Repricing Peace – Prep Ahead for Drought?

The early futures today are down.

But in Europe, it’s a different tale.  There, markets are up – not ginormously – but up, nevertheless.

Why down on the futures, including gold and silver, then?  Wasn’t our state-extreme variance trading model showing a rally is the more likely move ahead?

Could be “mechanical short-covering.”

See, when there is a holiday like the one we’re just through, the Bigs can put on large “just in case” short positions.  If the end of the world doesn’t show up – like it didn’t – then the Bigs have enough “horsepower” to blow things down for a quick knock down.  This allows Bigs to cover their shorts – plus haul in some “fresh tuna” from among the frightened Main Streeters, and then get on with a short-term rally.

In the next few hours? Unless Europe slides down – dramatically – the US-Europe delta beckons like a cash siren.

But, this brings up another problem:  Going back in the rock n’ roll library, we remember “Give Peace a Chance.”  (The Yoko is on us…) See, maybe peace is not good for the Death Industries. With much of the industrial base off-shored…we aren’t the powerhouse of Once-Upon-a-Time America.

Today, we’re playing “Understanding the Gap. “

Let’s Zoom On That

One of Wall Street’s more uncomfortable truths is that markets do not trade on morality. They trade on cash flow. And historically, the mere hint of peace — admirable, noble, desperately needed peace — has sometimes triggered weakness in sectors that quietly thrive on sustained conflict. Defense contractors, energy suppliers, reconstruction logistics firms, cybersecurity outfits, and even certain commodity producers often see their revenue visibility diminish when war risk declines. Remove the urgency, and you remove the premium.

Take the end of the Cold War. When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and tensions between the U.S. and Soviet Union eased, major defense contractors entered a multi-year slump. Companies that had built their entire growth trajectory around sustained military expansion faced what became known as the “peace dividend.” Budgets contracted. Procurement slowed. Investors rotated capital elsewhere. Peace was geopolitically welcome — but it reduced the forward earnings narrative for large swaths of the defense complex.

A more recent example surfaced during periods of de-escalation talk in the Middle East. On several occasions over the past two decades, headlines suggesting potential détente with Iran or drawdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan coincided with short-term pullbacks in defense stocks and energy volatility premiums. When war risk rises, oil carries a geopolitical premium. When negotiations advance, that premium often compresses. Markets price uncertainty — and conflict is a very expensive form of uncertainty.

Even World War I provides a lesson. As armistice discussions gained traction in late 1918, shares of certain wartime industrial suppliers softened on expectations that government orders would decline post-conflict. The same pattern appeared after World War II: demobilization meant factories retooled, contracts ended, and investors had to reprice earnings expectations. Peace is good for civilization. But war — extended, funded, industrialized war — has historically produced predictable revenue streams. Markets respond to predictability. And in the harsh arithmetic of capital flows, prolonged conflict can be easier to model than lasting peace.

And if peace compresses premiums, the next logical question is whether peace actually sticks.

Intermediate Term – War Comes Anyway

I still hold to the theory (not advice or a recommendation) that war will show up before May. Reader Ray, who has a very good sense of such things, sees it too.

Despite there being “talks” on Iran, Ray is very much on point in noticing:

“I expect Trump to meet with whatever minor mullah Khamenei sends to represent Iran.

I expect nothing to be settled.

I expect Trump to announce that the United States recognizes Reza Pahlavi as the true leader of Iran.

I expect about 43-44 other countries to recognize Pahlavi, within hours…

followed by fireworks.”

For now, the Futures are watching Iran talks, the gap with Europe, and this morning’s…

First Data of the Week

Empire State Manufacturing is up first:

“Business activity increased modestly in New York State in February, according to firms responding to the Empire State Manufacturing Survey. The headline general business conditions index was little changed at 7.1, its fourth positive reading in five months. New orders increased, while shipments held steady. Unfilled orders rose and delivery times were slightly longer.”

We sense a rally before collapse.  (Wish the futures did!)  As we sit around, holding hands, and chanting “All we are asking is Give Greed a Chance.”

Now the REAL Enemy: Digital Dustbowl

This is the “one in the wings” of the Great Depression replay – and it may be only the leading edge.  Quietly, this winter has been turning into a snow pack disaster. Experts issue warning as impending crisis threatens major US region: ‘This is not going to be good’

How bad? Think about a Digital Dustbowl.  Sure, hope lingers in stories like California Storm With Feet Of Sierra Snow, Locally Flooding Rain Continues Through Thursday.

But hope is not a solution.  Not when this early, some parts of (panhandle) Florida this year have had more snow on the ground than Utah.

And those server farms being built along the Columbia River up in Washington State that G2 has been working on?  What happens to the AI boom and build if a long-term climate change featuring dramatically less precip is in the works?  AI doesn’t run on hope. It runs on electrons and lots of hydro power.

That’s when asymmetric warfare on the American middle class could launch in earnest: rising summer power costs, rolling blackouts.  Then mix in foreign insurgents attacking key grid infrastructure.

Not a pleasant future, but then neither is this:

No, it’s not time to crawl under the bed with the dusty bunnies.  But we have taken to living a blanket and a pillow on the floor, just in case.

Big Droughts – the kind that get nicknames and land in the history books – don’t happen overnight. They are part of long-term trends.  And, if you look at the monthly animation in this report Drought in 2025 in 14 Graphics | January 15, 2026 | Drought.gov, you can scale your sense of the problem.

The Lindbergh Rhyme and More

OK, so the Greater Depression is still coming together, the Dustbowl reincarnation has more AI and food angles.  Might be as bad year for towboat operators along their breadbasket, too.  But what about the OTHER rhyme of times before?

Here’s an answer: Sheriff clears Guthrie family; Trump warns of severe penalties for those responsible.

The rest of the “rhymes of times” are more subtle.  A few upticks in bankruptcies might be hinted in Major UK brewery collapses into administration – popular beers to vanish – Birmingham Live.  And which that rolls, here’s one that gives cause for pause: How Billionaire Miles Guo Hijacked the Bankruptcy Court System – Business Insider.

Durable goods, housing, and international trade are still ahead, as the financial orchestra is striking up another week to dance to…

Around the Ranch: Drought Prep Time?

When you make the time to just sit around and “be with things” out here in the deep woods, a lot comes into focus.

Two things we have been focusing on are really looking like high payoff plays  that it’s not too late to get on board with.

Although we have a fair bit of solar now, I may be adding some additional panels.  Found a deal on 250-watt used panels for under 25-cents a watt.  Sure, that doesn’t include the BOS (balance of system) parts – like a power wall or liquids, a big grid-interactive charger, and charge controllers.  BUT if there’s a drought it MIGHT mean extreme sunshine so to keep cool?

Along with this, the spring “rework all air seals” is on tap, too.

And other one – in the garden – is drip irrigation. Because it’s relatively inexpensive and easy to back up with a simple rain catchment and IBC tote mashup and some flow control.  Amazing what we can do with a 12-volt marine-type water pump, too. A panel or two, a 100-amp-hour battery?  Now you’ve got chill independence and a salad on standby.

I’m not saying run out and sign up for a major solar debt.  Far from it.  But scale back and build what you’re really after – resilience.

Because when times get tough – and history is replaying a bit lately – the Big Strategic Wins will come from being first to solve the everyday problems of life.

During the Great Depression, home gardens weren’t a lifestyle choice — they were an economic survival tool. With unemployment reaching roughly 25% at its peak, millions of families turned vacant lots, backyards, and even city rooftops into food-producing ground. These “thrift gardens” (a Depression-era precursor to the WWII Victory Garden) supplied vegetables, potatoes, beans, and fruit that offset grocery costs when cash simply wasn’t available. In many towns, local governments actively promoted seed distribution programs and community garden plots because food security meant social stability.

Does your locale have a “pea patch program?”

Back then, gardens were part of a broader resilience system that included canning, root cellaring, backyard chickens, and small livestock. A well-managed garden could stretch a family’s food budget dramatically — not by luxury standards, but by calories and nutrition. Fresh produce also buffered families against the volatility of food prices and supply disruptions. In practical terms, the home garden reduced dependence on fragile cash income streams and turned time and labor into edible security — a lesson that tends to resurface whenever economic uncertainty returns.

Our plan is simple: Get there before the crowds.  Start eating fresh out of the garden instead of store-bought veggies that have lost half their nutritional value from a two-week truck ride to the store.

If the old saying “You are what you eat” is true, we plan to eat “young and fresh.”

Write when you get an appetite,

  2. Is tech msm promoting clould computing overr onpremises technology?

    AI Overview

    Yes, technology mainstream media (MSM) and industry analysts generally
    promote cloud computing over on-premises technology, largely driven by
    the rapid, massive shift toward digital transformation, AI adoption, and the
    financial models favored by major tech vendors. While on-premises solutions
    are often presented as “legacy” or “traditional,” the media narrative focuses
    on the agility, scalability, and lower upfront costs of the cloud.

    Here is a breakdown of how the tech media covers this shift:

    Arguments Favoring Cloud in Tech Media
    …
    Coverage of On-Premises Technology
    …
    The Role of Analyst Firms
    …
    Conclusion

    While the media heavily promotes the cloud, the reality in 2025–2026 is
    shifting toward a hybrid approach, where on-premises infrastructure is still
    heavily used alongside public cloud for security and compliance. However,
    the dominant, forward-looking narrative in the technology media remains
    overwhelmingly pro-cloud.

    are tecxh liberal arts educated writers getting paid by cloud providers?

    AI Overview

    Yes, tech-focused, liberal arts-educated writers are being hired and paid by cloud
    providers and AI companies, often in roles that bridge the gap between complex
    technology and human communication.

    Cloud computing companies (like AWS,
    DigitalOcean, and others) hire writers for technical documentation, tutorials, and
    marketing content. While technical proficiency is required, the ability to translate
    complex material into understandable language—a hallmark of a strong liberal
    arts education—is highly valued.

    Key Findings on Liberal Arts Writers in Tech/Cloud: Roles in High Demand:

    Roles in High Demand:
    …
    Compensation: Technical writers in the U.S. have an average annual pay of
    approximately $81,001 (as of Feb 2026), with contract roles offering flexibility.

    AI and Cloud Intersection:
    …
    Specific Companies Hiring: …
    …
    Focus on Communication:
    …
    he Shift Towards Specialization

    While there is a place for liberal arts
    writers, the “entry-level” tech writing job is evolving. Companies
    now often expect technical writers to have “domain-specific
    knowledge” in areas like cloud computing or software development.

    Freelance and contract work remain a major avenue for these writers,
    with platforms and companies paying for tutorials and guides, often
    ranging from $100 to $400+ per article.

  3. Most of Ure readers are familiar with Eisenhower’s farewell address to Congress, in which he warns Congress and the nation of the potential dangers of the ever demanding military industrial complex.

    Since the start of the Cold War and particularly after Vietnam, military contractors have relentlessly lobbied Congress to fund various types of military hardware for allied foreign sales – “foreign military sales,” or FMS is the common term among the DoD community. This hardware ranges from advanced aircraft, manned and unmanned, to ships and armored land attack vehicles. The contractors, in return for copious amounts of taxpayer funding, direct large sums of their corporate, tax deductible money into the campaign coffers of key politicians. They get great return for their campaign ‘investments.’ Money talks.

    Many will argue that this quid pro quo system is what won the Cold War. The Soviets lacked the capitalist inspired innovation that fueled the West’s engines of industry, producing military hardware for an ever increasing list of foreign allies. Capitalism literally erected a military hardware fence around the USSR, where upon communism eventually collapsed during the last days of the Reagan presidency.

    But China and the PRC learned from the USSR’s mistakes, accepting US trade conditions during the Nixon years, ultimately equaling or surpassing U.S. industrial and techo capacities in the 2000s. Beware the dragon. Its time has come.

    • Our esteemed colleague has identified a key concern among brethren of the oak leasf cluster clan: Over the past twenty years, global arms sales have shifted from a largely U.S.–Russia duopoly toward a more triangular structure that now prominently includes the People’s Republic of China (PRC). In the early 2000s, the United States dominated the export market by a wide margin, leveraging NATO alliances, foreign military sales (FMS) programs, and post-9/11 security relationships to expand deliveries of aircraft, missile systems, naval platforms, and armored vehicles. Russia (the successor state to the USSR) remained the second-largest exporter for much of that period, supplying legacy clients in India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. China, by contrast, was still a marginal player, often dependent on reverse-engineered or derivative platforms.

      By the mid-2010s, the landscape began to change. U.S. exports remained the largest globally, supported by high-end systems such as advanced fighter aircraft, missile defense platforms, and networked command systems. Russia maintained significant market share but faced increasing constraints from sanctions, aging production capacity, and the diversion of equipment to its own military requirements. Meanwhile, China steadily expanded its footprint, particularly in price-sensitive markets across Africa, South Asia, and parts of the Middle East. Beijing positioned itself as a lower-cost, fewer-strings-attached supplier, offering drones, air defense systems, naval patrol vessels, and armored vehicles bundled with infrastructure financing and political alignment incentives.

      In the most recent decade, the relative gap has narrowed in certain regions. The United States still leads in total dollar value of arms exports, but China has overtaken Russia in several markets and now competes directly in segments such as unmanned aerial systems and missile technology. Russia’s share has contracted due to war-related supply disruptions and sanctions pressure, while China’s state-directed industrial base and integrated civil-military strategy have allowed it to scale production and extend influence. The result is not a simple replay of the Cold War arms race, but a more complex, multipolar competition in which the PRC has emerged as a durable third pillar in the global arms trade.

      • Wars aren’t won by military hardware, they are won by the country’s Industrial Base that supports it’s entire economy

        (all the career military people are probably going to disagree with this since from their view everything is solved by their Hammer, “military power” since that is all they have)

        Based upon my analysis China has already won the current conflict.

        China now produces MORE manufactured goods than the US – Japan – Germany do put together. (more than 30% of everything manufactured in the world)

        In many industries and technologies China is now the World’s Leader.

        For 2024 and 2025 more patents were issued to Chinese developers than the US and the EU added together

        In the scientific arena China is now outspending the US by at least 2x, some estimates actually put it at 5x. Acquaintance who is on one of the review boards for the National Science Foundation and has made many trips to China (and had a number of Chinese Students obtain their Phd’s under him) said to me that he shades to the 5x level based upon what he has seen on the ground in China’s R&D centers and Universities.

        Although already producing more than 30% of everything manufactured in the world already the new manufacturing plants for the world are being built in China … NOT in the US. (google the new auto plant that came on line last year … not a worker in sight, everything done on the assembly line is done by robots … same thing is coming to even the Apple cell phones that are made in China)

        China has about 7x the number of engineers as the US.
        China now has about 2x the number of Phd’s in the sciences realm as the US (and is pulling away quickly now in that realm).

        I could go on and on …. but China HAS ALREADY WON THE RACE THAT COUNTS for being the world’s Top Dog …. the country’s INDUSTRIAL BASE and is working on being the TOP SCIENCE country too.

        • Stephen 2,
          Clear and accurate assessment, on target, and that’s from someone who served in the US military for 32 years … 35 years ago, US corporations sold out America for short sighted paper profit gains. Ross Perot tried to warn the populace. His message did resonate winning 19%of the popular vote … Nevertheless, US politicians and Epsteiner billionaires do what they must to be reelected and/or control the narrative.

          The last 50 years of the US hegemony will be based on the US’s nuclear arsenal and the end game of global self destruction/annihilation.

          With the growing trend to global autocracy, the hegemony will end sooner than 50 years.

        • (“China is now outspending the US by at least 2x, some estimates actually put it at 5x.”)

          lol think about that.. a year ago I ordered one case of empty cans for canned water…the cost here was about two hundred a case plus shipping.. the cost right from the factory 12.00 plus shipping .the shipping was a hundred dollars.. I get the shipping slip..it was a whole pallet.. I contacted my sales lady and said I can’t afford a whole pallet of cans..she said oh the shipping was the same for a pallet or one case so we just upped the order..I said I can’t afford that she said oh we still made money and your a good customer..
          we look at investing in something as if the cost of products are the same there as it is here..like the dishwasher I bought..where it’s made the retail cost is 4:50… here it’s 350:00…so could the investment even be bigger by many times what we are spending on inflated prices..

        • China also has an unemployment rate that’s been hovering above 20% for months, now, and there’s not a foundry in the entire nation that can make steel or anneal wire properly.

          It’s an annoyance when you have to replace your CNC-mill every 3-4 years, as the bed goes too far out to machine on and the wiring turns to dust. When someone builds a bridge or a dam and it goes away after a few years, taking a few dozen, hundred, or thousand people with it, you lose your industrial base very quickly, as you can only fill so many fields with girders before you lose the ability to makework.

          {q}
          China now produces MORE manufactured goods than the US – Japan – Germany do put together. (more than 30% of everything manufactured in the world)
          {/q}

          No. China produces more finished goods. The U.S. performs 27% of all manufacturing. We make many more assemblies and subassemblies. We make far fewer design-to-delivered goods. I give it two years or less, before this changes significantly.

          {q}
          For 2024 and 2025 more patents were issued to Chinese developers than the US and the EU added together
          {/q}

          Do you understand that every patent issued to an American or Urepeein nation who has a production presence in China is also automatically issued to China? As long as the CCP requires co-ownership of ALL foreign intellectual property which touches Chinese soil, this will always be the case. This is the sellout to Satan American and Urepeein companies made, to use Chinese $6/(12hr)day manual labor. That labor is now closer to $300 for a 56hr work week — still cheap, but there’s a lot less manual labor both here and there, and Chinese engineers make considerably more than $300 for a considerably shorter than 56hr work week. Americans, Brazilians, Brits, and Germans build robots, too, and none of us use Chinese steel.

          Eventually Xi is going to realize the ChiComs have about 700 million more useless eaters than they need. THAT is when China becomes really dangerous. The ChiComs cannot support and sustain a depression-level (and increasing), unemployment figure. The country will either implode in civil war, or the Central Committee will go into self-preservation mode by seeking out “meat grinder” countries to send millions of Chinese into, and to their deaths.

    • RIP Robert Duvall – the man was in a hundred movies and countless TV cameos. It occurs I know naught of his political leanings. How old school actor to sell shoes to everyone instead of only one half or the other ~ E

  6. The Godfather – Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen

    Tom Hagen: Sollozo is known as the Turk. He’s supposed to be very good with a knife. But only in matters of business, or of some sort of reasonable complaint. His business is narcotics. He has the fields in Turkey, where they grow the poppy. In Sicily he has the plant to process it into heroin. He needs cash and he needs protection from the police for which he gives a piece of the action, I couldn’t find out how much. The Tattaglia Family is behind him here in New York so they have to be in it for something.
    Don Corleone: What about his prison record?
    Tom Hagen: Two terms, one in Italy, and one here. He’s known as a top narcotics man.
    Don Corleone: Santino, what do you think?
    Sonny: There’s a lot of money in that white powder.
    Don Corleone: Tom?
    Tom Hagen: Well, I say yes. There is more money potential in narcotics than anything else we’re looking at now. If we don’t get into it, somebody else will, maybe one of the Five Families, maybe all of them. And with the money they earn they’ll be able to buy more police and political power. Then they come after us. Right now we have the unions and we have the gambling and those are the best things to have. But narcotics is a thing of the future. If we don’t get a piece of that action we risk everything we have. Not now, but ten years from now.

    • To paraphrase: a classic Robert Duvall scene…..

    feat: Brussel Sprouts Bud

    Yesterday from Geneva the head of the Ukrainian presidential office – Lt. Gen. Budanov – posted an update of his Saturday forum meeting in Kyiv while President Zelensky visited Munich. The Lt. Gen. had attended the “Sustainable Economy: Leadership Challenges-2026”.

    Head organizer of the shindig was the Aspen Institute Kyiv think tank led by its youthful executive director Ms. Yulia Tychkivska. The weekend event’s webpage informs that while in university Ms. Tychkivska had been a former Curator of the Global Shapers Kyiv Hub.

    Global Shapers is an offshoot of the WEF. A complete farewell address by the Global Shapers founder has already been scrubbed from the Community website. However a few parting words from last month by Prof. Klaus Schwab may still be found via the following LinkedIn link:
