PPI – Problems in a Nutshell – Serious Senior Workout

by

With our ChartPack on the Peoplenomics side of the house ($40/year) showing the market back in “top-calling” territory, a number of moving pieces are sliding into place.

PPI – Inflation to Come?

Just out from Labor is the PPI read…

The Producer Price Index for final demand rose 0.9 percent in July, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Final demand prices were unchanged in June and moved up 0.4 percent in May. (See table A.) On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand advanced 3.3 percent for the 12 months ended in July, the largest 12-month increase since rising 3.4 percent in February 2025. Within final demand, more than three-quarters of the broad-based advance in July can be traced to the index for final demand services, which rose 1.1 percent. Prices for final demand goods increased 0.7 percent.

While it is no guarantee of future price inflation, it’s occasionally an indicator.  But, as the Peoplenomics subscribers already know, the Trump Gap could show up Q3 2026 – or sooner. Pre-open markets sagged a bit on the news.

While the Fed may be strong-armed into a rate drop next month, few pundits are mentioning that the closely-watched “All Items Index” was actually up this week.  Such that even with a minor decrease in rates, everyone will pass along tariff costs and bringing MAGA factories is not an overnight deal. In a complex world, it could be a 5-10 year change.  In the meantime? Don’t plan on things getting cheaper.

PPPPP  *(Preview: Pre-Putin Peace Parlay)

While you’re not holding your breath for prices, might want to also not bother holding it for Peace.  Trump is being “worked” and since it reads to us like go-grovel, specifically in Zelenskyy rallies Trump, European allies in setting red lines for Putin summit,  seems to us the Developer-in-Chief will likely cave to Euro hardliners.

Oh, wait!  He already has:  Trump threatens ‘severe consequences’ if Putin blocks Ukraine peace.

Not wanting to slow its roll going into the talks, Explosions Rock Russia’s Volgograd, Lukoil Refinery Hit Overnight.  But that’s not going unnoticed in the Kremlin where Putin prepares for nuclear war on eve of Trump summit: Russia readys new cruise missile nuke for tests in satellite images after Donald warned of ‘severe consequences’ if Ukraine conflict continues.

Like I said, not a lot worth holding your breath for.

China is Flexing, Too

China is a “land of engineers” and as superb project planners, our demise has been in their plans ever since the book Red Dragon Rising came out – twenty years ago – and no one listened.

With the US now (trying) to reshore some industry to slug our way out of submission, China likely sees that while Trump may have his wheel “hard over” trying to change course, China knows this is not a “call to the lumber yard” fix.  Onshoring American factories will take years if not a couple of decades.  And that’s how the Trump Gap pops in mid to late 2026.

Back up to the overnights, now:  Chinese military ‘expels’ US warship from disputed South China Sea waters.  On paper, the US Navy is still strong, but the long-time promise in DC about “only American parts” in core defense projects?  No more reliable than promises of “sound money.”  (Or, the release of Epstein files and JFK files, and UAP files, and….)

Preview of Coming Distractions 

So, how do you sell a breaking narrative?  Stop counting?

Trump BLS nominee floats ending key jobs report.

Yeah – what could go wrong, right?

Speaking of which, the weekly Unemployment filings have just been released:

As for which state got hurt most in this?

Be sure to drop by tomorrow about this time. new Retail Sales figures will pop and a violent market reaction is possible.  On top of the two mercurial fellow’s pow-wow in Alaska.

Lawyering-Up and Other

The Biden family: the gift that keeps on giving, huh? Melania Trump threatens Hunter Biden with $1bn lawsuit over Jeffrey Epstein claim.

Still waiting for NYC to sink below the waves:  One of the big climate alarmist cries, but look here: The Climate Change Scam: Follow The Money! – Miami Independent.  Climate promoters will continue to claim the risk of sea level change is real.  Maybe even cite current developments like Record-breaking glacial floods threaten Alaskan capital as residents are forced to evacuate. But it is summertime up north. And yes, the Mendenhall glacial breaks off…  (Here, pet the nice dust bunnies…)

We mentioned the predictable Trump Bash would be along when t he Federal Debt topped $37 trillion.  OK, now what:  Federal Debt Surges In July As Trump’s Spending Spree Continues.  Well, um, now.  Congress allocates the money and we are in a budget passed BT (before Trump) so why the run to bash Trump and not the Auto-Joe and the spendthrifts on the Hill?

Futuring: More Texas flooding stories next week?  National Hurricane Center is tracking a developing low today that might bring in some rain next week – we will see how forecast models develop…  NOT showing up on the 10-day models for our area…but give it time.  these storms have to come up through the chairs…

Domain Schooling

As you know, I am an advocate of humans using Ai to leverage what we know.  (I ride in cars instead of walk, use a calculator or PC instead of long paper and pencil work, etc.).  And I’ve been studying domain theory a LOT.

Have a look at my Hidden Guild website for more, but the big idea is this:

  • Humans tend to think “in domains” (inside the box)
  • Human knowledge gets siloed.  Only experts are honored not idea surfers
  • And this very Life itself is likely it’s own domain.
  • Such that when we die, part of persona moves on to a next domain…

All endlessly interesting (yada, yada) as we read today how A Dark Mirror Universe May Be Hiding Next Door, Scientists Say.

Now taking side bets on another one next to that and another, and….

Around the Ranch  Important Senior Health Notes

Lots to go over here:

If you have taken those new shots to lose weight?  Popular weight-loss drugs linked to sudden vision loss, research suggests.

If you have persistent, genetically linked high blood pressure – here’s a breakthrough to keep an eye on: New minimally invasive procedure could help control high blood pressure

Speaking of blood pressure, though – check this out: Major Flaw In Blood Pressure Tests Could Be Giving Millions The Wrong Reading.

Now Two Personal Health Notes

The first is that Elaine and I will be putting liposomal NR and EGCG into our antiaging regimen.  Based on the article spied by BIC and sent along for review:  This Vitamin And Tea Combo May Quickly Rejuvenate Aging Brain Cells.  Nicotinamide Ribocide is an OTC and the EGCG is found in green tea.

The “hip shot” here is making sure we’re testing liposomal NR because when taken normal oral route, too much breakdown in the stomach so little uptake…

Meanwhile the evidence on lithium orotate keeps mounting.  Think I mentioned Could lithium hold the key to treating Alzheimer’s disease?.  This ain’t medical advice – need me to quack?

Does It All Work?  Story Time

Wednesday afternoon, I finished one of my three heavy workouts for the week—2.7 hours of hedge trimming, mowing three acres on the rider at NASCAR speeds, and trimming 400 feet of fence line—in what passes for a Texas sauna: 88°F and 71% humidity.”Feels like” was over 100F.  I wasn’t chasing a personal record, just getting the ranch squared away, but I did some data logging because old men can’t be too careful.

After the mower wash-down?  BP was (Sys) (Dya) *(HR)

3:10 PM: 115  65  125
3:12:30 PM: 106  67  108
3:15 PM:  122  64  100

At 15 minutes in, 3:25 PM, I checked: 127/65, heart rate 96. That’s the kind of recovery you feel in your bones—lungs quiet down, brain clears, and the mower sounds less like a dragon and more like a tool. The fishing shirt still drips. Mower’s outside drying off, I’m inside, a pound or two lighter for the sweat but also trying to dry off – we’d had a hard ride.

Here’s the comparison that made me grin: when I leafed through the old physiology standards—the kind of tables a doc would have quoted in February 1949—the “average” older male doing heavy work ran a post-effort pulse in the 135–150 range and took 15–20 minutes to drift under 100. Systolic often spiked 150–160+. I’d just run hotter weather, heavier humidity, and still clocked lower peaks with a much faster coast-down. Call it clean living, call it stubborn farm chores, call it the daily practice of doing the work anyway—but the numbers don’t lie. Is it all that anti-aging regimen stuff I natter on about? Not looking the gift horse in the mouth, on this.

Nice thing about taking a picture early this morning is it reveals what I didn’t get done. See the small Yaupon (Ilex vomitoria) under the oak? Yep, one more thing lands on the To-Do list which never seems to end… but at least it’s all mowed and the fence line is strack again.

I’m not pretending I’m 25. I am sharing that I out did the born-in-1949 averages with a little discipline, some real-world labor, and a willingness to sweat. The reward isn’t vanity; it’s capacity. When the grass is high and the fence line is shaggy, capacity is what gets the job done.

In my “executive years” I believe I went 36-years without breaking a sweat. Out here? Can’t go even a day without one – often several.

Note to self: keep logging these sessions. The ranch doesn’t care how old the calendar says I am, and apparently my heart doesn’t mind much, either.

You don’t do hard work like this without shading your risks. I do take a baby aspirin, some beet root and L-arginine plus preload on water when there’s Big Work. I’m may be OK fit, but I’m not stupid.

Still, an early snap from today…

Write when you get rich,

    • I have read research suggesting lithium in 7-up…. During the 18th century, soda was first presented to the public as a cure for a variety of illnesses.
      The belief that naturally carbonated water contained healing powers was widely accepted. Products with various medicinal properties that could be added to soda water, such as Coca-Cola syrup, hit the market. These concoctions were available only from the pharmacy, and were often made in-house to each chemist’s own secret recipe. now did the lithium help stall Alzheimer’s back in the day..
      https://www.thevintagenews.com/2017/01/16/when-7-up-was-created-in-1929-it-contained-lithium-a-mood-stabilizing-drug/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CBib-Label%20Lithiated%20Lemon-Lime%20Sodas%E2%80%9D%20contained%20the%20compound%20lithium,in%20the%20soda%20could%20affect%20the%20drinker%E2%80%99s%20moods.

      I have read some of the Emerging research that suggests that microdoses of lithium—particularly in the form of lithium orotate—may offer subtle yet meaningful neuroprotective benefits, especially in the context of cognitive aging and mood regulation but would a daily cup of 7-up with the lithium citrate work.. Unlike the high-dose pharmaceutical lithium carbonate used in psychiatric treatment,There are supplements with lithium orotate that are available as an over-the-counter supplement and typically delivers between 1 to 5 mg of elemental lithium per dose, a micro dose range that is considered safe for long-term use without requiring blood level monitoring. Some studies have linked trace lithium intake to increased neurogenesis in the hippocampus, reduced inflammation, and enhanced expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor all of which are said to contribute to cognitive resilience and emotional stability. there are regions that have naturally higher lithium levels in drinking water and studies have shown lower rates of dementia and suicide in those areas. suggesting to me at least that this is a population-level effect worth exploring. For those interested in gentle supplementation, products such as Advanced Research Lithium Orotate, Pure Encapsulations Lithium (Orotate), or Nootropics Depot Lithium Orotate offer standardized microdoses and are widely available.. When integrated thoughtfully, microdose lithium may serve as a quiet ally in the pursuit of mental clarity, emotional balance, and long-term brain health.now this is something that should be posed to an educated man that understands water and the mineral components. our water here has high arsenic and radium levels..which is why our drinking water is filtered. back in 94 the paper told everyone to put a house water filter on for drinking..I think a year later the standards was changed to make the water acceptable in mineral levels.
      7-up is still my favorite soda pop its sad that the company that produces it lost interest in selling it.The name 7-up was what I was told the recipe … of 7 ingredients: sugar, carbonated water, essence of lemon and lime oils, citric acid, sodium citrate, and lithium citrate. I am unsure if it still contains the micro dose of lithium though..

    so……the odds of me getting a replacement tire for the buggy is looking grim..we wanted to buy a bassinet for a gift and couldn’t.. not to mention good vodka.. and some smoked fish that was sold at Sams club..
    now Costco has really good vodka and the Kirkland brand coffee is amazingly good..
    consider what is being lost and unavailable because of this war nonsense..because of it I am not able to get quite a few things.. prices are up.. In a world gripped by endless wars and global conflict, the average person quietly bears the cost. Medicines, tires, food, and everyday goods vanish from shelves—not because of scarcity, but because power is hoarded and resources are weaponized. We no longer go to war for peace; we go to war so a handful of oligarchs can extract wealth while the rest of us pay in silence. Innovation stalls, prices soar, and the human spirit is sidelined. But in the face of this injustice, we must choose legacy over greed—crafting lives rooted in compassion, resilience, and ethical creation. The true revolution begins not on battlefields, but in the hands of those who build, teach, and remember. If only they could work as one together.. And imagine for a moment what if that spirit of collaboration extended across generations—where elders passed down not just skills, but stories of resilience, and children grew up learning that compassion is strength. Instead of a world shattered by war, we’d have a planet of unity. Instead of recipes lost to displacement, we’d share meals that honor memory and healing. The world wouldn’t just survive—it would flourish. Every act of kindness, every shared resource, every creative gesture would become a thread in a global tapestry of peace. This isn’t fantasy—it’s the future we could build, if we choose to invest in each other rather than destroy what connects us. it truly has me baffled.. A world where war and destruction for the benefit for just a few that always seem to avoid the chaos and destruction they create and encourage. war for peace is similar to F@#king for chastity

    • Then ask yourself LOOB. Maybe I should be putting my money in the thing that incumbents despised so much that they had to Mobilize Pochahontas and the GenSlur embedded at the agency that regulates these things, weaponizing the regulations against innovation in the US and suing the most compliant protocol[s] out there, all the while looking the other way at FTX and the other SH^&T coins out there that are clearly not gonna have a real use case other than the being the digital equivalent of a trading card. I guess that’s actually a use case LOL.

      That $10 in BTC I got back in 2018 for referring a friend? >$200.00

      Bitcoin has more millionaires based in hard disk drives in landfills. When the Bitcoin Hyperization event is complete I’m sure someone will be inventing a way to hypothecate BTC lost in landfills. Kind of like how the “buried” gold supply is managed today. We’re just not there yet, currencies have a shelf life of 20-100 years.

      What we are all witnessing is the conflict that comes with World economic collapses and reserve currency collapse. Ask Prechter.

      Not Advice. Do your own homework.

      And Thank You Mr. Ure for Urbansurvival, an escape into critical thinking away from the echo chamber that is the MSM narrative LOL.

      • In time..what will hold value will be known..my thought if they take this kabuki theatre to the event..to ding grubs might be of the greater value…when the illusion of stability crumbles—when fiat notes flutter like ash in the wind and digital balances vanish with a keystroke—what remains is the tangible, the nourishing, the wise. A grub in the soil, or any form of substanence will become the true currency of continuity and survival. The Mahabharata, in its vast tapestry of war, dharma, and cosmic cycles, offers a hauntingly relevant lens through which to view the aftermath of cataclysm—such as a nuclear war that I believe still holds true for our chances of survival today. After the apocalyptic Kurukshetra battle, the land is scorched, dynasties shattered, and the victors Were left hollow the lands baron and desolated. Yet with what few surviving the epic didn’t end in total despair; the few that survived turned toward renewal. Yudhishthira, burdened by grief and moral reckoning, renounces power and seeks spiritual truth, while the survivors retreat into forests and hermitages, returning to simplicity and sacred duty. The Mahabharata teaches that even after civilization collapses, humanity must And will begin again—not with conquest, but with conscience. to be rebuilt from the ashes with humility and perserverance guided not by money gold or ambition but by dharma, compassion, and remembrance the intelligence and k islets to rebuild once was.. In this way, the epic becomes a blueprint for ethical rebirth after devastation. I believe NASA and affiliated researchers—have explored survival and rebuilding scenarios in the wake of nuclear war. While NASA itself has focused more on planetary science and climate modeling, studies from allied scientific communities have modeled the cascading effects of nuclear conflict, especially the concept of nuclear winter and its implications for human survival. the report I read was about a thousand pages that really was a eye opener..I’m sure our congress critters only read the fifty tos hundred word paragraph..
        One widely cited study from Rutgers University, referenced in recent scientific reviews, modeled how a full-scale nuclear war—say, between the U.S. and Russia—could inject over 150 million tons of soot into the atmosphere. This would block sunlight, drop global temperatures by up to 10°C (50°F), and trigger agricultural collapse across the Northern Hemisphere. These effects could last a decade or more, even if the war itself lasted only days.we would be thrust back to the ti.e before NOAH..Throughout history, mankind has moved in great, sweeping cycles—rising with vision, collapsing through hubris, and rebuilding from the ashes with renewed humility. Civilizations flourish when guided by wisdom and shared purpose, yet often falter under the weight of greed, war, or spiritual decay. From the fall of Babylon to the ruins of Rome, from the Bronze Age Collapse to the quiet rebirth of agrarian villages, humanity has repeatedly lost its way, only to rediscover the sacred truths buried beneath the rubble. Each collapse strips away illusion, forcing a return to elemental values food, fire, story, and compassion. And each rebirth carries echoes of the past—lessons half-remembered, rituals reimagined, and legacies passed like seeds through generations. In this rhythm of ruin and renewal, the soul of humanity endures, always seeking to rise again, wiser than before.I think of the time when I got really sick..the thought was my life was on its last legs.. I was sitting in my magic chair..you know the one.. the one where you know exactly how a coach or ball team is failing.. and it dawned on me..what I had considered important prior to getting sick..to what was evident after I got sick.. Before illness, My life often felt like a race—measured in productivity, ambition, and the illusion of control. The priorities seemed clear. build, achieve, accumulate. But when sickness arrived, especially the kind that brings you to the edge like it did with me, it striped away the scaffolding of that belief system. In the quiet of sitting in that magic chair of mine where clarity visited me like an old friend, I began to see the fault lines in the old model I cherished. What once seemed urgent now felt hollow and meaningless. The true wealth revealed itself into elements I had passed over believing in the business model instead it was faith that steadies the soul, family that holds you close, friends who show up without asking why willing to sit and listen while you vent to put the elements as math figures on a chalk board.., and the knowledge learned through suffering—ripe for sharing and helping others deal with their own struggles. The learning is not just about survival it was about transformation. I didn’t return to who I was—instead i emerged as someone who knew what truly mattered.. My life long struggles were both a blessing and a curse.. I truly believe heavenly father allowed me to have them because he knew I was to dam stubborn to let it destroy me. instead the ability to adapt and overcome .. the song break my stride was my go to work turn around song..

  9. re: PURL & yarns
    feat: knit wit

    Folks,
    Seniors and others may be familiar with one of the knotty banes in the fabric of the knitting world, a hole in knit bucket so to speak. Therefore, let us catch up to our yarn.

    The Servant of the People has offered a public update to his social media account. Yesterday’s $500 million German contribution to PURL (Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List) gives the fund a new sum total of $1.5 billion from EU members towards buying US armaments for Ukraine. Apparently lines of communication remain open for those who wish to share their generosity and get in on a peace of the action.

    A separate video post recorded the Servant being greeted by the UK PM at the front door of #10. A tour of the official residence’s 300 year old private back garden ensued followed by a clip of the pair – having returned inside – ascending the famous, winding Grand Staircase to an upper level. I’m uncertain if it reflected a Led Zepellin moment or rather a “fee-fi-fo-fum” flashback to the Bard’s “The Tragedy of King Lear”.

    • Nein, nein, nein – thats the way in Californada, here in good ole USA its,

      PURL (Purloined).

      Like as in “Who purloined the Sirloin?”.

      ..georgie went on a shop lifting trip to the grocery store, meat section to get some top Sirloin for dinnerz, the other day… but his neighbor and friend Palistine Pete had already been there before hand , and purloined all the sirloins. Poor georgie had to settle for some primed ribs, poor Georgie indeed.

      • re: elephants in the ‘toon
        feat: no buts about it

        MMDTM,
        No doubt it bugs bunny too. Actually as chance would have it, AI suggests that Pete’s surname translates literally from Sicilian Arabic as “father of chickens”.

        To be honest, I couldn’t tell you whether the depicted cartoon vultures were of Cathartidae or Accipitridae family lineage. However it can be said that your New World ‘Sirloin’ steak is in actual fact Old World ‘Rump’ steak. One imagines the PM had no further report while upstairs for his downstairs visitor in the matter of the two automobile and one residential arsons affecting the PM’s private property some months ago. Prague-based “Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty” reported on June 6th that the trials of the alleged perps – two young Ukrainian male models, a Romanian male, and an unidentified fourth person – are to be held in April, 2026. Ukrainian SBU security services are quoted suggesting the Ukrainians were led astray by online Russian language job search sites. As an aside, “Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty” is a recipient of funding by USAGM (US Agency for Global Media). It seems President Trump has reduced USAGM funding by taxpayers to a trickle since March, 2025.

    DO GEOMAGNETIC STORMS AFFECT BLOOD PRESSURE? Solar activity might be doing more than sparking auroras. A new study in Communications Medicine suggests it could be nudging your blood pressure, too.

    Researchers in China analyzed more than half a million blood pressure readings taken over six years in the mid-latitude cities of Qingdao and Weihai. They compared those measurements to the Ap index, a standard measure of geomagnetic activity. The result: Blood pressure rises and falls in rhythm with magnetic unrest.

They compared those measurements to the Ap index, a standard measure of geomagnetic activity. The result: Blood pressure rises and falls in rhythm with magnetic unrest.

  17. Do any of y’all believe stuff like this:

    He (Lindsey Graham) warned, “If America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us. And we’re not going to let that happen.”

    • The good Reverend Mike Huckabe, ex Govenor of Arkansas amd ex US President candidte, certainly believes it.

      Rev. Huckabe, our current Ambassador to Israel, also apparently believes in the “Greater Israel” concept being pushed by Israel’s religious zealots since he has given his vocal support for the forced removal of all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and apparently from all of the West Bank (with the exception of CHRISTIAN Palestinians in the West Bank, but I don’t think the Israeli religious zealots make any distinction between West Bank Muslims and West Bank Christians) .

      Those kind of beliefs are strong in parts of the Bible Belt … which encompasses a wide swath of the rural South of the United States.
