Can people profit from knowledge of the future? It’s an intriguing question. It’s come up a lot in my life. Particularly since we are fast-approaching our December 1 time machine experiment window. Although our focus this morning is on less-direct means of knowing future. So, in addition to our usual look at the week’s news, and … Read More
Just out from Census – but this is misleading at best: Up 1.7%? Don’t believe it. Misleading this Mr. Ure say? Why shore did! Lookie here, now: Monetary base is up 31% in the last year. The Retail Sales are measured how? Show of hands? Units? NO!!! You stooge, it’s measured in DOLLARS. So if the … Read More
War is coming. But, the band plays on. Besides, too early to figure which war will come first? Europe’s or Australia’s? Both seem ready to heat up. Yet, adversity and opportunity often make joint appearances. So, which will it be?
American can, at least in theory, remember the Great Crash was in October of 1929.
Yet, how many are taught the day U.S. stocks hit their Depression era lows?
I get more done when I have too many irons in the fire. I need to start a 1960s saw restoration like I need to give birth to quintuplets.
Still, the old saying “If you want something done right, give to to a busy man…” Thanks to modern wokiocy, we encourage the reader to
We consider charts today because resolution is upon us and always occurs. Since we have a good bead on things now, speculation is in order.
There is, it seems, not very much reliable data for the average – non-statistician – to consider when deciding to get a vax shot or not. UN-like the US CDC, however, the British have been much more clear (dare we say transparent?) in their reporting. For those keeping track, the latest is out in Week … Read More
Thank you for your service. For my brother in law and our many friends who served; a portion of whom paid the highest price. Me? Never did a hitch. U.S. Navy turned me down (*asthma and eczema). So at age 19 I was instead a microwave tech rep on remote sites in Alaska. Posh gig: … Read More
Been asked by a new subscriber to explain how Elaine and I came to Texas almost 20-years ago. Pretty good tale, turns out. Very Monty Python: “And now for something completely different…” After all, why would a couple in their early 50s walk out on five of the hottest cities in the country? Seattle, … Read More
We assume you have been following this bullshit where the US Government’s Department of Justice has recommended $450,000 settlements per child (two children max for $900,000!!!!!) to separated families – of illegal border jumpers – for their pain and suffering? Biden is now trying to back-pedal and ass cover. See reports like Biden denies $450,000 … Read More
Let’s begin with who Joe’s tax and spend plan will hit hardest. New York, California, New Joisey. and Howahya? Reasonable (relatively speaking) states include Alaska, Florida, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. If America was really honest about taxes, the federal tax code of 73,954 pages long, with each carved out by crooks for … Read More
You may not be old enough to remember Joe Harnell’s catchy tune, Fly Me to the Moon (bossa nova), but fly me to the moon hyper-inflation is upon us. As we read this morning from The Brandon Chronicles. Energy and Economic Fairytales One of our correspondents is a high-powered Century City legal practitioner. Who sent us this … Read More
One of the keys to keeping my kitchen tile job in line was having the right tools. A lot of weekend home-handy-bastards (and ‘ettes) get caught in the Project Trap. Like the “Triangle of Fire” (oxygen, fuel, ignition source). This fire triangle is an easy memory tool for K-12 school children to learn. But, not … Read More
That’s short for Military Operations Other Than War. And over the coming year (or three) it could be very useful to have not only a grip on basics of MOOTW, but also in the changes of “nation posture” ahead of such change at the systemic level. Of course, before we get into this, a few … Read More
