We keep trying to “keep it short” but there are so many “moving pieces” in the world today that it could be difficult. Picking up where we left off with Peoplenomics Saturday, we face the specter of what we’ve penciled in as “World War Everywhere.” The big contexts are: How the U.S. will cope with Covid.  … Read More

With 72 ahead for me in a few short weeks, and with Elaine tuning up for hip surgeries, we continue to enjoy all the adventures we can in life. But life is indeed changing and all around us.  Especially in the Shop. I’ve told you before about my concerns with America becoming a third-rate place … Read More

We  declare World War 3 underway.  And the Battlespace is Everywhere. If you have a device, you are on the battlefield. Evidence is mounting that America is under attack from within – and without.  It’s a digital war and the A.I. goon squads are under development. This is warfare not fought by the “usual suspects” … Read More

Credit here to my younger sister (I have an older one, too) for putting the time and energy into compiling a Ure Family Cookbook, a while back.  Though somewhat recent, since it was in “digital times.” There are two kitchenary delights today (besides my compulsive hitting the “Deals” tab on Amazon to find power tools … Read More

Although much over-hype accompanied the coronation of Joe-To-Save-Us this week, the stock futures were becoming skeptical by early Friday.  With good reason. Some of the tech sector high-flyers – like Tesla – were showing down 1.3 percent in the pre-opening.  And worst of all, the Federal Reserve Money Stocks confessional (H.6) could be seen as … Read More

Columns lately have been a little on the namby-pamby side. But, now that the dust is settling in D.C. as another load of dirt comes in, two issues scream. Trump Saved Crooked Media The first is the pending lack of “news” in America.  Depending on where you consume your daily dose of hypnotic repetition, the … Read More

By far, the most popular book I’ve ever written has been “How to Live on $10,000 a Year, Or Less…” Issued first back in 2005.  Thing is, I haven’t updated the book since 2013.  That was the 4th edition.  I reckon it’s time to update it  again.  Thinking – and facts on the ground have … Read More

This is a little complicated – future directed – and certainly not an optimistic outlook for the period ahead.  But, it’s something to think about.  So we will approach it stepwise this morning beginning with Futures pricing… Market prices are a function of several variables, as everyone knows, so it’s useful on a “Monday on … Read More

Story that has been heavily played – on sites like Drudge – is under the headline “Misinformation dropped dramatically the week after Twitter banned Trump” when it appeared in the Stamford Advocate. The source of the story, however, is the Washington Post, which, if you haven’t noticed doesn’t blame Trump for everything.  It’s just I can’t remember much they haven’t blamed … Read More

A number of Peoplenomics subscribers (and a few others) have made a personal investment in auxiliary solar systems  for their home.  Although, it makes the power industry a bit crazy:  Home solar’s contribution to the grid is an algorithmic demand management nightmare. Take our place, for example:  With an existing 3.5 kw of power from … Read More

While we’re waiting to become fabulously wealthy when the market collapses, we manage to squeeze in a bit of “Saving Humanity from Itself” as well. As you should be aware, there has been a massive dump of UAP/UFO data this week from the C.I.A.’s work in the area,  thanks to efforts of Glenn Greenwald at … Read More

Having grown up in a majority-Asian neighborhood, there is a certain art to Asian cooking that brings joy to the palate.  In particular, this week’s Thursday afternoon dinner of teriyaki chicken. Lots of options here, depending on schedules, amount of labor you want to invest, and so on.  For those on a short clock, boneless, … Read More

I suppose we ought to start with the retail data just out: Saved by the auto industry, looks like to us.  (Who the hell is driving?) With CV-19 still raging – and variants popping up – should be interesting to see how the coming few months roll.  Do people have anywhere left in their homes … Read More
