Building’s on fire.  Fire department has been called.  All safe?  No…not if…..  the exits have been sealed and you’re still inside. And in a sense, that’s where millions of Americans are finding themselves. And strangely, they can give thanks: Their jobs have disappeared.  Thanks Virus.  They’re not as confident in their money holding value: Thanks … Read More

California has become a “land of woes” here lately – moreso than  usual.   First, there are record weather extremes and that’s led to rolling blackouts.  Though today, it looks like the power will be semi-stable.  Even as its reported that California narrowly avoids more rolling blackouts; governor orders investigation. Secondly, California is eyeing a … Read More

Those not lucky enough to know someone “Huna” have “missed the boat” in a manner of speaking.  Huna is sort-of  like a religion but it’s more a “Way” of being.  One of its cornerstones is a concept called Pono. “Pono” offers that “Effectiveness is the measure of Truth.”  Important this week not to confuse politics … Read More

Another scorcher coming up here in East Texas.  With all the hype and BS about “climate change” we should be in the middle of a desert by now.  But, lo and behold, just two days of 100+ temps likely this summer – and that’s counting today.  This is a  first couple of weeks of August … Read More

You can almost taste the changes in the air.  An election coming up. The Post Office, of all things, has become a key pawn. A massive change in how society operates and interacts is pressed by a disease.  A global sense of “peak everything.”  And a collapse of millennium duration social norms. All of it … Read More

We will be focusing in tomorrow’s Peoplenomics report on some of the key “points of confusion” in the modern world.  It’s really silly when you think about it: Humans are the only species I’ve heard of claiming there are more than two basic genders – and a basic 2X2 matrix of relationships. Aye, but these would … Read More

Yeah, something of a directionless market in the early futures slog today.  With good reason, too. The Big Picture Sucks Before we drop this week’s new unemployment claims and the Ex-Im prices, a bit of context is useful here because you need to see how delicate America’s financial future is, at this point. The biggest … Read More

Fresh CPI data, the UK slides into recession, liberal “gush” about Kamala.  Then part two of our plan-ahead piece on aging. Totally full plate this morning.  (Like I need another full plate, lol.) Somewhere in here’s we’ll also review our Aggregate Index market charts and ask some questions about gold’s decline. Coffee and speed-reading? Welcome … Read More

Let’s see here:  Biden is playing for time.  Trump’s in trouble – Secret Service secured the White House because of gunfire (outside) – We just passed 20-million cases of CV-19.  And, oh year, the federal budget is a train wreck due to massive making up of money. Soared through 26 1/2-trillion dollars now. Think tanks, … Read More

It’s always a “hard choice” come Monday.  After a full day off – the only one I afford myself – it’s always a difficult decision whether to write a column that would do a  presidential briefer proud.  Or, whether to focus instead on the practical matters of life. Even more tempting, as we shall pursue … Read More

Short story time.  Fiction?  You decide… By now, most of our readers know I am a huge fan dream research and I’ve been doing copious amounts of personal “dreamwork.” My book on topic (“Psychocartography: Mapping the Human Dream”) has managed to become one of the least-read books on Kindle. Yet I persist in the work.  … Read More

Part 1 this morning of a look-ahead for young people.  Old age is going to creep up on you..trust the old-timers on this.  That means the earlier you have a “game plan” for your senior years, the more likely you will be to “win.” There’s a balance between lifestyle when you’re young and what kind … Read More

Just out from the Labor Department: “Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 1.8 million in July, and the unemployment rate fell to 10.2 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. These improvements in the labor market reflected the continued resumption of economic activity that had been curtailed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic … Read More
