Renovation


Shelter is to offer people protection against nature’s destructive elements; fires and floods. With climate change now here; the hottest days, the highest level of rainfall, building structures to shelter people, with all conveniences, must now be mobile. The housing estate neighborhoods, with foundation structures, are extremely vulnerable, on high ground to bush fires and in low lying areas to floods. Insurance premiums are on the rise and long-term financing is very difficult to secure. Mobile Homes, built upon a vehicle trailer chassis, present the best solution. Financed with a car type loan, insured similarly, parked next to the existing foundation house and moved to rented lands as required for safety.

Agriculture ‘An Economic Driver’


Water preservation is the key to the agriculture industry success. Put simply, without sufficient or with too much, no growth is inevitable. Water quality also plays a big role. Stored water, over time, deposits chemicals at the container bottom, resulting in over treated water. Flood waters moves chemicals from the surface into the sea, leaving mal-nourish soil. Climate change brings long hot days of scorching temperatures and days of heavy rainfall and floods, both to destroy animals and crops; the food supply. The science calls for treated, constantly circulating water, reaching plants’ roots and in reach of animal bodies.

National Budget


Many suggestions were mentioned in the Oct 7, 2019 Budget Speech. The inclusion of multi-year forecasting was mentioned. The assignment of lands to construction contractors to build low cost housing was included. But the public has long recognized that many subjects mentioned and included in Budget Presentations can be long-term objectives, dependent on resources or just Political Promises. Giving an opinion the day after this Budget is fruitless, unprofessional and mostly seen as political bating. The first assessment of the figures, laid in parliament and not yet approved, must be to verify the actuals that new estimates are anchored too. Hence, A multi-year Review of the Economy is essential.

Within a single country, Trade also refers to the movement of Goods along a Distribution Channel at wholesale and retail prices. Comprising, in most cases, a Transportation (Freight over sea, land or by air) cost, which may also attract custom duties and other taxes into the tradeable price. Protecting the Goods, via handling cost, and its assigned value via insurance policies along its journey from producer to consumer. The word ‘TRADE’ hardly enters the conversation when speaking about the extractive (Drilling and Mining) industry but in much the same way, the legal rights to operate within a geographic zone is trade-able.

Imports, consisting of Raw Materials, Machinery, Parts and Other Inputs, and Finished Products, further categorized as non-consumables and consumables are granted entry by local legal regulations. Such Goods are publicly listed by customs, described and constantly updated, for the purpose of import tariffs (Taxes) to protect local jobs for a short period, while the local industry develops. Noting, the larger the tariff, the more disincentive is placed on these imported Goods to compete with the local price. Hence, the local industry is called to quickly ramp up production and lower its unit price. The immediate response, from the Country of Origin, is most likely to protect their owe economy from exports, from this protectionist country, measured by ‘Balance of TRADE’.

Stopping Mass Murders


A loner, never learning to get along. Would have never been involved in Sports and Games, which teaches and exposes players and participants to life’s basic lessons. It is the quiet ones, with deep unspoken thoughts subject to bullying and hate, silently plotting revenge, never having made or been a part of a team. A team, which is only as strong as its weakest player, will cause individuals to bond and learn that today’s opponent is tomorrow’s teammate. There will never be a magic solution. But through social interaction people can learn to simply respect each other and form a personal peaceful non-violent resolution.
