The American Left has a serious problem:  They are running out of “shock talk” to spew. Allow me to show you a few facts – and then how the Left (and liberal types) are trying to bury their terrifying shortage of shocking terms. First a couple of identical news searches to make the point: On Bing’s … Read More

A golem is something like an automaton (or more correctly: an animated anthropomorphic being) in old Yiddish literature. Sounds like a spreadsheet to us! In the modern sense, it may evolve into yet another trading tool designed to provide additional information to the serious (OK, greedy, then…) trader in search of a dollar. Today – … Read More

Since you may be young – and haven’t studied either long wave economics – or history – except to pass a test, perhaps – you may not be laughing at the Digital Mob Rule which appears now on an Internet (and social media) near you. The Constitutional Government of these United States is under attack, … Read More

We don’t often talk about prepping as related to “water safety” but a phone call this week not only caused my hair to stand on end, but also spontaneously combust! Some people we know were planning a boat-ride.  It’s summer and while fun, there is a tremendous amount of prepping that goes into even an … Read More

We begin this “summit week” with a few notes about the online digital revolution that’s underway.  What we shorthand as The Webolution. For new readers, there are now two governments in most countries of the world.  A constitutional government (old paradigm) and an online government (new paradigm). The difference is simple:  Constitutional governments can run … Read More

I have (like I need it) another new hobby. OMG, what now? Turns out on eBay, there are all kinds of now-defunct magazines available on CD and DVDs for a reasonable price.  I think in the last month I’ve picked up $150 worth of such collections.  Great sources of ideas and in-depth knowledge lost on the … Read More

I do not know when I have been more excited about something: In our decade-plus search to find new ways to analyze stock market data we have come up with a regular heartbeat to the market. In today’s report, we not only tell you how to calculate this heartbeat yourself, with detailed Microsoft Excel instructions, … Read More

Pardon the overdose of “down-home-ness” but sometimes you  have to unplug from the messy data flow – which lately has been running like Class 5 whitewater rapids – and just “be one with the charts.” Fortunately, lacking any other kind of self-introspection capability, I stare at them day-in and day-out. This is a chart of … Read More

Reader Note:  We turned the ad flow down so there should be fewer of those full page splash ads on phones.  Also, we got rid of some other problems so the site should be back to fast and stable now and loading fairly fast.  Let me know if you find anything broken!  I’ll skip the … Read More

We are always a bit suspicious of the market when we close down like we did Wednesday and then in the pre-open, the futures were pointing to a nearly 200-point rise before the CPI Report came out.  Here’s what it looked like when released in the past few minutes: The Consumer Price Index for All Urban … Read More

A couple of readers Wednesday noticed that a few things on UrbanSurvival stopped working for a while.  For example, our “header image” went missing for a couple of hours.  And when it came back, the next issue was when people wanted to make a reply to a comment, that button was missing. As of this … Read More

Is World War III underway already except no one knows it because it’s hidden in plain sight?  Are you immune to it yourself because you fail to view your phone or computer as a “battle space viewer?”  Strong case to be made for that… one that who;s we’re locked in an unwitting World War Web. … Read More

Our view of economics data is just settling now.  Been up since 1:30 this morning, in fact, working on several items for the in-depth on Peoplenomics tomorrow. The super-short version (free, lol) is that there is a case for a “soft summer rise” into about the middle of August, after which a slide into the … Read More
