Forget the over-touted multiverse. Parallel dimensions are likely real, not some computer simulations of reality. And not to be confused with the “real-thing” Reality, after all. Before we explain parallel universes intersecting with this one, however, we first need to spend some time understanding how the Future – yes, the real one – as in … Read More
Reader Note: Be sure to read the ATR section today! Humans know a hell of a lot more about the future than they’ll generally let on. All because we don’t teach people: There are lots of ways to “see future” These methods can be broken-apart and assembled into a logical order. When you do so, … Read More
Reader Note: This is just one aspect of a more complex discussion about “How the Future Gets Here” that’s in prep for our Peoplenomics.com subscribers tomorrow. But, since the Economic Fractalist figures we may have a few days left before the fractal math goes critical on us, a prediction worth considering, we will share a bit more … Read More
Our major shop projects are on hold. A combination of weather delays (Ure doesn’t work outdoors under 50F if he can avoid it) and supply chain issues. The local lair of the Home Despots was out of the polycarbonate panel mounting strips for the Studio Grow Room. So, we await deliveries and a change in … Read More
With a holiday weekend, we pause to consider our market charts, These show a most worrisome pattern and a critical level has been broken. Which we will get into after only a few preliminary remarks. More for Subscribers ||| Missing out? SUBSCRIBE NOW!!! ||| Subscriber Help Center
Breaking: Retail Craters Axiomatically: Everything’s a Business Model. Including America. Advance estimates of U.S. retail and food services sales for December 2021, adjusted for seasonal variation and holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes, were $626.8 billion, a decrease of 1.9 percent (±0.5 percent) from the previous month, but 16.9 percent (±0.9 percent) … Read More
A familiar theme around here is the idea that social cohesion is failing. We see it as the direct result of “social media fractures” which are in the process of mortally wounding America. Plus, several other countries, as well. Social Cohesion is also laid at the feet of government: They continuously make the error of … Read More
Despite the Fed boss ramble Tuesday, our pessimism grows. That’s because scattered food shortages are being reported in the Northeast as grocery shelves “thin out.” Going beyond pet food, there’s a hit that the supply chain issues will not resolve quickly this time. Since the Brandon administration has gotten almost everything wrong so far, no … Read More
Reader Note: Added estimated reading time (@275 wpm) to the top of posts. Reading time doesn’t include comments. Can add, tho, if anyone gives a rip… Inflation is about to rip everybody a new one. If you haven’t been shopping lately, that is. I assume you know – as was true back during Jerry Ford’s Whip … Read More
Adventures in Data: Let’s begin with a couple of “news searches” on a reliable interface to the Google platform. Like DuckDuckGo. We notice an odd thing when comes to “reposting news” and thereby finding monetization of “hot” button stories. Do the simple search like [Ukraine] today and we see three of the stories are reposts … Read More
A third of the way into January, the rains have returned to Texas. Those couple of weeks rounding-out December, were nothing more than sucker-punches for the unwary. From the outside project table, under the off-square rannygaboo (Americanized from the more proper rannygazoo) rain cover, there were projects lined up as far are the eye could … Read More
A quarter century back, I committed to an “ethical lifestyle.” Today, an update on its progress and evolution. (Voluntary Lifestyle Reduction.) However, first, we need to roll through some (additional, foolish) sheep fodder. Fed people – dumbed-down folks – who don’t have the brains God gave chickens. Or, they would have figured out there is … Read More
As we so frequently do, we continue to ask awkward questions about some of the data behind (what passes for) news stories. Let’s begin with the Jobs report, more properly the Employment Situation Report issued monthly by Labor. Today’s helping looks like this: Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 199,000 in December, and the unemployment … Read More
