2.09.2020 Gizza a cheap fag?

Wednesday 2nd 53F, calm, a bright start with some cloud. Three quarters of an hour walk to the lanes to capture more ploughing.

The picture shows less than half of the whole field after seed drilling. Probably small beer by some standards. Google Earth shows it to be 1500x1000 yards. Several wet copses mark low points and are used for pheasant rearing and shooting.

If you want an example of inequality try Rolls Royce cars. With far less styling than a badly damaged, shoe box and costing £250,000, they can't build them fast enough to satisfy demand. 

 

Talk about a complete lack of taste and an excess of dodgy funds! Are government rescue funds being siphoned off into billionaire's business transport? How many of the new buyers are paying minimum wage? Apple executives, at the world's largest and richest modern slavery, must be queuing around the block. Does the Apple CEO get to be called Caesar after the Roman slave drivers?

 

Meanwhile arguments go on and on about providing free or subsidized school meals for the walking poor. In "social democratic" Denmark there is a huge difference in life expectancy for the educated classes compared to those without. The free-on-demand health system actually discriminates between the poor and the rich in providing its services. The major factors in ill health and life shortening disease are smoking and obesity. With poor diet and no exercise contributing to the statistics. Even Jinping Plague discriminates against the smoker and the obese. Darwin Awards anybody?

Whoops! A new headline in the Danish news. The government raised the tax on cigarettes to increase the price from 37 Danish Kroner to 50DKK. [£6] BUT! The genocidal sociopaths in the tobacco industry found a loophole. Cigarettes made before a certain date can be sold cheaply to the wholesaler. So the date of manufacture was never changed. The higher price, designed to reduce smoking amongst the young and lower educated, was never achieved.
