This morning, a look at why there is a case to be made for many companies to “go rural” and get out of Big Cities.

This is not just about socialist-leaning cities like Seattle – where they want to go after Jeff Bezos for slowing down Amazon expansion due to city plans to slap a head tax on businesses.  It’s also about things like quality of life.  Yes, that includes under-funded pension liabilities, as well.

First, though, a few headlines and a look at a market which is heading down again this morning.  In our ChartPack: How far is down?  Got a seat belt?

In the Friday morning “Coping” section on UrbanSurvival.com I proposed something outrageou, even for us.
As readers know, we have been collecting a huge “bubble” of anomalous-event reports in the past week, including several “far-out” events rights here at the ranch in East Texas.

But, this morning we take it further and expand on the inquiry between the market “decision to bust out on the upside” with the arrival of this “weird to woo-woo” event-cloud.

Coffee up…we’ll get into that after a few wake-up headlines and the chart pack…

In part one of this article, we considered the financial tidal waves bearing down on us that will force millions to manage-down their present lifestyles.

This morning, we talk about downsizing your lifestyle before it becomes a necessity – and this means while you still have a lot of good choices that can be made.  After headlines and charts, of course…

We dig in to a number of macro trends that are beginning to support a case for a “slow crash of lifestyles” globally.
In part one today, we go into the drivers of the trend.

In part two, this coming Wednesday, we will explore a familiar topic:  Voluntary lifestyle reduction and how to play that angle.

Along with charts and a few news headlines, but gotta tell you, the news flow is terrible – so far – this weekend.

After the charts, some notes from around the ranch.  Plus, a personal observation about the damage being done by “social just-us warriors.“

Coffee at the ready?
