While there is much hoopla, rearranging of television schedules, and endless media hype today over the upcoming testimony of former FBI boss James Comey, one of the major things to do when the mass media is busily making a mass (sic) of things is to look for the more important news in background. It’s been an … Read More

Unconventional thinking.  That’s what we do best in the East Texas Outback. You see, when people are tightly packed into what we call the “human coops” – the 300 s/f condos and apartments and incredible traffic jams – there’s no quiet space in the head.  That’s where original thinking comes from. This week Elaine and … Read More

We have previously explained some of our long wave economics perspectives – something we’ve been sharpening for what will be 20-years on this website come September of this year. While most of our outlooks are held for the subscription-based www.peoplenomics.com site (link on menu)  it still seems fair – at least now and then – … Read More

Why, just yesterday we “was havin’ us a cup” talking about “luck.”  And today it’s time to explain how “luck” with runs with you or in some cases over you here in the ETex Outback.

If you are working on your UrbanSurvival Junior News Analyst Badge, here’s the question for you to be working on as your “final examination.” Does the evidence support the notion that the terrorism attacks in the UK are really a mechanism through which the factions are still fighting over the future of the UK’s BREXIT … Read More

Other than a weekend playing “Keep Up with the Power Equipment” (which we will get to in a moment) I spent a couple of hours Sunday morning working on “The Luck Problem.” Remember last week’s column?  “Math in the Afterlife“? That symbol (or sigil) I brought out of the dream realms has been bothering me.  … Read More

Few readers will remember a year and a half back when I was on a national radio show (“Coast”) and said the doom porn crowd would be wrong.  Then last winter I said again that we have several targets ahead in 2017 where the markets COULD hit their all time highs.We’re pleased as punch, once … Read More

Oh, sure, it’s not popular to “tell it like it is” anymore.  Why, the right to tell America how to think is reserved for the hyper-opinionated minions of the corporate media and their left-wing parroting shills. Still, in a few places, like here in the Outback of East Texas, there is still an ability to … Read More

Living out here as we do – several miles from the nearest place where a useable cell phone signal can be found – it’s easy for us to see what people in the Big Cities and living in the Yellow Journals Media Bubble (YJMB) call “society” that there IS a little bit that goes on … Read More

War Among the Business Models: It has been just short of a year since our June 11, 2016 report on the www.peoplenomics.com website titled “Bezos and Bentonville: Barbarians at the Mall” but the battle is raging in background and actually explains a lot of today’s headlines.

Oh, sure it is.  I can, in fact, come up with probably a half dozen (or more) survival situations where knowing how to drop a tree perfectly and precisely where you want it is nothing short of high art. Need an emergency shelter with little effort?  Fall a tree, limb slightly, tarp it and live … Read More

Since the odds of a North Korean first-use are slowly rising over time, we present a rather longish discussion this morning of the factors you will want to be considering (pre-planning) now since at the last minute you’ll be busy.
