A while back, a post suggested an 8-slice model for the Pie Making Capacity In Nation metric. Actually computing it would be a great task for someone with a love of econometrics, but your pie maker prefers the narrative aspect as a frame for looking at what's going on in the world.
Security: Mitt Romney loves the Navy. This is something he and your pie maker have in common.
Transportation: The Eclipse small biz-jet is back from the grave. Perhaps this means we'll see a real air taxi service at some point.
Energy: Solar is getting cheap enough that subsidies for it are threatened. Next year, your pie maker plans to explore this with an outdoor solar PV and thermal kitchen.
Housing: Have "home prices" become a modern cargo cult?
Health: An interesting concept that highlights how health can't be treated in isolation.
Dairy Production: The EPA does a pretty good job explaining modern dairy production.
Fruit Production: Sin trabajadores, no hay frutas.. It is a sad day when misguided attempts to preserve Americana hurt pie production.
Grain Production: It's very important.
With a special topping of optimism: Pie In The Sky (Space): Really big starships might not be as hard to build as we think.
