Library incentive

I want to read Mr Tight Fist's book but don't want to give him any money. I have many questions about his decisions. I want to know why he increased our imcome tax allowance yet also increased VAT from 17.5 to 20%.

I want to know why he told us we need austerity yet had money to launch a persistent air strike against Libya. I want to know why he gave us printed documents that stated his government would implement the referendum result yet he quit when we voted to leave. I want to know why he thinks public money should be spent on one of the biggest foreign aid budgets in the world, some of which is wasted dramatically yet    education was cut so students have to pay the whole cost of their higher education. I have many more questions but I won't go on.

I looked in the charity shops yet it was not there; it would probably have scuff marks where people kicked the book across the room if it was there. I guess I need to get a library membership and borrow the book. I wouldn't be surprised if the library was invented for that very reason; to allow people to get answers about decisions without giving any money to the person.

Food logic

I don't know it it is just me but I often get told by people that food is too expensive and I think to myself, why?

I then find out that they were buying ready meals and fast food. I thought to myself. Food is cheap if you want it to be. You can buy rice that lasts for a month and get change from £10. You can buy a sack of potatoes and unions for less than five pounds. Bread costs about 50p if you know where to look.

All you need is spices and oil to make the food taste good if you are cooking vegetables.

There is nothing wrong with buying fast food and ready meals but if getting food is difficult then you need to plan ahead and make sure your cupboards are filled up before you treat yourself.

Fridge and fro

Earlier this morning the temperature dropped to 4°c. The early morning frost is nearly here, it is not quite reaching the ground yet. If I was to guess, I would think the frosty air drops down to about 200 metres above ground and cools down the air below it to the temperature of a fridge. I will see if we get frost before daylight saving in 3 weeks time. Seeing frost in the morning before the clocks go backwards 1 hour is my comfort that the Earth can recover from climate change after the oil runs out. Its quite obvious that the world we live in now is warmer wetter and windier than it was when I was born over 35 years ago; more and more energy is staying in the atmosphere for longer.

If I see frost in the morning before October the 27th then I will think to myself that permanent land ice won't melt and flood our big cities. I will think that the Earth won't have a chain reaction and turn into Venus, a spherical oven like planet  that can't support life. I will give myself a silly man's comfort.

What is special about October the 27th. It is the day when the day time and night time are the same length on the island of Britain.

Now I ask one thing. I ask the people of Earth to invent the low cost high capacity power cell. A small box that can store large amounts of electrical power but cost less than lithium batteries. The person that does that will change the world more that any living person alive today. They will make the electric car affordable to ordinary people like me and allow power stations to be turned into batteries that store excess power during the day and release it at night. It will become cheaper to heat your house with electricity than with fire within five years if we have such a breakthrough.

People... Invent the low cost high capacity battery. As fast as you can.

What September 2019 means to me

It is October now, mid autumn. The clocks go backwards one hour in the last week of this month. I will see if any frost comes before then. It is hard to believe we will be in a new decade in 3 months time.

September seemed to go by very fast. My son Jacob changed quite a lot. He is bigger, more stubborn and more determined to learn about the world. Having an infant child is a bit like holding a Polaroid picture when it has just come out of the camera. You wait and observe them but never know what they will be like until some time has passed by.

I got an old school radio and used it when cleaning.  Throughout this month I worked hard, labouring through the night and trading in the morning, parenting in the afternoon and sleeping in the evening.

I had two weeks of and used the time to rest and create many things. I even created and edited a documentary video on my phone for you tube.

If I was to coin a name for this season, I would call it the autumn of fear because the world around us is changing very fast, much of the high Street retail is crumbling away, Thomas cook went bankrupt and closed down and some others on the continent went also and my country is having a geopolitical divorce with it's nearby trading block, no one knows what will happen when the agreement is reached; we could stay the same or be driven into poverty or do well. No one knows, not even the experts. 

What is in store for the 20s decade? I will try to record history from my point of view as truthfully as possible and be a reliable source of history for generations to come.

Electric travel

I don't know if it was just me but I thought that electric cars would be cheaper than fuel cars.

I mean, there is no cooling system, no clutch, no device to turn fuel into an aerosol spray, no spark plugs no exhaust pipe, no fuel pump, no fan...

You get the idea.

The engine of an electric car is just an electric motor and batteries, that's it.

I guess it is the batteries that make it expensive because they use lithium, one of the strangest metals that I know of.. Lithium floats on water and also burns up when it touches water, yet it is a metal. A rare metal that is expensive and hard to work with.

If a better and cheaper battery system is invented then the world will change very quickly, cheap electric cars will become normal.

Heat in the house

If they placed the ectoplasm from Ghostbusters 2 movie inside parliament this week, it would have smothered the royal mace and turned it into a pipe bomb.

Tempers were very high and explosive. I think the little hope I had they would cooperate as a chamber is gone. They will continue to discredit  and shout at each other for the remainder of this decade.

I don't know what the 20s decade will be like but the last 3 months of this decade are set out for all to see.

Greta Thunberg

The Swedish teenaged activist Greta Thunberg is very angry with the world leaders for choosing profit and growth over the environment. Her face looks like she wants kill someone. I think she needs to drink some English tea and look at the other side of things, the Swedish tea isn't as good as the English one.

In my view, carbon dioxide and methane are gasses that are good at trapping heat and heating up the Earth and there is a big hazard of causing a global disaster, but I think that they will run out. There is a limited amount of natural gas and crude oil on Earth. When the oil runs out then the problem is fixed. Am I the only person that thinks this way? I see the prices rising all the time and there is an economic pressure for people like me to get more efficient vehicles or electric ones. Very soon all cars will be powered by electricity. Hopefully I will be able to afford one in the near future.
