Data Driven Dispondency Numbers can be depressing. In the ChartPack of Peoplenomics Wednesday, I answered a reader’s question. Which was? “ When you back out the Fed Money Printing Party, where are we vis-à-vis the 1929 Replay?” The answer is? We are at the 1920’s Dow equivalent of 314 – remembering the all-time high in … Read More
We introduce a new term into the economic lexicon this year: Pandemnomics. It’s axiomatic that eras in economics are driven by events. Past examples include the “Energy Crisis” the “Tech Wreck,” and 10-years back, a massive “Housing Bubble.” The task this week it to build a reasonable outlook for 2021 that uses some “logic glue” … Read More
Talk is Cheap – Bets Matter I like to keep the mind rolling. So those minutes in the “throne room” are sometimes devoted – like today – to inventing new ways to become fabulously wealthy. Today’s scheme is particularly interesting: I began by noticing the absurdity quotient is quickly-rising among Trump supporters. Would they puty … Read More
Just a Formality It has been a given that Joe Biden will become president – and if he falters – Kamala Harris as his #2 is in, ever since contested elections went against Donald Trump. As for the process details sample the NPR version of reality in “Who Are Electors And How Do They Get … Read More
Ure on 3-Day Injured List I don’t have accidents often. The last “mishap” of any potential was back in our flying days. And it was while studying that when the concept of “Accident Chains” was drilled into me. A flying story first to kinda “set the table.” About 9-years ago, Elaine and I were on one … Read More
We have hinted recently that A.I. may already be mediating the merger between global capitalism and global communism. While millions acknowledge the present economic system is broken, a context-shifter – the Global Reset – is being used to build faux consensus for global-socialism take-over. You see, capitalism doesn’t “break” on its own. It has been … Read More
Ure Baited and Switched You’ve been had: Government claims extraordinary powers due to a virus, someone with empty rallies wins the White House, and the Stock Market soars to records while a million people in hospitality have hit the bricks. And you’re still not seeing it yet? Buddy, you’ve been “hoodwinked.” Sold a bill of goods. … Read More
Your World Just Got Stranger We have a novel theory – and there’s more on the Peoplenomics site in Wednesday’s report – that A.I. is affecting (mediating) a détente between excess-production Capitalism and lazier (but more resource-friendly) under-producing Socialism-Communism. As part of this, we see – as Watchers/Victims, not Participants – massive contradictions in “news” … Read More
Our semi-monthly update on a “personal science project” to hack space-time. This week, some interesting developments involving 22 lights near and Ark, sonoluminescence and standing waves of sound. Oh yeah…and the Oceans of Mars. It’s a bit longer than usual (6,500 words – before headlines and the chart discussion…). But, it’s written so new readers … Read More
More Evidence 2021 A Bummer I made a personal “investment policy decision” last week: I’ve decided not to play the market until after the presidential inauguration January 20, 2021. There’s simply too much that can go wrong – too many hidden variable to mess with. Plus a ton of contrary and conflicting views. Before we roll … Read More
1st: A Dough-Check Dow futures aren’t rising: Down over 100 with 60 min. to the open. Driven mainly by virus fears. Oh, and no-go on dough from the slow… We Warned You of This! For months we’ve been saying “Once past the Election, lawmakers in the District of Corruption would return to their well-trodden path: … Read More
Learning From Our Kids When you creep up into your 70s, one of the things you wonder is “Gee, if I were younger, how would I live in today’s world?” I’m fortunate. I consider the offspring: One daughter is a mental health counselor, working on a masters. The other daughter is going up the food … Read More
There are lots of us – old men of the web who have been writing about pendency of collapse for 20-years (or longer) – and a quiet consensus is beginning to form. It’s not evident unless you either subscribe to a lot of specialist future-oriented publications, or whether (as many newsletter writers do) you simply … Read More
