Jay Kuo at The Status Kuo:

Trump keeps bullying our allies, and this won’t end well. If you’re keeping score, he has now threatened Canada, Mexico, Panama, Denmark, and now (checks notes) Colombia. Four out of five of those countries are within our own hemisphere, and Trump seems bent on rewriting the rules entirely around American dominance in this part of the world. It won’t be achieved only through the strength of our markets or the power of our ideas and values. It will be at the receiving end of an economic gun. That is a gigantic, jaw-dropping departure from the basic rules of the post-war world order, which has always had as its baseline economic interdependence and mutual respect. It’s important to track what’s happening and how this could affect things both in the short term and over the coming years.

Tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico… maybe?

The clock is ticking on Trump’s threatened tariffs on our neighbors Canada and Mexico, with 25 percent tariffs on all goods set to begin on February 1.

Yes, that’s the end of this week. It isn’t clear whether Trump will actually impose them as threatened, or if they remain some kind of perverse negotiating ploy. But the uncertainty continues to spook markets and cause big exporters and importers to put contingency plans in place. You’ve also probably seen and experienced this: Egg prices are already spiking to record highs from shortages of poultry due to widespread outbreaks of Avian Flu. In some states, like California, the shortages are causing eggs to rise to $9 a dozen. And egg producers are having trouble sourcing healthy hens, with the price on those soaring as well. The situation is being exacerbated by a moratorium on communications and advisories from our key health departments and agencies, meaning we might not even get to hear directly from the government how bad things have gotten with the bird flu and where the outbreaks are most impactful. A trade war with our neighbors could send prices of many other goods soaring, too, particularly petroleum products, lumber and fresh produce. And in any event, both of our neighbors will now seriously consider how to scale back their dependency on the U.S. market and explore ways to diversify their risk.

Bullying our allies is not sound policy.

When John Jobbagy’s grandfather immigrated from Budapest in 1900, he joined a throng of European butchers chopping up and shipping off meat in a loud, smelly corner of Manhattan that New Yorkers called the Meatpacking District. Today only a handful of meatpackers remain, and they’re preparing to say goodbye to a very different neighborhood, known more for its high-end boutiques and expensive restaurants than the industry that gave it its name. Jobbagy and the other tenants in the district’s last meat market have accepted a deal from the city to move out so the building can be redeveloped, the culmination of a decades-long transformation. “The neighborhood I grew up in is just all memories,” said Jobbagy, 68. “It’s been gone for over 20 years.” In its heyday, it was a gritty hub of over 200 slaughterhouses and packing plants at the intersection of shipping and train lines, where meat and poultry were unloaded, cut and moved quickly to markets. Now the docks are recreation areas and an abandoned freight line is the High Line park.

In Memoriam: Pluto in Capricorn

Y'all Mind if I Go Listicle on This One

setting the scene- pluto first entered capricorn on january 25th, 2008. retrograde sent it back to sagittarius for a few months over the summer (6/14/08 - 11/25/08) and 11/26/08 and beyond, it's been pluto in capricorn. pluto is currently in its final degree of capricorn. we had brief previews of pluto in aquarius (3/23/23 - 6/11/23 and 1/20/24 - 9/1/24), and from the afternoon of 11/19/24 forward, we will be in pluto in aquarius until 2043.

a sampler of news headlines from january/early february 2008:

"Stock markets around the world plunge amid growing fears of a U.S. recession, fueled by the 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis."

"U.S. President George W. Bush says Israel must return to its pre-1967 borders to enable the establishment of a Palestinian state."

in summary- end of Bush presidency, 2008 election, bird flu, attempts at nicotine control, war against Palestinians, imminent economic collapse, Russia/Ukraine, hollywood on strike, recalled meat, also several countries trying to get YouTube outlawed. imagine!

Wow crazy! What's Pluto's deal?

what does it mean for pluto to be in capricorn? pluto is the planet of transformation, destruction, rebirth, hidden truths, generational/societal shifts, and it's currently in capricorn, the sign of practicality, hard work/professional ambition, and leadership. capricorn, the zodiac's father figure. the merger of the two means slow-moving and long-lasting change in life/career path, family/societal structures (i.e patriarchy), financial systems, so on. pretty telling that we started this transit with a global financial crisis and now we're......here! posts circulate periodically about empires lasting ~250 years, which is about as long as it takes for a pluto return. if we're taking the US to have been "born" on 7/4/1776, the US' natal pluto placement is capricorn! never in the history of the US has pluto been back into its birth sign of capricorn until 2008. this placement means the US's foundation is one of these qualities listed above- built on patriarchy, conservatism, so on. this pluto return was technically in 2022 (around 27 degrees capricorn) and the effects could be felt +/- a few years on each side, since pluto moves so slowly. i think most would say the US (as we've known it) has been forced to confront the ugly sides of its foundations since 2020!

anyway, on with the pop culture highlight reel for pluto in capricorn. remembering the themes i described above (conservative/family values, patriarchy, financial systems, etc), let us look back.....

What Happened to the VW Bus? Is It Coming Back?

Actually, nothing happened to the VW bus. It just became less popular, temporarily, in the United States. And yes, it is coming back in a big way!

After the 1970s, the U.S. shut down VW bus manufacturing since the popular van was no longer was able to meet new safety and emissions standards. Production continued in Brazil, however, until 2014, when Brazil enacted new standards that the current model of the bus couldn’t meet. When that happened, the German production factory shut down its production after 63 years – the longest running time of any vehicle ever.

Now, many people are excited to learn the Volkswagen Bus is coming back next year, in 2024 – as the ID. Buzz (yes, that is its name!). It’s electric, eclectic and brings back a hint of the hippie movement psychedelic nostalgia with its neon colors: tangerine, lime, grape and more. Volkswagen is hoping to once again earn the respect and admiration of a new generation of car buyers.

One reason the VW bus became obsolete was its failing safety measures. No matter what you choose to drive, being safely prepared for the road by purchasing affordable car insurance will ensure your favorite vehicle never goes out of style.

The Peculiar History of the VW Bus

Although many people in the U.S. think of the iconic Volkswagen bus as the original hippie van from the 1960s, it has a different association in Europe, where it was born in Germany in the 1940s. Colloquially called the VW Bus in America and the VW Camper in the UK, the Volkswagen bus was modeled after the German Plattenwagen, a vehicle originally made to carry car parts. Dutch businessman, race car driver, winemaker and Olympian Ben Pon, always looking for something new and already selling the hugely popular VW Beetle in the United States, saw the Plattenwagen during a tour of the Volkswagen plant in West Germany one day and the lightbulb went off.

The Beetle paved the way for what was known then as the VW Transporter, later called the Volkswagen Microbus and then, in later years, the Bus. In the 1950s when the Transporter hit the market, buyers could choose from 8 different models, all designed to answer a specific need. Today, there are more than 15 variations of the Transporter (or T models) on the market.

For example, the Kombi VW bus featured removable rear seats so consumers could use the van to carry cargo (and people). A variety of side windows options also made an appearance during these days, with a low-end version offering 11-15 windows spaced around the van and high-end versions offering 23-window VW buses. Early models carried a hard to clean split front windshield, earning it one of many nicknames, “the Splitty.” Volkswagen did away with this unpopular feature, creating a solid front windshield.

In Europe, families and friends used the popular bus for camping trips, as did Americans, who also plastered peace signs all over it and drove it to see Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead. Europeans turned it into an ambulance, and everyone used its large interior for deliveries and carting stuff around.

In the 1960s, things began to turn around in the U.S. market when people became more concerned with vehicle safety and emissions – and something known as the chicken tax.

Chicken Tax

The Chicken War started when American farmers adopted poultry factory farming practices in the 1950s. Soon, chicken was being exported to Europe in mind-boggling numbers – which didn’t sit well with German farmers. Feathers flew and, as a result, high tariffs were implemented on imported chicken in Europe.

In America, the United Auto Workers were threatening a strike over the importing of the popular Volkswagen Type 2 pickup truck.

In response to both of the above, President Johnson imposed a 25% tax on imported light trucks. Called the Chicken Tax, it’s still in effect today. The effect on the Volkswagen is, in order to avoid the Chicken Tax, the vehicle cannot be sold as a truck or any kind of commercial vehicle.

Today’s Volkswagen Bus

Today, three different iterations of the VW bus are on the production line at a plant in Hanover, Germany. The model year T6 continues to be built with a van platform but is ceasing production with the new ID. Buzz. This is its last year. The T7 is a medium-sized Transporter with a large cargo area marketed as a plug-in hybrid. And the newest member of this family of unconventional members is the Buzz, due in the U.S. in 2024.

In Europe, the electric Buzz rolled into the market in 2022 and found new categories to master, including as a police car, a school bus, a postal truck and much more. But in America, the Buzz will never climb to the exalted ranks of a service vehicle. The chicken tax took care of that. It will always be a passenger van on these shores.

The Buzz About the Buzz

Let’s talk specifics about this new van that’s supposed to bring us all back to the days of concerts, tie-dye and peace signs. Of course, it is electric. But what other changes will we see?

Appearance: Some people think the new Buzz looks similar to the old Scooby-Doo van. Others think it looks like what might happen if a modern minivan had a baby with a sleek sports car. It certainly no longer has the goofy smile of the old VW Bus. Some people say it looks like an angry cousin.

Mechanics: It’s no longer necessary to carry around the “How to Fix Your Volkswagen for the Complete Idiot” and 3 wrenches. The downside is that a paper clip and a rubber band won’t fix the rear engine until you can get it to a shop. And, gasp, it comes in automatic transmission, too. Staying on top of maintenance will get you further.

Noise and Driving: If you’ve ever driven or ridden in an older VW Microbus, you already know how noisy it was, with bone-jarring shakes and rattles. It may – or may not – make it up that steep hill in the mountains of Colorado. Perhaps try reverse to make it up? Today’s version will have up to 201 horsepower (the original had an HP of two digits). It’s supposed to be much easier to maneuver. You’ve got to wonder if they took out all the fun!

Smart Car: You probably won’t consider the new Buzz as you did its distant little brother or sister. In the 60s, the bus was considered a valuable and friendly member of the family. The Buzz is more like the rather stern computer Hal in “2001: A Space Odyssey” (except for the part where Hal goes crazy and murders the crew). That won’t happen with Buzz, but it may stop you from switching lanes without signaling or flashing colors at you if there’s an obstruction in the road.

Overall, VW is banking on the new trend for electrical vehicles to help it become the world player it once was with the Beetle and the original VW bus in decades past. And although it may cost quite a bit more than the original ($1,800 vs $40,000), there are still fans clamoring to get a piece of yesterday for today.

Carving Station Market Transformation Driven by Technology and Consumer Trends

The carving station market, once primarily confined to large-scale buffets, catering events, and upscale restaurants, is undergoing a significant transformation. As consumer demands evolve and new trends emerge, the market for carving stations is expanding beyond its traditional boundaries. This evolution is being driven by technological innovations, changing dining preferences, and an increased focus on experience-driven dining. This article explores the factors shaping the transformation of the carving station market, the opportunities and challenges ahead, and what the future holds for this once niche offering.

1. Technological Advancements in Carving Station Equipment

In recent years, technological innovations have revolutionized carving stations, making them more efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and user-friendly. Modern carving stations now come equipped with advanced features such as temperature-controlled carving boards, motorized carving knives, and even automated serving systems. These innovations not only enhance the quality of the service but also improve operational efficiency, making it easier for chefs and catering staff to manage busy events.

Smart Features: Some carving stations now feature digital thermometers and timers, ensuring the meat is cooked to perfection and served at optimal temperatures. These features help reduce food waste and improve the overall dining experience.

Aesthetic Appeal: New designs and materials, such as stainless steel finishes and backlit counters, are transforming carving stations into an elegant focal point at events, boosting their appeal in high-end restaurants and luxury hotels.

Efficiency Gains: Motorized systems for carving and slicing meats are becoming more common, reducing the effort required by staff and enhancing the speed of service. This is particularly important in large-scale catering events or buffets where efficiency is key.

2. Changing Consumer Preferences for Interactive Dining Experiences

Modern diners are increasingly seeking personalized, interactive dining experiences. The traditional carving station, which allows guests to select their own cuts of meat, has seen a resurgence due to this shift in consumer behavior. Guests enjoy the opportunity to interact with chefs, watch the carving process, and customize their meal.

Customization and Experience: Carving stations offer diners a chance to create their own ideal meal, selecting the type and cut of meat, as well as garnishes and sauces. This customization not only adds value but also enhances the overall dining experience, leading to higher customer satisfaction.

Social Dining: Carving stations are often set up in shared spaces, such as buffets or event halls, creating a sense of community and encouraging social interaction. This is particularly appealing to younger generations who prioritize social experiences in their dining choices.

3. Health and Dietary Considerations

Another driving force behind the transformation of the carving station market is the increasing focus on health and dietary considerations. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking alternatives to traditional meat-centric dishes. As a result, carving stations are evolving to cater to these demands by offering a variety of protein options, including plant-based meats, poultry, and seafood.

Plant-Based Alternatives: Many carving stations are now including plant-based options to cater to the growing demand for vegetarian and vegan diets. These plant-based meats mimic the texture and flavor of traditional meats, allowing diners to enjoy the carving station experience without compromising their dietary preferences.

Health-Conscious Menus: Carving stations are incorporating leaner cuts of meat, such as turkey breast or chicken, as well as healthy sides like roasted vegetables and low-fat sauces. This ensures that diners with health concerns, such as those watching their cholesterol levels, can still enjoy the carving station experience.

4. Expansion into New Venues and Markets

Historically, carving stations were a feature only found at large events or luxury hotels. However, as the market expands, they are now being introduced in a wider range of settings, including fast-casual restaurants, corporate cafeterias, and even food trucks. This diversification reflects the increasing demand for high-quality, customizable dining experiences at a variety of price points.

Restaurants and Cafes: Carving stations are now being incorporated into the menus of various restaurant formats, from upscale fine dining to more affordable casual eateries. This move is a direct response to consumers’ desire for fresh, interactive meals in different dining environments.

Corporate and Institutional Dining: Many businesses and institutions, such as universities and corporate offices, are adopting carving stations in their cafeterias to provide employees with more varied and customizable meal options. This has become especially popular for catering large events or conferences where diverse dietary preferences need to be catered to.

5. Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing

As sustainability becomes an increasingly important consideration for consumers, the carving station market is also being affected. Many consumers now want to know where their food comes from and how it is produced. This has led carving station providers to embrace ethical sourcing and sustainability practices in order to meet consumer demand.

Sourcing from Ethical Farms: Many carving station providers are now sourcing meats from farms that adhere to ethical practices, such as free-range and grass-fed production methods. This appeals to ethically-minded consumers who prioritize humane treatment of animals.

Sustainable Practices: Carving station operators are also focusing on sustainability by minimizing food waste and using eco-friendly materials in their setups. From biodegradable serving utensils to energy-efficient carving stations, the sector is making strides toward greener practices.

6. The Future of Carving Stations

Looking ahead, the carving station market is expected to continue its transformation, with new trends and innovations pushing it to new heights. From expanding into new markets to incorporating high-tech solutions, carving stations will likely play an even larger role in both casual and fine-dining establishments.

Hybrid Experiences: In the future, carving stations may be part of hybrid dining experiences, blending self-service buffets with personalized chef-curated meals. This hybrid model can cater to a wider range of tastes and preferences while maintaining the interactive and customizable aspects that make carving stations so appealing.

Integration with Catering Services: As the demand for catering grows, carving stations are likely to become a standard offering for events and parties. Event planners may increasingly rely on carving stations to provide both variety and customization for their guests.

Conclusion

The carving station market is undergoing a significant transformation driven by technology, changing consumer preferences, health-conscious choices, and the growing demand for sustainable practices. As the market evolves, carving stations are expanding their appeal beyond traditional buffets and high-end events, creating new opportunities for growth across various sectors. By embracing innovation and adapting to the needs of today’s consumers, the carving station market is poised for continued success in the years to come.

Future of South Africa Veterinary Medicine Market: Insights from Industry Experts

The South African veterinary medicine market size is expected to reach USD 1,145.29 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. South Africa and the surrounding regions in the recent past, have experienced a very high prevalence of zoonotic and animal diseases. Given the dependence on livestock farming as well as the rising popularity of pet ownership, direct contact between humans and animals is quite common in these regions. Over the past decade, these diseases have been consistently on the rise in this region, raising concern over the well-being of humans and increasing the need for proper diagnostic & treatment infrastructure to tackle the disease growth at the source, boosting the veterinary medicine demand.

For instance, as per the data published in 2023 by Frontiers in Public Health, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has experienced a massive rise in zoonotic diseases. It was estimated that outbreaks of zoonotic diseases such as Ebola virus disease (EVD), viral hemorrhagic fevers, and rabies increased by 63% from 2001-2011 to 2012-2022. Further, the study highlights that over 33% of the Public Health Emergencies (PHEs) in SSA countries, such as South Africa, Nigeria, Uganda, etc., were of zoonotic origin from 2001 to 2022.

Additionally, a study was conducted in South Africa to assess the patterns of rabies in animals over more than two decades. In January 2024, a published study from the Journal of Tropical Medicine & Infectious Diseases observed the Rabies progression in animals like dogs, cattle, cats, horses, pigs, sheep, and goats from 1998 to 2022. Rabies in companion animals like dogs, cats, and horses was reported to have the highest increase of over 59%, followed by more than 21% in livestock animals like cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep. These findings suggest a steep rise in the occurrence of harmful diseases like rabies among the South African animal population. Timely intervention of treatment & elimination of this disease will help maintain a healthy animal and prevent the disease’s spread to humans.

Why do most poultry farmers fail in their projects:

Poultry farming is a science that needs many role players as well as many different management procedures, which forms the parts of a successful poultry enterprise. If the role players or management procedures are not correct the poultry farmer is bound to fail.

Due to the increasing demand of chickens and eggs and also quest for self employment, many people are interested in turning their career to the poultry farming with mixed results. Some have succeeded while due to the poor planning, others become failed. They become failed due to their failure to the plan.

Below are some of the major reasons why poultry farming projects in Ethiopia fail.

1.Insufficient knowledge (lack of know-how):

Most rush to farming after seeing their neighbors harvests. They don’t take their time to learn about market dynamics and demand and supply curve.

2.Lack of persistence:

Most want instant gratification.They want to be millionaires overnight.They don’t want to face disease challenge or market challenge. All they want is more and more profits. I am sorry to burst your bubble but farming doesn’t work that way.You’ve to toil and sweat. Nothing comes easily.

3.High cost of feeds and poultry equipment:

This has been a pain in the neck. In Ethiopia this has been the farmer’s undoing. Cost of production has gone over the roof in recent times due to this. I always advise farmers to use creativity and improvise these things e.g buckets in place of drinkers and feeders.

4.Lack of market for their goods:

This is demoralizing at the same time heart breaking.

5.Lack of professionals:

Farmers have to make do with trial and error .Due to this they are left at limbo not able to fight challenges e.g diseases and they really lose a lot.

6.Disease outbreaks:

A very serious problems due to insufficient knowledge on disease managenent.Most farmers don’t follow strict vaccination programmes and bio security therefore the birds end up dying en masse.

7.Middle-men and brokers:

These are double-edged swords. Some are good while others are outright evil. Some can be farmer’s worst nightmare as they can take the lion’s share of the product due to the knowledge of the market.They promise you heaven and give you hell.

8. Wrongly advised farmers:

I once encountered a new farmer who was advised by a fellow farmer to give her pullets sow and weaner meal inorder to start laying early. The birds matured but even at 7 months none had started laying. Please farmers jealousy and envy is bad for business. If you don’t want to consult a professional you will end up with serious losses.
