Since our roots are in economics – and specifically long wave economics as in Kondratieff – we should begin with the money drivers, first. Specifically the Federal employment report just out: “Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 227,000 in November, and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.2 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics … Read More

Before the morning ramble begins, just a quick comment on “seeing what’s coming.” In other words, “the Future.” Specifically, we’ve got concerns over a possible “target of opportunity” just ahead. But let’s back up, first. During my life I’ve had the honor of deeply interviewing people whose work on suturing has been widely ignored by … Read More
Over the past week with our consigliere, some thoughts on near-term future have evolved. Strangely, the year ahead is looking more bi-polar than ever. The “Reasonable Middle” is still missing in action. A pick up in the general news flow is cited, too. We begin with today’s ADP report and then launch into a world … Read More

But to us, it’s a much Bigger Deal. You see, the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree. Remember, it was a conspiracy … Read More
So much for the best laid plans of men, mice, and all that. We got so wrapped up in discussing the state of world affairs Saturday, that somehow we didn’t start on the Big Antenna Projects until late. Oh, and I haven’t had time to get Drone #1 back in flying condition, so we might … Read More

Still, desperate people (not wanting to leave office) and people who want to undercut whoever follows (ahem…) may be … Read More
Today is a “”tough one” out here in the wilds of East Texas. Oh, the weather, while turning cold is OK. Our house guest /consigliere has had a good time. Even got a case settled Wednesday afternoon. Ah, the magic of MagicJack VOIP, multiple monitors, and Starlink. Yeah, all that stuff is fine. And the Turkey … Read More
Coming up on 3 AM out here in East Texas. Very pleasant night talking to George Noory on Coast-to-Coast (some additional show note links are in the next post). Back to bed and sleeping in – which I’ve only been able to do once in a long while. Need to get up and pop the … Read More

Root Canal Tuesday leads to Coast-to-Coast Wednesday night which then segues into Turkey Thursday around here. But before we roll, some important housekeeping items for even our non-subscribers to the $40/year Peoplenomics site. Safe Computing Reminders: We are at “peak hacking” between now and early January. Don’t open emails you aren’t expecting. Next, make sure … Read More
