Things move slow—and then fast—in modelspace.
When we told you several years back that it was time to build on-site food production—even something like a sun porch container garden—you probably laughed your ass off thinking, “My, that old man Ure in the woods of East Texas has really lost it!”
Then, when we began using teamed AIs to run studies of word frequency analysis and temporal directivity, again: “Yep, he’s still nuts!”
And again—when he wrote just last week in Jobs, Hardware, Future Ballistics, Yardening about how much growable food area is wasted because it’s devoted to lawns: “No doubt, the man is crazy!”
Well, now we seem to be seeing the media picking up on a vulnerability we’ve had years to prepare for.
The Drudge Report today headlines “Food Shortage Next?”
And that links to a Wall Street Journal story: Hormuz Gridlock Risks Global Food Crisis, International Chamber of Commerce Chief Says – WSJ.
And—my, oh my—we must be crazier than you feared. Because the “confluence” we’ve been monitoring with our Over-the-Horizon software scans of thousands of sources has been pointing toward winter convergence for how long?
This headline adds another piece to that picture. The timing still has to fully reveal itself.
Complexity is ‘drifty’ until it locks. That explains our fascination with long wave economics, the 1929 replay dynamics, and the spread and positioning of nuclear first-use talk.
For now? Patience, Gozo. Food. Water, Seeds, Energy (or insulation), reduce debt – reduce profile.
As we tell our kids—they don’t listen, either—it’s better to live two years in the future than arrive ten minutes late.
So, what’s it like living in yesterday?

The problem with posting an article from “alleged news sites” is most are behind paywalls. And yes, you have been telling us for years, hell, your website name says it. Thank you George.
So they could not kill all of us off with COVID, so what is next?

I’m about 3/4 done with BIOLOGICAL WAR: A SCENARIO by Annie Jacobsen. Foreign wars, inflation, and interest rates are no longer at the top of my EOTWAWKI scenario list. Escape of existing germs or intentional release of AI-augmented germs seems a more likely possibility. I recommend the book; probably the scariest I’ve read in several years and it is extremely well documented.
We weren’t ready for Covid; we are even less ready for, for example, pneumonic plague. Key to Jacobsen’s scenario are attacks on healthcare facilities by desperate people.
Nvidia, AMD and TSMC just hit all-time record highs and math says they have even more room at the top. [ Except Amazon., it is trading at it’s lowest valuation ‘ever’ – despite the A.I. boom in it’s favor.]
S&P500 is a cheeseburger short of an all time high.
Forward P/E is at a 10 month low
., and – Earning Revisions are looking very solid going into 2027.
Unemployment Rate is nearly a record low – 61 months below 5% – the record is 64 months set back in the mid 60’s. [ Note they have changed how it is measured, twice since that record.]
Consumer Sentiment is at a low – yet Consumer Spending keeps growing.
[ People are worried., but what the hell – lets go out for dinner.]
Food Inflation has eaten every dime of wage increases – but grocery sales show very little stress.
[ No report of Consumer Credit / Corporate Credit – Not due out for another week.]
.., add this all up and there is no sell-off in sight and the stock market looks to go higher from here – how strong ??
“Consumer Sentiment is at a low – yet Consumer Spending keeps growing”
Martin Armstrong: Strong consumer spending therefore does not necessarily mean the consumer is strong. Sometimes it means the consumer is paying substantially more simply to remain in the same place. Americans are still spending, but real disposable income has stalled, savings are falling, confidence has collapsed, and prices remain roughly 30% above where they stood before the pandemic-era inflation surge.

re: “Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise”, S2E23, Oct. 6, 1939
feat: Roman goddess Providentia
“Oil’s Well that Ends Well” borrowed its ‘Curly riding an oil gusher’ scene from their 1939 effort “Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise” according to Wiki. Apparently the scene was filmed on now suburbanized lands formerly within boundaries of the Spanish-named Rancho La Providentia. Providentia is understood to derive from the Roman goddess of that name “who foresaw and managed the empire’s needs”.
News of a Food Shortage is OLD NEWS.
That dynamic has been Baked Into The Cake since the precursors for chemical fertilizers stopped coming out of the Gulf (and Russia) and since both Ukraine and Russia started attacking ships coming out of the other’s ports that were carrying grain.
Lack of fertilizer due to availability or price hits the yields of the NEXT planting /harvest HARD (remember in most areas crops are only planted and harvested ONCE a year – so there is a LONG delay on when this dynamic actually shows up wrt food availability).
Shutting down shipping of crops affects crops that have already been harvested thus more quickly affects availability of food supplies, up to almost a year earlier, but is equally devastating for places that rely upon imported food for feeding their populations ie: MOST of the 3rd world. (fwiw with regards to BASIC food production China is actually self sufficient now, they have an area of almost the size of Maryland under greenhouse cover to assist in that)
While the upcoming food shortages may only now be hitting the general press it has been talked about in the trade press since this past March wrt the fertilizer issue and starting about 18 months ago wrt the shipping issue of already harvested crops due to the Ukraine /Russian war.
The WSJ and Drudge are many months behind on their reporting of what has now long been baked into the cake.

You Need 2 Years of Food – Martin Armstrong
https://usawatchdog.com/you-need-2-years-of-food-martin-armstrong/
Absolutely….some supplies are essentially good….but….you cannot prepare for the long haul alone…( oh oh the Amish are coming to light here) after a catastrophic event happens..there will be a wedding honeymoon period..necessary resources will be available for a period of time… THINK ABOUT IT….
Now…..
I’ve spent a lot of my life thinking about what happens when the things we take for granted suddenly aren’t there… I’ve lived through catastrophic situations where maintaining a simple quality of life depended on my own abilities…
When we first moved here, a snowstorm that was forecast as possible flurries produced drifts around 12 feet. It took roughly three weeks before the National Guard could get a huge snowblower through to open one lane to the nearest town. The side roads remained closed for the winter…. I also remember storms that took portions of the electrical grid down for an extended period, with some infrastructure taking an extraordinarily long time to rebuild….
Those experiences changed the way I look at our own preparedness….one look at the pantry of someone having experienced the depression or dirty thirties gives one a hint..
We have built an incredibly efficient society, but efficiency and resilience are not the same thing…. Our homes depend on electricity. Our food system depends on refrigeration, transportation and fuel. Water systems depend on electricity. Communications depend on the grid. Modern manufacturing depends on electricity, computers, transportation, specialized machinery and enormous supply chains. Even repairing the infrastructure often requires an infrastructure that is already functioning.
That creates a chain of dependency.
If the grid goes down, it isn’t simply a matter of losing the lights. Eventually, refrigeration, fuel distribution, water pumping, communications, transportation, manufacturing and food distribution can all be affected. And if enough of those systems fail simultaneously, rebuilding becomes much more difficult because the very systems needed to manufacture and transport replacement equipment may also be impaired… makes one wonder where the heads of those making the rules and neglecting the infrastructure is tucked…
That is why I keep coming back to the idea of resilience rather than simply efficiency….the solar towers nodes air wells and greenscaping all come to mind…
I don’t believe an individual can prepare for every possible disaster by storing enough supplies…. You eventually run out of room, food, fuel, spare parts or something you never thought you would need.
But knowledge is different.
Learning how to preserve food, grow food, purify water, repair equipment, generate electricity, improvise tools and manufacture or substitute for things we normally buy gives you something that cannot simply be exhausted from a pantry….the marine motto..improvise,adapt,and overcome…
And this is also why I’ve talked for years about distributed energy—solar generation at substations, homes operating as nodes, and smaller portions of the grid capable of supporting themselves when the larger system has a failure.
I’m not suggesting we abandon the existing grid. I’m suggesting we stop designing our future as though the grid, supply chains and manufacturing system will always be available.
A resilient system should be able to lose a piece without losing everything.
My own experience taught me that you cannot prepare for every possible future. What you can do is learn how the things that give us a quality life actually work.
**We have spent generations learning how to consume what the system provides. Perhaps it’s time we also teach the next generation how to make, repair and replace some of it.**
Because when everything works, convenience is wonderful.
When it doesn’t, knowledge becomes infrastructure…..
Makes me think of the difference between libraries..Harvard,Yale,jet propulsion lab, etc..Harvard , jpl, and many many more ..especially overseas where an education is inspired allows to to search and read.. Yale you have to be special and accepted as special before one word comes off a book or study in their library…I have read a couple but seriously…those are extremely rare and long time in between..
activate AI gold pumps on a 35/39 sell . lets go USSA USSA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
food shortage my butt . youll all be eating , caviar , pheasant , salmon and venison in michelin diners in every city in USSA .
Oh yes — your response has a good core idea: **the test isn’t whether society has resources; it’s whether the systems that move those resources to you are still functioning.** I’d keep your humor, but make the point land harder.
Lol, lol, lol… now ..that… is some funny thinking.
Resilience depends on a system working together. Kind of like sex—unless you’re extremely well endowed or a hermaphrodite, one person generally isn’t enough.
What I’ve learned over the years is just how many things we simply assume will always be there.
Here’s my simple ….“WHAT IF?” test…..
Lock your car keys away. Turn off the gas. Flip off the main breaker. Don’t use the generator—or if you do, use it only until the fuel you already have runs out.
Now live your normal life….
How long before you discover just how dependent you are on systems you never think about?
Years ago, an acquaintance who worked at Boston Dynamics gave me a hard time because I had spent more than a thousand dollars per hundred watt panel on a small solar setup. Then a hurricane hit the East Coast. He eventually ran out of fuel for his generator and called me to apologize….he was cooking slowly in his big brick home..he has a killer solar setup but can’t find anyone to install it..he lives in a government employed area and no one wants to work…lol lol if I had the money I’d buy it from him…
He had discovered something important: **a generator gives you power as long as you have fuel.**
Where I had been spending on a system that could keep producing power from something that wasn’t sitting in a gas can…he had the gas can and no way to refill it..
I also remember a short-lived television show called *30 Days*. They would take people and businesses and put them into situations where their normal money, conveniences and influence weren’t available. They had to live within a community and its actual resources. Most didn’t make it very long actually only one made it the rest folded in under a week. Some folded on the first day; others lasted a couple of days. Only one managed to complete the experience…They were surprised at the huge difference in lifestyles and what someone had to do to survive…you WILL do anything to survive…. trust me..you haven’t lived until you’ve scraped the fat off road kill hides or crawled into a blood tank to steam clean it after driving across the usa in summer heat..
That’s the part people miss when they talk about food shortages.
The question isn’t simply “Is there food somewhere?”
The question is whether the entire chain that gets that food from the field, ranch, fishery or factory to your plate is still functioning….
Electricity. Refrigeration. Fuel. Trucks. Roads. Water. Communications. Warehouses. Processing plants. Packaging. Manufacturing. Banking. Employees showing up to work.
We have built an incredible civilization, but we’ve also built one where thousands of separate systems have to keep working together for our ordinary day to remain ordinary.
Take enough pieces away and suddenly the things we thought were necessities become luxuries—and the things we thought were luxuries become survival skills.
That’s why I keep talking about …resilience rather than convenience….Or how to make some of the things we take for granted in our life.. a few crackers isn’t anything at all..until their not around..
You can’t stockpile everything you might ever need.
But you can learn.
Learn to grow something. Preserve something. Repair something. Build something. Generate some power. Find another way to cook. Purify water. Make do without the thing you normally buy….it takes those that know how to pass the knowledge down..
https://www.waterschool.com/
one mans decision to pass down the needed information to over come the filthy water from an area where a simple drink of water could kill you..he stepped back and said ..what if…I can find a solution pass along the information needed…
Because when the system works, convenience is wonderful…..
When the system doesn’t work, knowledge is a much better form of wealth than a full wallet.
And that’s the real….WHAT IF?
Not “What if the world ends?”
It’s simply:
What if, for a while, the things you take for granted aren’t there?
That’s when you discover what you actually know…. can give you a simple quality of life..
learn to …Adapt,Improvise and overcome…
US book bans in public schools reach record annual high of 12,000 – during the 2025-2026 school year.
– Stephen King is again the most banned author.
– And Texas leads the count with 8,100 book banned. Florida had previously ranked No 1 in school book bans for the three previous years.
The bans involved a “record number of unique titles” – exceeding 7,000 – involving more than 4,000 authors, illustrators and translators. Analysts found 114 school districts which banned books during the school year, “the highest number ever for a single year”.
With reading in general is in a steep decline – this is rather worrisome. And in my opinion very wrong.
* * *
Sam Altman chief executive of OpenAI says he believes the world should accept “bad things” happening with AI in exchange for the benefits of the technology.
That statement does not help his cause one bit ! What an idiot. You may firmly believe that – but there are many beliefs you should never say out-loud.
“The bans involved a “record number of unique titles” – exceeding 7,000 – involving more than 4,000 authors, illustrators and translators.”
You DO realize the school bans are for obscene or “age inappropriate” material, and that there are a record number of unique, obscene titles and illustrations now on the market, which cover every kink and fetish, and celebrate every inhuman act and action. I personally don’t think 6yo boys need to know how to masturbate by shoving objects up their urethra, or 8yo girls need to know what a turn-on it can be to sever their lesbian lover’s carotid artery at the point of orgasm. I don’t think it appropriate for school libraries to assist in the grooming process which turns children into literal sex objects, or the next iteration of Hitler Youth. Parents have become lazy, and disassociated. They expect teachers to coddle their kids and indulge their every whim, while they strive to remove the tools educators can use to prevent Johnny and Suzie from becoming antisocial, antidisestablishmentarianist shitheads.
IMO one should question the source of the questioners rather than the “bans” themselves. This is a much bigger picture than some agenda-driven comment on HuffPost or X…
I’m with you @Ray…. great response…..
p.s. Altman really IS one o’ them thar “educated idiots…”
Hello Mr. Ure,
It has been a while since ive been a regular on the website. Actually since around the start of COVID so it’s been a while. Getting ready to turn 32. Would it be possible to do another Millennial Missing Manual but for how to prepare for the coming hard times? What to do, what to buy, how to be helpful in community, how to actually communicate well with other people, most important skills, etc? Also, are you still doing Skype or zoom calls? I would love to schedule one again it’s been so long.
Your friendly Millennial Caller.
George,
This is it.
Are the patterned timed-based fractal progression of daily weekly, monthly, yearly composite equity, bond, and commodity prices, the best and most precise indicator (rather than the usual suspects including unemployment trends, et. al. ) of peak asset-debt macroeconomic performance and of tell-tale of imminent macroeconomic private debt-reordering associated recessions?
The composite equity valuation patterns of 1929 and 2026 would suggest so.
Shiller – 41.67
Buffett – 208.585

(“And again—when he wrote just last week in Jobs, Hardware, Future Ballistics, Yardening about how much growable food area is wasted because it’s devoted to lawns: “No doubt, the man is crazy!”)
Hmm… food shortage.
A few years ago, we were already seeing population growth putting pressure on food production. And we’re still consuming enormous amounts of land through urban expansion—turning productive ground into concrete heat sinks.
That’s why I’ve been on the same fifty-year-plus rant about greenscaping our cities.
Put vegetation back into the places we’ve covered with concrete. Put activated-clay CO2 filters on street lamps to capture some of what we’re putting into the atmosphere…… It won’t replace the forests we’re clear-cutting, and it shouldn’t be an excuse to keep cutting them, but it could be another tool in the toolbox of human survival.. the continuation of the species..
Build air wells in arid regions to pull moisture from the atmosphere and put some of that water back into the landscape…..
And when it comes to energy security, I’ve been talking for years about putting solar towers at substations and turning them into distributed mini-grids. Give households grid-tied solar systems and let those homes become nodes in a larger integrated network—with remote disconnects so utilities can still control and protect the system when necessary.
None of these ideas is magic. They’re layers of resilience….an attempt to ave our cake and eat it to..
Food. Water. Energy. Heat. Carbon.
We could be designing our communities so they help solve several problems at once instead of creating one giant system that has to keep everything flowing from the center….kind of like the mouse in a wheel…we keep running in circles…
But like a lot of things I’ve talked about over the years…
it doesn’t fit the business model of MORE…

And today, President Trump signed an EO allowing truckers to buy and use dyed diesel. As if our farmers don’t already have enough trouble getting diesel for their tractors. A shortage of dyed diesel may be the final nail in our coffin.
Diesel is diesel and the dye goes in just before delivery. The big advantage is presumably low/no taxes, but the product still remains in short supply and priced high. It’s simply a delay before the real shortage hits. At least many farmers have tanks on premises, hopefully kept filled.
We do not have a diesel shortage.
Other nations have a diesel shortage.
“Diesel” is a worldwide commodity.
Therefore, until the price of diesel stabilizes in Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Sri Lanka, and everyplace else, we’re gonna pay “world prices” instead of the, “several dollars under world price” discount we’re used to.
In case you’ve never been overseas, or even to Canada, short of ME OPEC nations, CONUS typically has the lowest motor fuels prices in the world. We have been spoiled by 120 years of low prices. Until Mr. Trump allows the Iranian People to take their country back from the Muslim communist fanatics that have been running it for the past 47 years, we will pay “World price” for oil and its products…
What Trump should have done is declare a moratorium on the Federal fuel tax (for both gas and diesel.) Diesel = #2 = HHO. A percentage of light crude distillates must be gasoline and must be diesel. however there is a percentage which can be either gasoline or diesel depending on how it’s refined. Lifting the tax takes the pressure off gasoline, diesel, and home heating oil.
We’re coming into winter which means some of the diesel production will be diverted to home heating oil and…
(Right here is where I realized Trump’s move makes it so you can put home heating oil in your tank and circumvent ALL federal AND STATE road taxes. Thus States like California which have both obscene taxes and obscene CARB regs can have their motor-fuels cash cow stripped from diesel fleets without recourse from the California legislature.)
I’m gonna have’ta contemplate this a bit more, to see all the secondary and tertiary ramifications. It do, howsomeever, look like a net, good thing, though…
So true…BUT….even though we do not have a diesel shortage.
Other nations can and do have a diesel shortage, and diesel is a worldwide commodity…..It seriously affects everything..
So my personal thoughts are until diesel prices stabilize in Bangladesh, the Netherlands, Sri Lanka, and everywhere else, we’re going to feel pressure toward the world price rather than the several-dollar-under-world-price discount we’ve become accustomed to…..
I believe when the rest of the world starts bidding harder for diesel to fill their needs prices will be reflected in the usa…we don’t need to have empty diesel pumps in America for Americans to pay more. Consider pharmaceutical medicines.. the business model of the usa is promoting higher profits than other countries..while a medicine in the usa is over a thousand here and under a hundred in a bordering country and even less than that on the other border…. We need to figure on the modern business model the world lives by…..MORE…
The global market can simply bid the price upward….
Think about it because diesel is so deeply embedded in moving food, producing food, building things and moving everything we buy, the effect doesn’t stop at the diesel pump….
A diesel price problem can become a cost-of-everything problem long before we have a diesel shortage at home…. just to fill the bottom line of big buck billies ledger….Remember it all rolls downhill..the consumer ends up with the higher costs…
If a company discovers that the world market will pay more for its product, what prevents it from moving additional supply toward the higher-price market that’s willing to pay it without regulations in the usa..? I totally remember deregulation..got home gas wasn’t anything spectacular..67/9 I thought hell…it was 49/9 last week.. the next morning it was $1.09/9 and hasn’t gone down since..they push it up.. you think dam.. then they drop it a few cents but still higher than it was..the mental image is one of relief even though your still paying …MORE…
Do we really believe that businesses will permanently leave money on the table simply because American consumers have become accustomed to a lower price?
The business model is pretty simple:
If the market will pay more, somebody will eventually try to capture the difference…..for those that seek more..well there will never be enough to quench that desire..industrialists like the one that owned the company my father worked for..made a profit but valued his employees so he took a lower profit.. companies that still value their employees like that rarely have any turnover at all..the boss does good so do the workers..
That’s why I think we need to pay attention to what is happening in the world market — not just whether there is a shortage at the pump down the road.
A shortage isn’t the only thing that raises a price… Greed and ambition of success plays a huge roll in it..
Sometimes it’s simply the realization that somebody else is willing to pay more……
(“Diesel = #2 = HHO. A percentage of light crude distillates must be gasoline and must be diesel. however there is a percentage which can be either gasoline or diesel depending on how it’s refined. Lifting the tax takes the pressure off gasoline, diesel, and home heating oil.”)
HHO.. will never be allowed..like gasoline.. hho needs air and carbon similar to wood gas generator..in the 30’s they filtered the gas in an oil bath I have built two of those… HHO burns way to hot and has to be cooled down..the Nazi system cooled it down using water alcohol injection that you can still buy..they use those systems on race cars.I know I have said this before…Herman Anderson the man with more patents than Nicholas Tesla said the same thing many times .. they opened the water car museum in Tennessee but had to close it a while back.. the only one nobody cared that drove one..all of his patents were turned over to the us government..
https://waterpoweredcar.com/herman.html
@LOOB
“HHO.. will never be allowed..like gasoline.. hho needs air and carbon”
Refined #2 fuel oil is both diesel and home heating oil. The two are identical, except for the dye and any OTR additive packages (like Stanadyne or Power Service.) They both yield a nominal 138,500 BTU/gal. HHO usually comes preserved with PRI-D because it’s not uncommon for it to set for many months before use. Diesel burns slightly hotter because of the cetane-enhancing and soot-limiting additive and detergent package.
I know people who have driven their Mercedes and Volkswagen diesels on HHO for over 20 years. The only issue is the possibility of getting caught while driving on dyed #2 (which was a crime until a couple days ago.) The likelihood of getting caught in a diesel automobile is approximately “zero,” unless one drives in a speed or mileage competition (judges always sample your fuel) or is involved in an accident which ruptures the fuel tank. Cops randomly check OTR truckers’ tanks. They don’t bother with 300Ds or TDIs…
(“I know people who have driven their Mercedes and Volkswagen diesels on HHO for over 20 years.”)
wow..like I told my acquaintance… you can build one for yourself..you can’t sell it to the public…
https://youtu.be/xiozxOfCcr4?si=qpTOv9HciaqWbfFr
when the government pulled funding for the bloom box..they were going to sell it..in lightning speed time it was off the market.. they had developed something like that forty miles from us..they were looking for 200 houses to use..I volunteered it to was pulled off the market..
his problem was he wanted to sell it….make it available to everyone..the head of the power company when he stopped by after checking the solar setup for three months ..really had a good point..he said..energy hits every aspect of life..they discourage solar because it could totally stall the economy sending millions out of work..
the scary part of what he said is…I can totally see the logic of that opinion….
when I bring up my solar tower node idea..( every meeting they have I corner the head of the power company)
https://chatgpt.com/s/m_6ac7c09d6fb48191be463b5e2f76fedd
I have been told that something like that will never work..theres no way that tower could stand…
as for HHO…I have built one using carbon rods as electrodes.. a magnet vortex stirrer ..ultrasonic frequency a and a frequency generator..and cooked eggs…..worked great..more than enough power and gas..
the scary part is the water is being split.. both gasses together is extremely volatile… to make it safer I believe you would need something like the Hoffman cell…even there..it needs a lot of air to get the right mix..cooled and a form of carbon injected with the gas.. I used alcohol and water like the NAZIS used..I didn’t use a turbo charger like they did… i just used a blower that I could adjust till I got the right mix..
what I was trying to do and still believe if can be done..is drop voltage as nd amperage down…It takes Standard water electrolysis that requires a minimum theoretical voltage of 1.23 Volts to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. In practice, due to internal resistance and overpotential, real-world systems usually operate between 1.5V and 2.0V…. pulsed with high discharge capacitors and frequency modulators working in the same fashion of the feels earthquake machine..once you reach the resonant frequency ..water splits quite easy..At low energy..I was using a cap the same as what’s in an AED..or taser… the real issue I had wasn’t making the hho it was adjusting the air to gas ratio to keep a steady flow to much its to deluted… to little its to potent..( and explosive)… I used flashback aresstors everywhere..
Anyway..the solar tower , CO2 fioters,Air Wells and greenscaping cities..will never come to fruition in my lifetime..I’d love to see them do just one..to prove concept..but I’ve been ranting for fifty years..
what they did build..was an attempt to build was some obscene piece of garbage that would match the present business model of A centralized power generation..
now they tell me my idea is the stupidest idea they ever heard..and I believe what they attempted was the stupidest thing ever..where the sun shines here it may not in five miles distance..
https://www.reddit.com/r/energy/comments/1iw1bco/the_ivanpah_2b_solar_plant_in_the_mojave_desert/?rdt=58762
now that was stupid..the kin solar tower the major cost is the tower.. I believe a fifty by fifty by three hundred foot tower the cost would be a fraction of the big centralized system ..need less infrastructure changes.. but to prove my concept I first have to win the lottery..considering that and my life journey..it won’t happen in my lifetime..
