Whipping Up Some “LazyPonics”

Big report today: Well over 5,000 words plus 29 graphics so it may load a bit slow… What we have is a complete step-by-step on how to put in some home deep water culture (DWC) hydroponics and a big discussion in the chart section about whether the G-20 is driving global stock prices, or whether … Read More

Is This Why Bitcoin Will Self-Destruct?

Forensic economics for breakfast today.  If any of this makes your head hurt, Ure right, it should probably have been put on our Peoplenomics.com subscriber site.  We’re putting it up here because we really don’t wish to be right in our outlook. Let’s start up with a few basics: The big selling point of Bitcoin … Read More

Markets: Is “The News” Predictive?

Prediction and “the News” are on the menu this morning.  This follows both a major financial story – namely, the temporary solution to the Mexico tariffs being levied – and an incredibly interesting vivid dream that was posted to the  Peoplenomics subscriber side Saturday morning at our usual 8 AM posting time. This was some serious … Read More

Serious Woo-Woo (II)

OMG…hard to believe this.  Yet Another Building Collapse. Yeah…so this happened on Sunday in early afternoon in New York City and is headlined on WABC as “Partial Building Collapse in Manhattan…:” This may only make sense to Peoplenomics subscribers, but I had a “building collapse dream” on Friday night (early Sat AM). This was (I … Read More

New “Feature” Added to UrbanSurvival

Got to say, with the unrelenting censorship of views on a certain large social(ist) media platform, a lot of moderately conservative types to conservative liberal types can be found here freely discussing a lot of interesting topics.  Invasion by Mexico, them wanting states back (Revolcion 3.0) and the ICE dumpings in cities that are far … Read More

Peoplenomics Subscriber Update (Public)

In Saturday’s Peoplenomics column, I wondered aloud about the oneironaut experience I had Friday night that involved a building collapse.  Last item in the PN Saturday report. So, as part of my follow-up, here may be the “building collapse” with aspects of “scrambling up” and “bricks” that I was “seeing” ahead of time:  A partial collapse … Read More

“The 100-Year Toaster” (Ch.5 of book)

Survivors can’t rule out famine. Although what will really happen in the long-term is out of everyone’s reach, if we are to transition out of a less monetized existence, there will be widespread social risk.  One of the largest of these is “food risk.” Not just the risks with a pesticide lawsuit, nor the idea … Read More

Prepping: Your “500-Hour Skill Sets”

Now and then I get into conversations with my son about his next visit down here…which may come during summer, but hopefully September after the heat breaks. The reason?  It will be a fine time to work on a couple of his “500-hour skills.”  You see, he’s a prepper/survival-type, too. Many people don’t realize it, … Read More

Big Trouble with Mexico this Weekend?

Although we have a market that is still on crack, we wonder if the markets are yet discounting the remarks (a week ago) by a Mexican Senator – one Félix Salgado Macedonio – who is promoting Revolution 3.0 and has announced Mexico’s intent to move ahead with Reconquista.  Here’s what he tweeted May 31: Trump … Read More

Jobs Report, Science Debunking “Science?”

This being Friday. it’s lawn and garden day around here, so we will be posting this morning’s report in pieces.  By doing this, I can get my lawn mowed (and maybe edged) before breakfast and the market open.  Or not… Jobs Report Just out from the Labor Department: “The unemployment rate remained at 3.6 percent … Read More

Job Whacks, Misunderstanding the Fed

Out of Tune Thursday! Don’t look now, but that grand economist Rod Stewart said it best:  “Every Picture Tells a Story, Don’t It?“ Why, if George Thorogood (corrected) offered econometric models, this would be Bad to the Bone. To quote from the press release this morning: “CHICAGO, June 6, 2019 – U.S.-based employers announced plans to … Read More

"The 100-Year Toaster" (Ch. 4)

Lies about Money and Labor.  There are a couple of axioms that we roll through not to mention the various kinds of “money” out there.  World does great at optimizing senseless digits.  But average work-hours to live numbers?  Forgetaboutit! Our current fave is pseudo-money – the made-up diggery digital spunk.  Which, if you argue the … Read More

A Useful Tech Note: Win 10-1903

While I wasn’t going to write (free) columns on Wednesday, I just had to give some high praise to Microsoft on the recent update to Win-10 v. 1903 which was released a couple of weeks back. It’s stable, love the new features, but there are also a couple of install snags that we ran into … Read More
