Sure it’s Fed Day, but isn’t the history and origins of Death also kind of, oh, pertinent to all of us? While trying to game the market is fun, sure, there’s always that damn “clock running in the background.”  It will toll for every one of us, eventually.

As we amble through Life trying to gin-up a “good Life Review” purpose (and ‘game film’) it makes sense to inspect the clock, once in a while. Which is what we do today. Ideas for the watchmakers.

On top, that is the Fed Day ChartPack. Nearly two dozen snaps of financial entrails. Though, any inferences will have to be taken with an eye toward the Fed’s rate decision time this afternoon.

Only a handful of headlines are necessary to “stay between the snow poles” for now. Unless, like so many partisans, you really believe the fairytale that political BS matters.  We tend to just wait for the checks to sort that out.

Options, war talks, FOMC rate signals? What could go wrong? Today we play “Line up the Ducks” and with our ChartPack, skry some tea leaves and ponder “divine future.”

While we do that, a space rescue and some mighty-strange weather deserve some attention, too.

Do be advised that the ChartPack is significant this week (69-pages of text and charts).  But it’s not that b i g because it’s a large, easy to read font in the PDF.

If the coming War with China and locked in to Target Zone life isn’t enough, how about a Second Depression, then? Today we have articles on all three prospects.  No, not reading for the faint of heart.

We provide a very long report today comprised of three major topics.

First, a repeat of a Comments post by Reader Stephen2 on risks in the upcoming war with China.  In this section, we speculate (with A.I. modeling’s) as to how much the timeline could accelerate because of Chinese losses to Covid which are not widely appreciated as a) being a U.S. intel op into Wuhan, and one that 2) may have cost China 100-million deaths.

This section explains how China is both Pissed (who wouldn’t be?) but also interested in pursuit of a “least cost war.”

The second aspect of note (with a few headlines along the way) is our ChartPack.  Where the road to Depression 2 – the Greater Depression continues to resolve into view.

And third?  We wrap up with how people who can’t make Big Moves in life (anticipating times going south for all) may have a few “muddle through options that might be employed now – even if addicted to Big City Medicine outlets for life sustaining treatments.

Yeah – a hard issue to write.  and long, too.  In fact (for nonsubscribers info) it’s north of 7,500 words today.  think of it as “a 10th of a book” – NOT counting two dozen pages of charts…

With Ukraine talks next week, the odds of a short but powerful bounce to recent market declines looms.  But as we shall point out, there are a few clouds and prophecies to temper the tone, a bit.

Then there’s the matter of the Calendar and an interesting case of woo-woo overnight, As I have explained both here on Peoplenomics and elsewhere in my books, I live a somewhat strange existence.  See, I have a very nice life when awake. But there is a “second life” that happens in my dreams.

Normally, I don’t mention this “other dimension of George” but there are times when what’s going on with “Project Earth” are allowable.  And the four cardinal dates are when glimpses of Other may (by a few) be most usefully experienced.

Think of that “non-business” (or, it’s really the only business of Life) as offering a few notes on personal “dream tuning.” Because it’s very much like the old classic shortwave set. We can “tune-in” different worlds with practice. Not everyone, though.  Only those who work at it.

It all works because we are “non-local” at our (soul or essence) core level, We are also very forgetful – hence we forget our non-local aspects all too easily.

Forgive me the indulgence in some “plane” speaking.

Although sometimes labeled a “perma-bear” there are times when  we actually do like the long side of things.  Not so much because of the State of the Union (yawns). But because of technical indicators which we will go over in today’s ChartPack.

Then there’s the non-trivial matter of Downsizing – my latest book which I tend to serialize here on the Peoplenomics site because it’s part and parcel of our “Not losing at Life” approach to things.

So pour a second cup – there’s a fair amount to drink in

Two parts to it: The rolling news part and the ChartPack part as the markets hedge. It’s not a long discussion per se. Doesn’t need to be.

But this being the weekend, and with the odds of Spring ahead this month, the gloom of winter is passing.  Until Monday, at least

OK, so Europe struggles to put its “big boy pants’ on while the Deep State goes to war on Musk. Toss in nearly two dozen charts (and how to look at them as “snow stakes” in wintery mountains) and a grand time will be had by all.

Well, except people trying to make it big in AI. All turns into a very mind-expanding report

When “reality bites” you’ll want to have the peroxide handy. Rinse out the wounded past and get on with the living.

Think about all the incisors! We’ve got rumors of Ukraine turning over, a president who is doing more housecleaning than Heloise (hint, hint). And the Left is getting darned near desperate.

Thing that worries us is the charts. Because I don’t know how many people (who read UrbanSurvival) actually notice what I was trying to convey in our “this is not investment advice” columns this week,.

If “…we are still looking at past behaviors of such “Ebbinghaus pauses – like this one from last Thanksgiving…” wasn’t a hint (complete with picture), I don’t know what was.

Today – with a 38 percent gain in our lunch money account for the day Friday, we will closely inspect our ChartPack.

But, even for the (non-subscribers), more downside follow-through, then a rally early to mid-week, and then a resumption of “bottom dropping out” would not be entirely surprising.

We will keep it short today, except for 22 charts. Because Spring is coming and with it, the opportunity to increase America’s independence from the clutches of Banksters, Greedsters, and Gnomes.

Paradoxically, we can learn about “what’s ahead” by looking over our shoulders.  Because this being “birthday week” there is a ton to consider about Life.  Which often gets overlooked in the “noise floor of current events.”

Some pointers along the way, the many charts in our daily ChartPack, and some possible outcomes from presently evolving “news stories.”

A one-cupper today, but worth reading, I think.

Birthing of Network Radio in the 1920s with a modern rhyme with Social Media is one thinking point today. Along with how stock tips are mimicked by :crypto tips” which no one seems to understand, yet.

Radio networks vs. Social media. Stock tips versus Crypto tipso’s. and Smoot-Hawley 2 – the Trump Sequel.

This being a weekend, a short discussion of what’s next when the markets open Tuesday unaware of the orchestral grand finale that could be at hand.  In a modest 49-page ChartPack.

Can we now model our life’s future with AI?  Yes, seems so – we have just done it.  When I wrote my recent book “Doctor Between Your Ears – Practicing Practical Longevity” – I didn’t have any way to validate all of our operating assumptions as we cobbled up an integrated approach to life extension.

However, with the dawn of consumer-accessible AI platforms, we are starting to glimpse at protocols with off the shelf vitamin supplements that hold the possibility of dramatic lifespan – and healthspan – improvements.

This is particularly important to me because I seem to have parted ways with a long-time friend who didn’t take kindly to my strong beliefs in supplements as a path to age extension coupled with a high level of skepticism of mRNA beta testing on large populations.

The data – and we’re mindful that AI can be really off-base sometimes – suggests that there is a path for Elaine and me to live out another 40-50 years.  With me at 76 and Elaine on short-final to 82, those are almost freaky results.

Like “Optimized Healthspan with Protocol: 127 years → Final Healthspan with Lifestyle Improvements: 145 years.”

Needless to say, I’m starting to like my new AI modeling skills. So, this morning – after we get through the charts – we will not only show you how we got there so you can do some modeling on your own.

This is not medical advice.  But, it’s got some real Fountain of Youth potential and we’re at an age where a drink or two of that elixir has definite appeal. OK, a few hours banging GPT isn’t a slog through Florida’s jungles, but fewer poison arrows?

Before we do that, there’s this inflation report just out to deal with…

Has the Market called SB59’s outcome with the weak close Friday? And are there parallels between Trump ending runaway bureaucracy and the collapse of Chinese Civil Service at the end of the Qing Dynasty?

We think the answers are Yes to both. But the details? Well, that’s what the 50-yard seats around here are all about.

Our 20+ years of downsizing is certainly making sense as the world changes. When we moved “out to the woods” people had this ‘tude like “What kind of people run away and live in the woods?”

Today, with the coming of a possible tariff war, inflation causing the Fed to walk-back its “more cuts” nonsense, the real value of living a debt-free life are just starting to appear.

And it all has to do with work, working for the Man, an being able to have enough leftover on payday to make something pleasurable of your life.

So we begin this morning from the ADP Jobs report which follows the weaker than expected Labor JOLTS report Tuesday. Then we get into how the charts are looking and THEN we will slide into the Downsizing book.

Which – and this is almost funny – I had forgotten I’d already written a couple of chapters on – so we will finish serializing that one before resuming the People Are Products book. (Whew!)

Seat belts on?
