Before we get started with the news, collapse of civilization, and never-ending excessive government, let’s have a “group moment” and look into the future. Channeling the Future The early futures pricing had the Dow and the S&P up. Yet, the dollar was stronger, too. Which often (but not always) means it will “take less dollars” for … Read More

We know a number of things: U.S. Fed Gov put far more energy than necessary (*or appeared to … Read More
Only a couple of items on the list this morning (as having redeeming social value and economic exploits open to all: The story about Personal Income and (nicely dovetailing) the Employment Cost Index. A couple of data-backed axioms about money first, though: You can only spend it once. The US dollar is debt-saturated. What cost … Read More
A friend of George, II’s was down for a week. You know how that goes, what trying to be the “good host” and all. When in the “useful parent mode” I don’t wake people up until they get up on their own accord. But, let me tell you something, oh my God, can people sleep. … Read More
Ever see the “cutsie” office sign? “The harder I work, the behinder I get…”?

And a Stormy Tuesday morning coming. We’re OK – just heavy rain and lightning all over hell and gone. G2 and his fire crew are out on downed trees and power lines with the local utility outfits. Lots of red on the radar at the bottom of this system… A couple of tornado reports down … Read More
