China’s SGE/SHFE daily report for Dec 9, 2025 looks… strange.
• Silver ≈ $59.8/oz
• SHFE silver vaults: 717,788 kg
• Daily change: +18,497 kg
• SGE weekly silver vaults (Dec 1–5): N/A 🤔
Vaults “up”, data “missing”. That combo matters.

Let’s translate that vault jump:
18,497 kg = 18.5 tons = ~594,000 oz.
Big on paper.
Tiny for China’s industrial machine.
You can move that much metal with a handful of trucks.
So where did it really come from?

Spoiler:
It’s almost certainly not new supply.
❌ Not from miners — new mine output takes 3–6 months to reach a vault.
❌ Not from imports — no RMB price reaction, no premium shift, no matching signals.
Meaning:
This is reclassification, not “fresh silver”.

What does a trade war look like?
Much of what you've heard about tariffs is prob soundbites from politicians & economists.
But what does a trade war actually FEEL like at ground level?
We've spent the past year working on a film on just that.
Here's some highlights

It may look like a lump of metal but don't be fooled.
This is a die: a sort of mould used to shape plastics. Looks simple but it's super-engineered - designed to withstand enormous pressure.
Without dies like this there's no manufacturing...

Dies and moulds are the unsung champions in modern mass production.
One of the single most impressive things about Tesla's manufacturing processes is what @elonmusk calls the Gigapress: a massive machine that shapes metal. And at the heart of the gigapress are enormous dies.

...DHSC is quoted as saying that "the claims that MEAG were told by the chief medical officer not to put their recommendations in writing are categorically untrue." However, the Government's own official documentation contradicts that statement. Read on.
The 'not in writing' point was first flagged in our 2023 book, The Accountability Deficit, following our review of the official meeting records of MEAG which had been published by DHSC. The relevant meeting record is dated 20 January 2021.

DGCA forced IndiGo to cut 5% of flights due to safety audits and mass cancellations and India’s #1 airline is losing:
• 110+ flights/day
• ₹1,000+ crore/month in revenue
• Monopoly slots to rivals
• Brand trust
• Margin stability for the quarter
But here’s what that actually means:
Out of 2,200 daily flights, 110 flights are grounded.
That’s like a shop shutting 1 out of every 20 counters daily.

Each domestic flight brings in ₹30–40 lakh.
That means IndiGo is losing:
• ₹35–45 crore per day
• ₹1,000–1,300 crore gross revenue per month
This is not net profit loss — variable costs like fuel are saved.
But it still dents Q3/Q4 margins and growth plans.

The Bigger Problem: Low Utilisation = Low Profit
IndiGo’s business model depends on maximum aircraft utilisation.
That’s how they keep costs low and margins high.
Now with grounded flights, they face:
• Idle planes
• Crew inefficiencies
• Lower EBITDA
• Fixed costs per seat rising
Expect a minor margin drop next quarter.

J Narasimha was responding to Sakshi TV's counsel's submission that certain channels are perceived to be favourable to one government or the other.
J Narasimha: nobody reports facts. So what gets reported is a slanted fact.

On February 24th at 4:30 a.m., we woke up to explosions.
Our houses still had electricity, water, gas, and heating. The mayor said everything was under control. So we tried not to panic. We bought bread and milk and returned home

By the evening of February 26th, the explosions were closer. We started going down to the basement.
Soon, the water, electricity, and heating went out. Phones were dead. We ran to the shelter whenever we heard planes. With no gas, we cooked outside over a fire.

Attendees at my 'Darwin Down Under' presentation are often surprised to find that it was in Australia's Blue Mountains - not in the Galapagos - that the young naturalist had his first heretical thoughts about the origin of species. 1/6
Darwin was amazed and puzzled that the platypus - a creature strangely and profoundly different from the English water shrew - could exist and thrive in the exact same riverine environmental niche. He noted wryly in his diary that one would have to postulate "two creators." 2/6
The platypus is a monotreme (egg-laying mammal) and only the platypus and 4 species of echidnas (egg-laying spiny anteaters) survive in this group of mammals. Exact origin is unknown but the most ancient platypus fossils are from Australia. 3/6
