Yes, I know, another "Hallmark Holiday"? Not exactly. Read the Wiki. It seems that President Woodrow Wilson started Mother's Day about the time he initially refused to enter WW One.
The holiday HAS been hijacked by commercial entities, and the hijacking gets worse all the time. Just this week, in the Mother's Day run-up, I noted that the price of Bacon had jumped 30%. Curious, I found out that this has to do with the Chinese, who had been bearish on our meat for a while, but, likely because of the schmoozing of President Trump, had agreed to start importing OUR BACON again. Supply & Demand says not enough to go around, there will be price rises.
So, on this Mother's Day, 2017, I am bearish on President Trump, because, BACON!
My Mom is dead, may her Soul Rest in Peace, and my daughter is entertaining her Mom today, and I'm not part of that, so I will have some Bacon for lunch by myself, thank you.
