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.

As politics of hate, broken and warring parties, lets many in society down, other forms of unity, mostly build on single or interlocking issues, will raise to accomplish success and constantly improve living conditions. Hence, persons who have accomplished some level of success are now in a position to guide others and build on that success to benefit all.

Trade ‘An Economic Driver’


Trade is a very big word. Commonly used to refer to (Import and Export) Trade of basic items between nations’ producers and consumers. 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.
