes falling apart in midair, I sent a message to Boeing on Facebook, I told them that the future of passenger travel is in Supersonic Travel, people want to hurry and get there, it is not like the 1960s when people wanted to have cocktails and party on the plane with food and women, etc. Now everyone is clean and sober and they just want to hurry and get there. They want planes like the Concorde only faster and quieter, and Boeing can design and build new planes in the Antelope Valley. NASA and Edwards are working on a new Supersonic Passenger Plane now that will be manufactured in North Carolina. Boeing can design and build new planes in the Antelope Valley, and they can train the workers at Antelope Valley College. AVC has an Aircraft Fabrication Program with a 90% job placement rate. Boeing can design and build new Supersonic Passenger Planes in the Antelope Valley.

And planes are not made out of steel anymore, they use Titanium, etc. Soon cars will not be made out of steel either. Meanwhile, we should maintain our own means of production.

Of note, if you fly now, then fly on the French planes. Boeing needs to fire everyone and they need to start fresh with new planes, and new workers, and they can build the new planes in the Antelope Valley, etc. They can design and test the new planes at Edwards, with NASA, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

It has to be in the top two of the most confederate, and by extension Nazi-vampire districts of the thirteen in the federal system.

It gives us one more thing to fix before 2026.

D Tele today;

Akerman:
Wave to Uganda as Australia passes it on our slide down the world's economic complexity ladder.


Through the identity politics of the Labor-Green coalition, Australia is plummeting towards the bottom of the world barrel, writes Piers Akerman.

We don't have an effective defence force.
We don't have a reliable energy supply.

Supporters of global terrorism are permitted to block streets in Sydney and Melbourne with police assent.


#####

That doesn't sound very good.
Guess it's cold and damp at the bottom of the barrel...doesn't sound very comfortable.
Oh well, such is life when you go around signing nuclear non-proliferation treaties instead of arming yourself with nuclear weapons, embrace 'net zero CO2 emissions' decades too soon, and allow anarchy on your streets.

Nah, that's my friend and former work colleague who also suffered long term bullying, harassment etc in the workforce.
Along the journey he was divorced, from which he never really recovered.
Then in the 15 years before retirement, a job in a club, rotating shifts, and life in his old and cluttered home...
he took refuge in food, and now finds himself disabled and in an aged care facility.
Sad really.
Lessons in this for everyone.

Go down, there is not always someone around to save you.

There is a movie that Frank Capra made that starred Frank Sinatra named "A Hole in the Head" and in the movie he says that success begets success and that money begets money. If you show up in a nice car, wearing a nice suit, then they are going to think you look like a winner and they will invest in you, but if they think you are a bum then you do not have a chance.

When I lived in Malibu it was awesome, they treated me great, and I had a maid from El Salvador who did my laundry, and made my bed, and washed my sheets, it was awesome, and all of the people there were so nice, and I love the beach, they brought out the best in me.

There is a house for sale in La Jolla for $108 Million that was designed for the Bourbon / Capetian Dynasty and I bet it is a great house in a great area, and I bet a place like that would beget success, and I bet it would foster creativity, etc.

And Bambu, do not worry about China, they are our friends, and we even have a Universal Studios in Beijing now, and Muzi attended Harvard.

For Iran, then we need for Queen Farah Pahlavi and Mahlagha Jaberi to help to take over Iran.

For Russia, then we need for the Russian Community in New York to help.

For Israel, then Mexico and Claudia Sheinbaum can help, and she can also help in Lebanon, and also New York can help. Petro from Colombia can also help, and Colombia can expand trade with New Orleans, Louisiana, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Fac, is La Jolla a nice area? Do they have good restaurants, and a good community? The Italians in Italy all loved San Diego, they asked about San Diego and Hollywood. I bet the Bourbon / Capetian Dynasty Mansion is nice, and there must be some reason they built it there. And they have a Lobster Farm, very cool. $108 Million is a lot, but for guys like William Randolph Hearst, and Aaron Spelling, and Hugh Hefner, etc, then Mansions are affordable.

Bambu, you are lucky to have Mrs Bambu and a home and a nice country, Australia is nice. I am sorry about your friend who fell upon hard times.

I was poor when I went to Malibu, I went to the nicest restaurant on Westward Beach in Malibu, it was named "Monroe's" after Marilyn Monroe, and I went there and I ordered the filet mignon and a Corona Beer. Then a cop came in, and said that there was a mad man on the loose in the area with a gun. So, I told the beautiful woman at the bar that if the mad man came in to flash her tits, and while he was busy looking at her tits then I would tackle him and take away the gun. So then we had a plan. Then the waiter served me my food, and everything was cool because we had a plan. While I was eating I explained to them that I wanted to live in Malibu, and they told me how to rent a room there. They told me to go to the Housing Office at Pepperdine University and find a room to rent in Malibu, so I found a great room in a house on the beach, and I used Roy Rogers as my Character Reference, and I got in. One of my roommates was the daughter of a Chinese General. The lady who owned the house was the ex-wife of Sammy Hagar's family doctor. Sammy was in our living room one night. We had art work that was done by Myles Davis, Myles was a patient of her ex. And I got a job as a driver for Gemstar, and we were the official limousine service for the Jay Leno Show. So, I went from being poor to living in Malibu, and driving stars in a limousine. So you just never know.

Also, we need to help the poor all the time, then if we need help then they will help us. Such as the Mental Health Association in Santa Ana, California, anyone can go there for help for any reason and they will receive help. The same with the Wellness Center in Orange, anyone can go there for help for any reason. We also have the Catholic Charities.

For housing for the aged, we have Leisure World in Laguna Beach, California, and they ride horses on the beach at Midnight, and they drink champagne and eat strawberries by the pool.

We also have home nurses who help old people to grow old and die at home, instead of in a retirement home, etc.

In Orange County we have Cal Optima and everyone in Orange County has Health Care and everyone can go to the Wellness Center, or to the Mental Health Association, to get help for any need.

I think God is going to send me a good wife, and my movie script will be a huge success, and my poetry book will be huge like Maya Angelou, and we will see what happens. My Golden Years might be amazing.

Salute,

Tony V.
