How America Lost the “Recreation Race”

by

If we want something to “Memorialize” this coming weekend, buddy do we have the shiznit for ya’ll.  America hasn’t just lost it to China in major industrial categories (shipbuilding comes to mind) but the “rest of world” is kicking our “short of vacation” butts.

U.S. Baseline: The U.S. has no federal mandate for paid vacation or public holidays. The average PTO (personal time off) is estimated at 10–15 days (10 vacation days after 1 year, increasing with tenure, plus some employer-provided holidays).

No, friend, the place you want to work is either Kuwait (43 paid days off per year) or (OMG) Russia!!!  Why those rotten-bad-nasty commies are getting a national minimum of 24 vacation days plus 8 federal holidays. None of which counts weekends!  And we’re demonizing them?

And why have US workers “busted-hump” to fund NATO?  When All EU member states mandate at least 20 paid vacation days, often supplemented by public holidays, making most European countries rank above the U.S…

Back on script:  Today we explore the earlier times in ‘Merica – back in the Land of the Free days – when we invented the Autocamping category in the 1920s..

But first, is Inflation going to Save us?

And saving the worst for last?  Our ChartPack this morning is the most dire I have written in more than 20-years.

  1. re: “Real IDs in the Pulpit”
    feat: “The Canterbury Tales”, 1400

    Folks,
    Oh, the irony of modern day campers motoring past gauntlets of underhoused suburban tent cities enroute to fairer pastures in the countryside for pitching of canvas. Victoria Day, Spring Bank Holiday, and Memorial Day lurk around the corner.

    Yesterday a Romanian UK holidaymaker looking for a headstart on the travel rush was detained prior to undertaking one way travel to Romania. A judge had ‘burning man’ questions for him regarding three recent alleged arsons against property connected with the UK PM. It seems the suspect, newly graduated from Canterbury Christ Church University, required an English translator at Westminster Court.

    The motto of the university translates as “the truth shall set you free”. Its crest includes a black crow-like Cornwall Chough bird perhaps as a nod to St. Thomas Becket, patron saint of Canterbury Cathedral and London.

    With the young Romanian suspect now in custody for the case to go along with a pair of Ukrainian nationals, let’s segue to DJ George to raise spirits with a top #10 jilted lovers’ hit from the Fab Four. Released on the “Revolver” album in the UK and “Yesterday and Today” in the USA, here we go –

    “And Your Bird Can Sing”.

  2. Your Georgeness : today I write a few snippets, to contribute to the conversation. None is advice, not financial, legal, salvation, exhortation, or otherwise [this stands through all Egor posts for perpetuity].

    Moodys : the downgrade was deserved but they didn’t lead the pack. They were last of the major “ratings” orgs to cave, buckle, call a spade a spade (forgive the card repeater, we hosted four couple Euchre last eve). None of those majors can claim clean hands, the position(s) have been tainted for eons. There is nothing so stale as Yesterday’s news.

    “… If you hadn’t noticed, there is a lot of this ‘magical thinking’ involved in financial engineering, of late. …”

    An excerpt ^ from the subscriber side. This, that somehow the media has connected to an ever online always trading hive, makes magical “kidding” ourselves increasingly dangerous. None of the fundamental world events the last several years would have failed to move markets of old but, this time is different? Nope. Magical.

    I am watching the bond market (as is my bent) thinking this won’t work, a TNX at >4.5% works against engineering a graceful step back, step down in rates. Sure. Inflation (moreso stagflation) exists as a countervailing theme, but there’s only one way out kids. We the People can’t afford higher Treasury rates. They ripple as a budget line expense for 10 years -or- gulp, 30 years. Let’s not.

    Interesting pivot wordslinger, over on the contributor side, while most spend pixels on world wars I keep watching the Ring of Fire. Looks like it’s very late cycle and something (or several Mount Dooms) may just blow. Defeats the “climate change” thing in a day but otherwise not global fun.

    I’m still betting on dying an old man.

  3. We used to spend most of our summers camping when we were little. 2 adults and 8 kids would cram into the station wagon and drive to a state park. Each kid had a bag made by my mother that was about a foot tall and maybe 6 inches wide. We were to squish whatever we needed in the way of clothes into our bags. One year ,my brother was about 4 or 5, only filled his bag with toys. He lived in his swimsuit for 2 weeks and a borrowed sweatshirt from a sister who brought 2. My father would go to work during the week and come to the campsite on weekends. We stayed the maximum amount of days then returned home to do laundry and return again to the campground the next day.

    We had cereal for breakfast, were given a peanut butter sandwich to take with us for lunch, and told not to return until dinnertime. The cost for dinner was firewood, huge dead limbs we dragged back to camp.

    The baby stayed at camp. and my youngest sister was responsible for my 2 other preschool brothers.She might have been a second graders at the time. Shocking looking back on it now. My mother had no idea where 7 of her kids were during daylight hours for most of the summer. Rain or shine, we weren’t allowed back at the campsite.

    My father liked civil war stuff so we saw every state park within driving range on weekends during the school year. One time there was a severe storm and it was difficult to drive so my father asked a farmer for shelter. We slept in a chicken coup without sleeping bags while my parents slept in the car. Coldest night ever.

    Occasionally we camped on a beach and the tent usually flooded despite digging rain trenches. There’s nothing like packing up wet, sandy sleeping bags and tents/tarps in the rain with gusting winds and lighting all around.

      .Great article on who and how the sellers and the buyers are easy to name. Algos are not so secure nowadays either. All done with the mind of a 27 year old mathematician. Gotta say, it makes my day.

      We don’t run out of physical money. It’s buying power is destroyed by replacing it with a new form and converting it downward to a lesser sum in value. A dirty trick to rip us off. The bitcoin conversion of the dollar is just the latest one.
      Everyone bitches about inflation. What do you think we are headed for if a fiat money is adopted in the form of public money, if a string of numbers can rise from nothing to

        Been preaching on hear for years bout Transparency and Bitcoin.

        This , TRANSPARANCY, is why the transhumanist globohomos were/are against it.

        No, not never rule anyone – in fact couldnt stand managing people – like professional babysitter in a tie – hated it – went right back individual producer as soon new mgr hired.

  5. “A depression would sure come in handy right about now.” Overheard from a floor trader on the CBOE.
    – He may have something there.
    –
    Rode the Harley up to the gun range – tapped in the code on the key pad and rode through the gate. I had to get off to close the gate – as I did, I noticed a small rattle snake curled up in the sun next to the post. He wasn’t shaking his ass-off to warn the big clumsy human.., but did occasionally taste the air with his darting tongue. I watched him for a moment – beautiful markings. Wished him a good day hunting and rode down the road to the pistol range.
    No one there. A great sunny morning., and not a soul in sight. I was there for close to two hours and no one showed the whole time. Very nice – very peaceful. [ If being at a pistol range can ever really be ‘peaceful’.]
    –
    I agree with Jimmy Rogers.., and now Buffet is selling off banking stock., building his cash mountain even higher. Two of the best are putting their money where their mouth is.., selling stocks and hoarding cash / gold. That, my fellow readers is a huge, direct, in your face, hint of bad things are just around the corner.
    I agree with our host., that long expiration ‘put’ options may be the next trade. [ Good Chart-Pac this morning – thanks ! ]
    –
    .., and why is it that very, VERY few people consider a sailboat as their mobility / adventure / nomad life-choice ? When someone mentions “the van life”., or “adventure camping”.., the first thing I think of is a sailboat.
    –
    Contemplating accepting an invite to a private game. I have turned down two so far this year., but this one sounds pretty good.

    “Stay Frosty !”

    • had a sailboat in the Hudson for several years..just below Tarrytown. An instant vacation. Great to see fireworks on the 4th..from NYC to Bear Mountain and no parking problems. Hunter 27..just right for 3 little kids. Also drove them cross country …camping, cabins. Good times

    • The floatin g life is very challenging if you leave the safety and comfort of a protected bay or harbor. The global roaming lifestyle is defintely not for the comfort and pleasure seeking. And the ocean is likje the honey badger..,. Don’t give a shit.
      On the other hand, there are some mighty nice bigger cats that pass for floating apartments with everything one would possibly want. And the possibility of great mobility is always at hand. Still, no one is going to make getting a live aboard slip easy and there are growing restrictions on free anchoring and mooring. You slip between, ‘yachting’ and vagabond pirate.
      We live real good floating. Feel blessed by Neptune to be allowed to have it so easy.

  6. “is Inflation going to Save us? ”

    The system is gonna change just like 1913 changed from metals to fiats.

    Trump said he’s an Ecoin guy and will lead the system from fiats to tokenization.

    Instead of our FRNs getting outright confiscated like the old timers gold we’ll experience a soft confiscation. We’ll get an amount of time to turn in our cash/coins to be converted into tokens. Once the date passes the FRNs/coins will be historic relics. Decide.

    • FUD

      That would be the the transhuman globohomos’ tokens in Ureope. israhell first tRump is not on board with that scheisse..supposedly.

      Better to jump in Now and worry about swimming later.

      The big SQUEZZE in BTC is just around the corner.

      How do I know this, its Maths, dammit!

      Only 13k BTC are mined per month now.
      40k are purchased each month. When you add these two figures together they sum a big honking SQUEZZE.

      And everyone I know loves squeezing’s, not just corn squeezings – Im talking squeezing the one Ure with.

      Maybe even a lil Bach on ole Monopolar Flame Speaker….https://youtu.be/5c_jsJmAJgw watch Ure vol. control on this one, the distortion is real.

  7. “Carnac the Magnificent” is still over 2,400 points from it’s all-time-high set back in February. .., and my modified MACD has rounded over this morning and may be heading down.

    This does appear to be a very good place for the start of a Wave Three down.
    But – what will the ‘trigger’ be? They ignore all fundamentals., so a “news trigger” will be the motivation. .., and that is nearly impossible to predict and/or trade on.

    As Dimon said a couple of days back – “There is far too much complacency in the markets today.”

  8. ‘Trump has chosen architecture for Golden Dome’, no, Trump is kissing Muck’s posterior, Muck’s SpaceX to cash in on Gloden Dome contracts:
    https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/musks-spacex-is-frontrunner-build-trumps-golden-dome-missile-shield-2025-04-17/

    Muck denies ulterior greed motive:
    ‘The White House, SpaceX, Palantir, and Anduril also did not respond to questions. After publication, Musk replied to a post about Reuters’ story on his social network X without elaborating: “This is not true.”
    SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE
    In an unusual twist, SpaceX has proposed setting up its role in Golden Dome as a “subscription service” in which the government would pay for access to the technology, rather than own the system outright.’

    Some experts believe the overall cost for Golden Dome could reach hundreds of billions of dollars. The Pentagon established several timelines for capabilities to be delivered starting with early 2026 to those delivered after 2030.
    “Laura Grego, research director at the nonprofit Union of Concerned Scientists, questioned the feasibility of such a defense system given that multiple studies have concluded it is a “bad idea, expensive and vulnerable.”

    “Julia Simpson, WTTC President & CEO, said: “This is a wake-up call for the U.S. government. The world’s biggest Travel & Tourism economy is heading in the wrong direction, not because of a lack of demand, but because of a failure to act. While other nations are rolling out the welcome mat, the U.S. government is putting up the ‘closed’ sign.”

  9. The 30 Year Bond just went over 5% [ 5.08%]
    .., and the 13 Week is over 4.24 %

    Gonna be some blow-back from this percentage spike-up.

    • dLynn :

      and … the TNX printed 4.607 which took out the prior peak at 4.592 on 04/11/25. This yield rise while the Buck slumps is a double edge sword for holders. Wonder how many double down looking for relief? Regardless, yields here are not constructive (and oppose other assets, needing to catch a bid). We sold $16B in 20 year paper today. Leap puts anyone?

      In addition to the Buck, and US Treasuries, watch the Japanese Yen, and their bonds. Something’s wrong to my eye. Possibly more carry trade disruptions. Lots of unwind in progress.

      • Guess you boyz are both pretty well blown away by this morning’s ChartPack call, huh? (bows, waiting for people to throw thousand dollar bills but has the feeling it could be a long wait…)

  10. That solar flare… from Moderately Sleazy News (MSN) happened last week. Old news by now. and they call it. “…classified as the most potent possible at X2.7.” is also more BS. X is the highest class, but the numbers can go MUCH higher than 2.7. That spot has rotated into earth view now, and hasn’t produced so much as an M-class crackle so far. Solar flux numbers are in the doldrums for now.

  11. You would do well to check: https://www.solarham.com/
    for the latest solar aggregate information. The MSN ‘flare scare’ happened on the 14th… last week. There is NO inbound CME to give us an earthquake.

  12. And on the subject of Tsunamis… they are large enough that they ‘wrap around’ to any facing shore… not just the nearest shore, and they will affect the entire Pacific Ocean ‘bathtub’… including here in Hawaii. We had a small (1 ft) tsunami here from the 3/11 Fukushima earthquake, but it funneled into the Maui harbor and caused several feet of water rise that damaged the docks there.

  13. What if?
    1) 10 Trillion funds from Europe…per Armstrongeconomics site.
    2) 10 Trillion funds from Middle east
    3) 10 Trillion funds need rollover from 2020 or so corporate
    4) Japan bonds on ropes from British Fed suggestions last 20 years.

    In the end all well.

  15. Going back to the subject of shooting ranges and home defense , I have recently purchased 2 airguns. One is a standard bb pistol and the other is a .50 caliber air pistol ( Umarex TR 50 L Generation 3 ). I think that the 50 cal could be a really good choice for in the home self defense , especially for small women who might handle a lot of kick back well.
    I am thinking of a 15 foot to 25 foot max range , in the dark , using aluminum balls as ammo. It is a revolver style so you would have 6 shots in the magazine with no time for reload in my opinion. The TR50 has a built in red dot laser so that would help us rookies to find the target in the dark. I think that a couple shots to center of mass and one try at the face could make a Predator rethink things. If not , rinse and repeat.
    I would like to get some opinions from others if they want to look it up on Amazon.

      • Eleanor , go on Amazon and search for” Umarex Air Guns “. That should bring a bunch up.

    • CO2 powered is the last thing I would depend on for defense
      1: prone to leaking co2
      2: temperature sensitive, 70 to 90 degrees F, yes they go slower over 90F because the hammer spring will not fully open the valve with the higher pressure from higher temps.

      get 38 cal double action revolver for the weaker hands (centerfire)
      357 double action and a 12 ga pump shotgun double 00 buck shot

      here ya go Eleanor

      • if you buy a gun plan on spending time and ammo money on a practice range on a scheduled bases
        it needs to be an automatic response in ure hands, no thinking, just practiced reaction, can do it in the dark, in an alerted state from a sleepy one

        you don’t go buy a piano and expect to be good at it without practice

        military and law enforce, practice, practice and then they practice
        Mr Ure has a range,,,

      • I’m buying the first one. Light weight for my bad hands. Review implies that it is lethal. I don’t know. I just want something to scare off an intruder . I have a bow with arrows (I was pretty good with one as a kid) and I bought a sling shot to shoot squirrels, but my fingers are too weak to pull back enough. Thanks for your help. I was thinking about a flare gun but this looks better.

        • The problem uyou really should consider is that it’s hard to scare someone one enough drugs – and if they view you after the scare effort as an enemy – and they are feeling none and can put uyou outy of tax returns permanently – then preservation and self and loved ones moves top of list and you neerd to do what you may never want to. air guns don’t have the stopping power of a 9mm and taped on spare mag(s). Just saying…I would yield to d’lynn’s expert advise.

        • Take a little time Elanor and make sure that you are getting one that is right for you. My thinking for an air gun is specifically for indoor use on an intruder. Probably close range. Take a little time , think through it.

        • Probably avoid pepper balls , if in your house you will suck in as much as the bad guy.

        • Eleanor, this is the gun I bought my daughter as an every day carry pistol:

          https://blog.gritrsports.com/walther-p22-review/

          The Walther P-22 weighs half as much as that Umarex airgun, unloaded, and about a third as much, once both are loaded. The safety is positive, the trigger pull is smooth, and even with only a 10 round magazine, I believe it could reasonably fire 80-100 rounds per minute (if you have enough magazines.)

          It will also have much less recoil than that Umarex…

    • prefer racking the forestock of the Remington 870, that sound freezes most perps – easy pickins, off Ure Hip, with bird shot.

      Hopefully Ure targets are Gut shot, but survive the ordeal. Castle doctrine got Ure back, so squeeze it like you mean it KO, squeeze it.

    • Honestly anything less than a 38 special for home defense is a really bad idea. 1 or more bad guys with heavy clothing, you know a couple hoodies and a thick leather jacket will defeat any co2 pistol. Wounding a bad guy is a bad idea for many reasons. Just buy a real gun and learn how to use it.
      if you’re gonna shoot
      just shoot…..Tuco.

    • If you don’t want a real gun, at least get a Burna. I’m not a fan because it’s a glorified paintball gun that throws .61cal ball bearings, but unlike other CO2 guns, it won’t leak, and every cop and prosecutor in North America knows what it is.

      The best home defense weapon, by far, is the pump shotgun. Nobody on Earth who’s ever seen a cop or criminal show would fail to recognize the sound of a shotgun slide being racked, nor instantly realize how tenuous their position in life has become.

      The ideal weapon is always the one least used…

    • I don’t disagree with the stopping power and yes this is less than lethal. BUT …. No Permit necessary , No Registration , No delay to get it , MUCH easier for a female to use with far less kickback and a much lesser chance of being thrown in prison in Minnesota for defending yourself.
      Practice ??? , yes , of course. FAR FAR FAR cheaper to practice with than all the other options that were mentioned here. Loss of co2 has been addressed with the slap stick feature. If .50 cal is not enough for you go for the .68 model. A well placed shot with a powerful air gun is 1,000 times better than a miss with a conventional gun. Unless you are Dlynn the bad guy will probably kill you with your own gun.

        {PC= “Permitless Carry”}

        I don’t need a permit, don’t own a registered firearm (except my .44mag) and have to suffer about a 45 minute delay while my name and ID float through NCIC and the FBI database, any time I want to buy another one.

        Also, if you put a rifle scope on an air gun, the gun’s recoil will destroy the scope. You have to use an “airgun-rated scope. Airguns and CO2 guns most-certainly have a recoil. Even a .177cal BB gun has a kick. They kick harder, with a much sharper attack, than firearms. They also have a much more abrupt decay (the kick doesn’t last as long), so you won’t “feel” as much kick from, say a .50cal airgun as you will a .50cal black powder rifle, but the kick IS there and you’ll feel it the next day.

        A well-placed shot from a slingshot, an atalata, or a blowgun is 1000 times better than a miss from a firearm.

        So what?

        It’s not 1000x better than a well-placed shot from a firearm, It’s not nearly as good — even if the firearm is a .22cal pistol — and the firearm gives you more chances to score a hit.

        With that said, what makes you believe you could hit anything with an airgun round, when under duress? Did you miss the (now 20yo and famous) dashcam video from the vehicle stop where the driver opened up on the trooper? The driver fired 15 shots, the trooper fired 17, many at point-blank range. The result was a combined 32 misses. The video has made three or four “reality” cop shows on TV over the years, and can be found on utub if you’re interested.

        My point is: Read. Learn. Don’t make assumptions. An airgun is fine. Just make sure you know what you’re buying before you do so…

  17. Speaking of Recreation , I hear that some Congress woman recently showed some naked pics of her boobies. As if looking at 535 Congressional Boobs wasn’t bad enough already. Pictures of naked Congress people ??? , Puh-LEASSS !!!!

      • Sorry Dude , I just saw the article in passing and I can’t recall the name of the Congress Woman. You will have to search for your own Boobs …. but it should be fun !!!

      • The Congresscritter is rape survivor Nancy Mace and it was a full nude, one of several photos taken without her permission and posted to the Internet without her consent. She shared it in an effort to explain why she was so-strongly behind a piece of “anti-exposure” legislation which Congress is currently contemplating (and likely master debating…)

    holidays. The average PTO (personal time off) is estimated at 10–15 days (10 vacation days after 1
    year, increasing with tenure, plus some employer-provided holidays).”

    Countries with a history of socialism have federal mandates for vacation time.

    Countries with a history of freedom leave vacation as a negotiation between employer and employee.

    We’re catching up to all those socialist nations. I, for one, am in no hurry to do so…

    • Where I worked.. the personal time off was not available. they hired on the point system. point 1 was they guaranteed you one work day every pay period point 10 was full time. you had to work your scheduled weekend. or find a replacement..
      I was a point 5 so if I took a vacation I couldn’t ever take more than five days..which had you working your guaranteed five days..sick time was the same way.. if you were sick one day you couldn’t get reimbursed or take sick time off the second day you needed a physicians note.. anything longer you lost your job if you couldn’t find your replacement. the vacation condo was not available to workers with twenty plus years and so was the company cruise.. in other wards no floor worker ever was able to take part of those perks only executives or physicians.
      one worker had a severe asthma attack..she went into the ER the doctor said she needed to be admitted.. she said no you give me something I have to work..or lose my job..the doctor called in for her..then gave her a couple inhalers.. one of my guys his wife got cancer and the first thing they do is drop you from the insurance.. he lost his farm his rental home his business to pay for her end of life cares.. when I got sick my wife a nurse also had a minor stroke.. during the annual witch hunt she and all the higher paid employees were let go. I was a burden on the healthcare insurance they got rid of her..we went a full year without an income..luckily the DON of a facility’s friend also was let go and had vented to her so the wife was able to get a job..the guy that bought facilities all across the country later..took the money the patients paid and ran with it..the workers were buying the supplies.. ( we bought a bunch ) and the government gave him what thirty million in covid funds.. the last place I had read he had quit paying everyone on a new run of this at a hospital in nebraska..A friend of mine had to pull equipment out of the hospital..its all about the business models of stuff big buck billies pockets..
      its a racket.. of all the places I worked only one let the workers use their vacation or sick time. the rest save these benefits for the full time executive staff not the workers..
