Are We Past “Peak Biden?” Looking at the early futures today – offers a view – to us – of a market trying to figure whether to “pack up and leave town this week” or wait until the (democrats have been planning for months) Election Chaos. We figure it will tee-off next Tuesday night, … Read more
Ear Yee! Ear Yee! Hear all about it! This is a fine weekend to work on your home sound system, isn’t it? We are going through a modest upgrade to the home studio here at UrbanSurvival in order to get back into podcasting with gear that sounds (slightly) better than run-of-the-mill podcasts.

Our focus today is on two prospects competing to dominate our future. One is called “Retroculture.” A concept of returning to those “…thrilling days of yester-year…” But this is offset … Read more
Instrument Check! Takes me back to my flying days. Checklists Galore! And they work great for keeping a lot of variables arranged for safe travel into an uncertain future. Checklists facilitate something called RKA. We don’t talk about it much here (*more on the Peoplenomics subscriber site). It means Rapid Knowledge Acquisition. When you couple … Read more
